Real Gone Music concludes its long-anticipated ride through Better Than Ezra’s Elektra catalog with the one album that NEVER made it to vinyl before, 1998’s How Does Your Garden Grow? Which, we suppose, is what BTE get for making their most ambitious album (to add insult to injury, Elektra dropped them after this record). But a lot of folks think How Does Your Garden Grow was their best release, an inspired and graceful course correction away from grunge pop to an eclectic sound incorporating electronica, hip-hop, Brit-Pop, and even a little second-line rhythm from their hometown of New Orleans. It scored some hits, too: “One More Murder” (also heard in The X-Files film soundtrack) and the Top 20 smash “At the Stars.” Remastered for its vinyl debut by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision, this 2-LP set comes in orange crush vinyl inside a gatefold jacket, and it’s limited to 2500 copies. Released with the full support of the band…only available at participating Record Store Day stores!
