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.

Thrift store today:

Hank Williams - 40 Greatest Hits

[bmack86]

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.

[bballarl]

Got it direct from the label for $25 w/ shipping. Stoked.

I will report back shortly with the verdict on the repress of Lesson No. 1.

[bballarl]

Bryan, Lesson No. 1 sounds and looks great. Still need to listen to the new track with Thurston Moore/Lee Ranaldo on the extra plate, but the original EP sounds awesome.

[bballarl]

Also:

7":
Ovens - Ovens

[IceyHotshot]

It may be easier to just list the CDs/LPs you have not bought.

[bballarl]

Hahaha. I don't have many other hobbies.

[bballarl]

Dear Everyone,

I am selling a bunch of records that I don't want anymore. I'm listing most of them for sale on Discogs as well. If you want more information, feel free to PM me for details/make offers/whatever. Should someone want to buy something, I would prefer to go through Discogs so I can start getting some seller feedback on there.

Here is what I have listed for the time being. I'll be adding more when I feel motivated. All are LPs. Some selections might disappear as I relisten to things if I decide I want to keep them, but the odds of that are pretty slim.
