Liz Phair is set to reissue her critically acclaimed album, "Exile in Guyville," June 24, marking 15 years since its original release, according to a press release.

"Exile in Guyville," which had been out of print, will be made available in a digital format for the first time. The reissue also will be released on vinyl as well as on CD. The album will feature four never-released songs from the original recording sessions.

Phair also filmed a 60-minute documentary, "Guyville Redux," which be released on DVD as part of the reissue package. The DVD features an introduction by Dave Matthews, founder/co-owner of ATO Records, which is releasing the "Guyville" reissue package.

"Exile in Guyville," conceived as a song-by-song response to the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street," originally was released on Matador Records 1993. Matador co-founders Gerard Cosloy and Chris Lombardi also chat with Phair on the DVD, looking back at the male-dominated, Chicago independent music scene of the early 1990s.
