After years of badgering by fans, Mac McCaughan, aka Portastatic, is clearing out the vaults with Some Small History, a 2-disc collection of rarities. Some Small History compiles material including b-sides, compilation tracks, EPs, fanzine vinyl and previously unreleased material recorded between 1990 and 2007. Recorded in bedrooms, living rooms and sometimes even real studios, the tracks are sequenced for your maximum listening pleasure (rather than chronologically).
