The Beta Band's 1998 collection, *The Three E.P.s*, saw a spike in sales after being featured in the film *High Fidelity*. Released by Regal Records and later signed by Astralwerks, it became iconic for its diverse sound reflecting late '90s indie music. The vinyl reissue, remastered by Matt Colton, will be released on July 11, 2025. The collection includes tracks ranging from catchy songs like "Dry the Rain" to experimental soundscapes, showcasing influences from Britpop to electronic music as referenced by notable bands of the time.
"Dry the Rain" serves as a musical Trojan horse of sorts, beginning the collection as the catchiest and most accessible track out of the 12.
Listeners can now experience the magic of "Dry the Rain," which opens both The Three E.P.'s collection and the original Champion Versions EP.
The tracks range from traditionally structured songs such as "Dry the Rain" to wandering soundscapes like "B+A."
With those legendary words, John Cusack's Rob Gordon put on "Dry the Rain" in the adaptation of High Fidelity.
