This is a vinyl LP pressing of Scalping the Guru by Guided by Voices. The American indie rock band originally released their album on October 28, 2022, via GBV Inc. The album is an archival Guided by Voices release, envisioned and sequenced by Robert Pollard as a cohesive album, featuring select tracks from four GBV EPs released in 1993-1994 by Domino, City Slang, Siltbreeze and Engine Records. They feature the line-up that includes Robert Pollard with Tobin Sprout, Mitch Mitchell, Kevin Fennell, Jim Pollard, Dan Toohey, Greg Demos, and Larry Keller. Recorded on a four-track cassette by Tobin Sprout, with some songs lovingly f***ed with by Mike Hummel.

Guided by Voices consisted of Pollard (lead vocals), his brother Jim (guitar, bass), Mitch Mitchell (lead guitars), Tobin Sprout (vocals, rhythm guitars), Kevin Fennell (drums), and bassist Greg Demos. Their music was influenced by early post–British Invasion garage rock, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, punk rock and post-punk.
