Daniel Johnston - The End Is Never Really Over
This boxset contains two of Daniel Johnston's long-out-of-print LPs: 1990 and Artistic Vice. Originally released on Shimmy Disc in 1990 and 1991 respectively, the two albums saw Johnston reach wider acclaim as the songwriter of a generation, entering the studio with producer Kramer (Galaxie 500, Half Japanese etc). The shambolic joy that made his earlier home recordings so beloved is still present however, as is his knack to blend naive rockin' pop songs with raw tenderness and heartbreak. 1990 alone contains some of Johnston's most popular and iconic songs, including 'Some Things Last A Long Time,' 'True Love With Find You In The End,' and 'Funeral Home'
Known also for his unique artwork and drawing style, this limited boxset is a 'Captain America FOLK' T-shirt (available in M or XL), a 16-page art book, a Jeremiah The Frog pin badge and a set of stickers.
