DGC Rarities Vol. 1 (US CD)

Year: 1994

Format: CD

Country: US

Record Label: Geffen

Catalog No: DGCD 24704

Bar Code: 7 20642 47042 8

Notes: This is Geffen's release of rarities and b-sides from their repertoire of artists, The SUNDAYS included.  Basically, it provided fans a proper US release of the early b-side "Don't Tell Your Mother".  The booklet includes brief comments from David Gavurin on the origins/background of the song.  This album marks the fourth instance of the song being released on CD - this perhaps being the easiest/cheapest to track down.  The others include the "Can't Be Sure" UK 3" CD, the "Can't Be Sure" US Promo CD, and the Japanese "Reading" CD which are all relatively rarer and/or more expensive. 

This compilation was also released on cassette format, and apparently, there was an LP release in 1994 as well (for the UK markets) but that LP excluded The SUNDAYS track.  As an FYI,  there is a coke bottle colored vinyl LP reissue from Interscope in the works [preorder link] which does include the SUNDAYS track (ship date October 3, 2025).

On the side, make sure to get the US/DGC version of this CD compilation.  Non-US versions (the Australian version comes to mind) may have different track listings where The SUNDAYs are not included.
