Mercury Rev's 1991 critically acclaimed debut album Yerself is Steam plus their debut 12” EP Car Wash Hair, in a 2LP gatefold sleeve and a 2CD 6-panel pack.  The vinyl is a limited edition in transparent orange vinyl; both are in the original artwork.  Mercury Rev are currently touring worldwide to support their new Bella Union album ‘Born Horses’

Yerself is Steam was a critical success, launching the band into live gigs and a 34-year career.  It led to their third gig being on the main stage at Reading Festival; their fourth was supporting Bob Dylan.  Despite the reviews and tours resulting in strong sales, it was their fourth album Deserter's Songs that gained a mainstream audience.

Pitchfork: “a heroic dose of psychedelic rock that is equal parts nerve-wracking and awe-inspiring.”
