Those kids, brothers \u003cstrong\u003eTim \u0026amp; Mike Kinsella\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eVictor Villarreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eSam Zurick\u003c\/strong\u003e, were joined by \u003cstrong\u003eDavey von Bohlen\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1994 and recorded their only full-length album before calling it quits - \u003cem\u003eBurritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports, Cards in the Spokes, Automatic Biographies, Kites, Kung Fu, Trophies, Banana Peels We’ve Slipped on, and Egg Shells We’ve Tippy Toed Over\u003c\/em\u003e - often referred to as \u003cem\u003eShmap’n Shmazz\u003c\/em\u003e. Originally released on the Man With Gun label, the album quickly fell out of print after the band’s breakup, with the songs eventually making their way to the \u003cem\u003eAnalphabetapolothology\u003c\/em\u003e compilation, released in 1998 via Jade Tree Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a testament to this legendary debut, Polyvinyl is thrilled to announce the vinyl reissue of \u003cem\u003eShmap’n Shmazz\u003c\/em\u003e, which has been remastered from the original tapes - restoring the original album on vinyl for the first time since 1995, including its original artwork. With the unmatched intensity heard in the opening track, “Little League,” coupled with eccentrically poetic lyrics, this iconic album has influenced countless artists since its release and unintentionally sparked a new genre. \u003cstrong\u003ePitchfork \u003c\/strong\u003ecalls the album “a touchstone of Midwestern emo,” while \u003cstrong\u003eVulture\u003c\/strong\u003e placed “Little League” at #3 on their 100 Greatest Emo Songs of All Time list. Musician \u003cstrong\u003eDevendra Banhart\u003c\/strong\u003e has also expressed his love for the band in a 2017 Joan of Arc documentary, describing Tim’s powerfully striking vocals like \"going to the zoo on quaaludes, but all the other animals are on speed.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the band’s influential legacy, Cap’n Jazz was the catalyst to the formation of other notable bands featuring the original members, including \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Football, Joan of Arc, The Promise Ring, Owls, Owen, Make Believe, Ghosts and Vodka\u003c\/strong\u003e and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis exclusive vinyl variant is on “Ice Blue” wax and limited to 500 copies, so order yours today!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle League\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOh Messy Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePuddle Splashers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlashpoint: Catheter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn The Clear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYes, I Am Talking To You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasil's Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluegrassish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanet Shhh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sands've Turned Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecious\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQue Suerte!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE NOTE: DUE TO MANUFACTURING PROCESSES, PRODUCTS MAY VARY FROM IMAGE MOCK-UP.
