Frank Black

Teenager of the Year

£44.99

Released: 17th January 2025. Recorded amid a rich songwriting vein, just as the Pixies had been placed on hold, Frank Black's ambitious 22-track album 'Teenager of the Year' came out in May 1994, just one year after his fantastic self-titled solo debut. Recorded with scene legend Eric Drew Feldman and featuring the single 'Headache', 'Teenager of the Year' is seen by many as his greatest solo work, subsequently appearing in both Pitchfork's Top 100 Albums of the 1990s poll and the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die book. For its 30th anniversary, Frank Black and original band are heading out in January 2025 on a 14-date tour of North America, Paris and London where they'll be performing 'Teenager of the Year' from start to finish each night. To complement, 4AD are releasing a special vinyl tour edition of the album, with Kevin Vanbergen having expertly remastered the album from its original analogue studio tapes. Sounding as essential as ever, the limited 30th Anniversary Tour Edition has been cut at 45 rpm for optimum playback and is being pressed on double gold vinyl.
