Hey, I'm going to see them tomorrow. I never listened to A - Z. How is it?

[nosurprises12]

2/4/2014
Some Great Reward
Music for the Masses
Black Celebration
Songs of Faith and Devotion

3/25/2014
Ultra
Violator
Construction Time Again
A Broken Frame

Hey, I'm going to see them tomorrow. I never listened to A - Z. How is it?

Got through 2 of 3 lp's. Very good but not quite 1977 level good. Comes with d/l's available in mp3, flac or alac.

Enjoy the show, they were great here on Tues night.

Just pre-ordered Beck's Morning Phase album on vinyl. Love this album already! Also, if you pre-order thru his website, you get early access to ticket sales for his forthcoming tour.

Liars new album Mess has a limited edition for pre-order available:

The wax dipped version of WIXIW went pretty fast, so if you're interested, you should buy it promptly.

CD:

Spiritualized - Songs In A&E

[MarkO]

Mogwai - Rave Tapes lp
Tame Impala - Lonerism lp
Tindersticks - Angry Saw lp
The Band - ..... Big Pink MOFI reissue.

The Beatles - Peppers, Revolver, Rubber Soul. All 3 from the 80s I think but I need to research. Silver & Black Parlophone labels. HTM in the deadwax.

British or US tracklists?

[nathanfairchild]

Does anyone here have the Massive Attack Mezzanine reissue, and is it worth the ridiculous price tag?

[MarkO]

Yes, I have it. Very good. Amazon Canada has (or had) European pressed copies in stock.

-edit- Holy cow ..... seems to be sold out everywhere. Dang.

[MarkO]

British or US tracklists?

The Beatles ? UK presses.

British or US tracklists?

Just seeing this post, I am 99% sure I know exactly what you are asking about.

...

Yup. And it's a good question. Personally, I'm always torn when it comes to this. For example, UK Rubber Soul has "Drive My Car" and "Nowhere Man" but not "I've Just Seen a Face." I go back & forth. UK Revolver, however, is the far superior version to me.

[shakermaker113]

stupid record companies.

[MarkO]

I know millions of Americans grew up on the Capitol versions but to me, The Beatles should me listened to as George Martin produced them. Just my opinion.

[bmack86]

I just think they should be heard in whichever way sounds better overall. For Rubber Soul there's a strong argument to be made for the US press, as the way it arranges songs makes for a stronger, more fullfilled sounding release. I'd agree with Greg.

Where'd you order this from?

[bballarl]

Their label: http://www.sibirrecords.com/. I believe there were only 100 US copies and 100 Euro copies though.

[bmack86]

Damn.

[bballarl]

Still in stock through the Danish label they partnered with: http://deadsection.dk/store/?product...-12-us-edition

[bmack86]

Thanks for the link. I'll have to wait on that for a bit: shipping is a bitch, but if they still have it when I have extra money, they apparently also have the album from last year, which was just phenomenal.

[bballarl]

Definitely get both if you can. It is well worth it. Ordering from overseas sucks, but at least doing it in bulk takes a bit of the sting out.

[bmack86]

Yeah, I'm just hoping they'll have them when I get my next (substantially larger) paycheck, one that doesn't have to go almost completely to renewing my registration and bar license.

My Branca should show up on Monday. So stoked to have that one to pair with The Ascension.

[bballarl]

I slept on that reissue of Ascension...are there still copies available anywhere?

I suppose I could just go on Discogs and figure that out for myself.

[bballarl]

Nevermind, found it easy enough. Ordered.

[bmack86]

It's totally worth whatever you paid for it. They did a great job with the pressing.
