2008, Merge
This 3-CD limited edition set is comprised of 49 re-mastered tracks from the legendary Boston band's original tapes, plus the mysterious "Faith Healer" video, all for an incredibly low price. Chronicling Big Dipper's years on the Homestead label, discs 1and 2 include the 1987 EP BooBoo and the LPs Heavens (1987) and Craps (1988). Nine little or seldom heard bonus tracks from that era fill out Disc 2. Disc 3 compiles fifteen previously unreleased tracks from the band's 1991 and 1992 post-Epic recording sessions. Extensive liner notes from the original band members and Tom Scharpling (host of The Best Show on WFMU).
