Additional information
Dinosaur Jr.: J Mascis (vocals, guitar); Mike Johnson (bass). Additional personnel: Giovina Sessions, Woon Kuo Soon (violin); Marcie Brown (cello); Marty Knieriem (viola); Donna Gauger (trumpet); Kurt Fedora (bass); George Berz (drums); Bilinda Butcher, Tiffany Anders, Varsh Farazdel, Kevin Shields (background vocals). By the late '90s, J Mascis had been through the wringer and back with his band Dinosaur Jr., suffering through over a decade of acrimonious lineup shifts, transitioning from hand-to-mouth indie labels to the majors, and generally riding the waves of the mainstream commodification of alternative rock that defined much of the decade for many fringe-dwelling rock bands. Seventh album Hand It Over followed a three-year break after 1994's Without a Sound, a restrained and inconsistent album that nevertheless gave the band their biggest commercial success. Without a Sound also happened after the departure of longtime drummer Murph, leaving Mascis to track all the drum parts himself and return Dinosaur Jr. to the virtual solo-project status it held for their 1991 major-label debut, Green Mind. The live chemistry of the original lineup would make their material after a 2007 reunion some of their most unexpectedly strong, but from the catalog that came about from Mascis' control-freak tendencies meeting major-label excess, Hand It Over is simultaneously the exhausted last gasp of a fading project and a largely overlooked gem. My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields co-produced the album, and his experimental attitude towards guitar tone and sonic atmospheres can be heard in the spectrum of fuzz that colors Mascis' solos and walls of riffage alike. The lazy drifting tempos, Mellotron flutes, and layers of distorted and acoustic guitars on "I Don't Think" all bring to mind the softer side of MBV's style (not to mention guest vocals from Belinda Butcher on the song's chorus). While the songwriting, lyrics, and soloing are all signature Mascis, there's a dreaminess that was absent from the records leading up to it. This dreamy haze compliments Mascis' eternal-slacker songwriting energy on the yearning "Can't We Move This" and the ambling "Loaded." In addition to the shoegaze undercurrents, the flirtations with extended instrumentation that began with symphonic touches on 1993's Where You Been reach full strength here. This can be as subtle as the stabbing strings on "Can't We Move This" or as blatant as the piccolo trumpet that takes center stage in "I'm Insane." Mascis never loses touch with his guitar-wizard roots, offering up eight-minute album centerpiece "Alone" as Hand It Over's testament to shadowy, Neil Young & Crazy Horse-modeled melancholy. Upon initial release, the record was all but buried by a complete lack of promotion, and it would be ten years before the Dinosaur namesake was reactivated with a reunion of the classic lineup. Despite poor sales, Hand It Over was a hidden highlight, with more good songs, gnarly shredding, and wildly a
Reviews
Rolling Stone (4/3/97, p.67) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...it echoes with static-drenched folk strumming, classic-rock cadences, drawling vocals and flailing solos....an ambitious, uncompromising record that sets Dinosaur Jr. back on the path to mainstream obscurity and alt-rock supremacy." Q (4/97, pp.120-121) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "J. Mascis's most cogent and touching yet....he was grunge before 'grunge' was coined; now...he's letting his songs really breathe." Alternative Press (5/97, p.69) - 3 (out of 5) - "...The restrained power in 'Alone,' the happy horns in 'I'm Insane' and the disc's overall clean production attest to the thick, bushy hair on the band's chest..." Option (5-6/97, p.101) - "...an exceptionally well-crafted, finely textured onslaught of guitars and melancholy...there's more crunch in the rhythms and more scream in the solos than he's allowed himself in a while..." Melody Maker (3/22/97, p.48) - "...Even after nearly 10 years of grunge, Mascis still surprises with the range of his influences....HAND IT OVER is as refreshing and as exhilarating as sunshine after the rain." NME (Magazine) (3/22/97, p.44) - "...ultimately, this is J's victory. Because...this is a return to the original Dinosaur blueprint....Dinosaur needn't be laid to rest yet."

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
