Whip-Smart, Phair’s September 1994 major-label debut, followed on the heels of 1993’s critically acclaimed Exile in Guyville. Whip-Smart, co-produced by Phair and Brad Wood (Pete Yorn, Sunny Day Real Estate), built on the patented “Girly-Sound” alter-ego promise of Exile with the hard-hitting and quite unapologetic “Supernova” (which shot to Number 6 on the Modern Rock Tracks Chart), “Jealousy,” and the title track, which repeatedly namechecks the chorus of Malcolm McLaren’s “Double Dutch.” A limited edition of Whip-Smart, in orange smoke pressed on 130g will also be available.
Phair’s second studio album for Capitol was 1998’s whitechocolatespaceegg. Again co-produced by Phair and Brad Wood, but this time along with Jason Chasko and Scott Litt (R.E.M., Nirvana), whitechocolatespaceegg showed the Chicago-bred artist fully embracing her then-recent motherhood and family life. Highlights include “Polyester Bride,” “Big Tall Man,” and “Johnny Feelgood.” A limited edition of whitechocolatespaceegg, in yellow smoke pressed on 130g will also be available.
June 2003’s self-titled Liz Phair , which was just recently certified Gold by the RIAA, is pressed on vinyl for the very first time as a 2LP with a gatefold jacket. With a key assist from the super-successful production team known as The Matrix (Avril Lavigne, Jason Mraz), Liz Phair features “Why Can’t I?” (which reached Number 32 on the Billboard Top 100, garnering Phair her first Top 40 single), “Extraordinary,” and “Rock Me.”
