Wow Out! is simple. When you pre-order the deluxe, 2-CD “Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition” from a participating store, you will get to download a very rare live Pavement show, recorded on April 21, 1994 at the Palace in Los Angeles. Then on November 7th, when you pick up your CD at your store or when it is shipped to you, you will also receive a poster and, while supplies last, a super limited 7″.
The poster is a Mad Magazine-style foldout based on a painting that artist Steve Keene contributed for the original release of Wowee in 1995. You can click on the links above to peruse the set-list and to read more about the limited 7″.

This show is the fabled “OLE-170” – the Pavement live album that never came to be and has left a glaring hole for 10 years in the Matador catalog. The show was impeccably recorded on the Crooked Rain tour in early 1994 and features the band introducing new songs that eventually found their way on to Wowee. From our exhaustive research, this show is super rare, even amongst the most devout Pavement tape traders and archivists.
The 7″
To make sure we’re not becoming tooooo digital, while supplies last you will also get a Wow Out!-only 7″ with a rare version of “Black Out” and alternative album version “Extradition”.
According to Stephen, this version of “Black Out” (which is not the album recording) was recorded around the time Crooked Rain came out. It was originally intended for a compilation curated by Thurston Moore, but that never materialized. Matador’s vault plunderers found it on a reel of final mixes from the Random Falls sessions in NYC from early 1994. “Extradition” is a version with different vocals and a slightly different mix from the album version.
Remember, supplies of this 7″ are limited. So Wow Out! now.
