The web store will offer both individual tracks and full albums available as DRM-free 256k MP3's. It will be the exclusive retailer for digital versions of Slint's "Spiderland" and untitled EP, as well as all the Shellac and Rapeman albums. Speaking of Shellac, the Touch and Go digital store will also offer both CD quality 16 bit and above CD quality 24 bit WAV files of Shellac's latest long player, Excellent Italian Greyhound. Finally, touchandgorecords.com will be the first place to present the digital-only reissue of two scarce Bedhead EP's originally released on Trance Syndicate--"4song19:10CDEP" (1994) and "The Dark Ages" (1996).
