"... the holy grail of power pop." -Tiny Mix Tapes

"Matthew Sweet's third album is a remarkable artistic breakthrough ... thanks to his exceptional songwriting, the album is a fresh, original interpretation of a classic sound." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic.com

Matthew Sweet’s essential 1991 power-pop tour-de-force gets its high-res due on Intervention’s Expanded Edition release. In addition to including the original CD release’s 15 tracks, this hybrid CD/SACD includes three demo tracks not included on the original release- “Good Friend,” “Superdeformed” and “Teenage Female.”

15 of the 18 tracks on this remastered Expanded Edition are Mastered Direct-to-DSD from the Original Master Tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound. The last three tracks are Matthew Sweet’s own demo recordings made to DAT. Intervention’s remaster delivers maximum bass and dynamics. There are big, fat guitar tones and controlled but very expressive bass and a massive soundstage. Girlfriend is not only a 90’s classic but an amazingly pure and simply tremendous rock recording!
