Yes! Tommy Guerrero’s revered Return Of The Bastard gets its first ever vinyl reissue. Endearingly simple but beautifully beguiling, it's lo-fi dusty break business with the most elegant guitars this side of Vini Reilly and Gabor Szabo. Tommy's breezy drum-machine guitar-soul should be prescribed to soothe an aching world. By rights, he should also be a Balearic god. Here's 14 tracks of drop-dead laconic beauty, all of them combining to create this unheralded masterpiece. Working with Tommy directly, the LP has been fully remastered and sounds as dazzlingly, heartbreakingly beautiful as it did back in 2007.

Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Natalie ★★★★★

The guitar work really stands out on this pressing, cutting through the lo-fi haze with surprising clarity. It's been on heavy rotation since it arrived, perfect for late-night listening sessions.

Claire C. ★★★★★

Finally have this on vinyl and the dusty lo-fi breaks come through warmer than any digital version I've heard. The elegant guitar lines sit perfectly in the mix, and the pressing itself is quiet and clean.

Lucy ★★★★☆

The lo-fi guitar work is even more elegant on vinyl than I'd imagined, and the pressing is nice and quiet. My only minor gripe is the jacket feels a bit thin for a gatefold sleeve, but the music itself makes up for it.
