Morphine - At Your Service

Singer Mark Sandman coined the phrase ‘low rock’ to describe the sonorous, languid groove he created with the acclaimed Boston band Morphine. This 34-song, 2-disc collection contains all previously unissued studio tracks, alternate takes & live performances & takes its name from the line Sandman used to kick off most shows, ‘’We are Morphine at your service’’.

The first disc (subtitled ‘Shadows’) contains unreleased diamonds such as ‘It’s Not Like That Anymore’, ‘Women R Dogs’, ‘Bye Bye Johnny’ and ‘Come Along’.

The final disc (subtitled ‘Shade’) opens with a five song performance recorded at WMBR-FM in Cambridge, MA. The band returned to the radio station a year later during its tour for ‘Yes’, performing five more songs. Among the alternate versions of album tracks on the second disc are such standouts as ‘Buena’, ‘Empty Box’ and ‘The Night’.
