Siete singles, incluido su primer acetato inédito hasta ahora, con 16 temas grabados entre 1979 y 1991 que demuestran por qué Lyres son una de las bandas de garage verdaderamente esenciales. Contiene un libreto de 20 páginas con fotos y notas interiores escritas por Jeff Conolly. Incluye un CD con los 16 temas. Edición limitada de 700 copias.
Formados a finales de los 70 en Boston a partir de las cenizas de los míticos DMZ, Lyres son una de las bandas de garage verdaderamente esenciales y los siete singles de este box set dejan claro por qué. 16 temas grabados entre 1979 y 1991, poseedores de un sonido, actitud y manera de hacer música que no se encuentran muy a menudo. Incluye su primer acetato nunca publicado hasta ahora, grabado en directo y prensado solo dos semanas después del primer ensayo del grupo. Su increíble single de debut en Sounds Interesting se presenta en una edición facsímil, al igual que una sucesión de magníficos temas que Lyres grabaron durante los años 80 para el sello de Boston Ace of Hearts, de Rick Harte, quien también produjo las grabaciones. Entre ellos, títulos como ‘Buried Alive’, ‘Help You Ann’, ‘I Really Want You Right Now’, ‘She Pays The Rent’, ‘Not Looking Back’ y otros temas clásicos de la escena rock & roll de los 80 que muestran al grupo (y sus cambiantes formaciones) en su mejor momento.
 
ENGLISH
Formed in Boston in the late '70s from the ashes of the legendary DMZ, Lyres are one of the truly essential garage bands -- and the seven 7"s (and CD) contained in this boxed set clearly prove why. Featuring 16 tracks spanning 1979 to 1991, they're loaded with sound, attitude, and a way of making music not found around too often. This set includes the contents of Lyres' never-released first acetate, recorded live and pressed by the band only two weeks after their first rehearsal. Their amazing debut 7" on Sounds Interesting Records is presented with facsimile artwork, as are a string of magnificent tracks the band recorded during the 1980s for Boston's Ace of Hearts Records, run by Rick Harte, who also produced the recordings. Tracks such as "Buried Alive," "Help You Ann," "I Really Want You Right Now," "She Pays The Rent," "Not Looking Back," and other staples of the 1980s rock and roll scene show the band (and its varying line-ups) at the top of their game. Includes 20-page booklet with photos and liner notes by Lyres organist and vocalist Jeff Conolly. Limited edition of 700.
