The Verlaines' Bird Dog, originally released in 1987, stands as one of New Zealand's most compelling rock albums from the decade. Recorded at Mascot Studios between August 1986 and March 1987, this introspective work showcases the band's ability to craft emotionally resonant songs that rival the best songwriting of the era.
This Record Store Day 2023 exclusive vinyl reissue, limited to just 1,200 copies, brings back essential tracks like "Slow Sad Love Song," the title track, and "C.D., Jimmy, Jazz and Me" that helped define the album's lasting reputation. Often considered The Verlaines' best work, Bird Dog captures the band at their creative peak, delivering a collection that has remained influential in New Zealand's rock canon for over three decades.
