Loveless: Remastered: 2cd
list price £16.99 your saving £8.00

release date: 15-02-2010

i got my copy this morning. amazon have done this to me before with books -- a pleasant surprise.

Swear that on the Bible!

for me, loveless *is* the bible.

and the remaster is some king james shit.

nrq: stargazing indie-kid at heart

pics or it didn't etc

...

don't have a digital camera

^^^^^^^^ making it up no such thing natch

anyway i don't believe your loveless = bible ; remaster = kjv analogy anyway

the original was the kjv and this remaster is going to be some terrible modern updating with all the 'thees' and 'thous' taken out and god trying to be down with the kids talking like yr mum trying to be yr homies or something

It's been on the HMV coming up page for every week since it was first scheduled ...

karen the kjv while beautiful is not a good translation, which I think is the point of the analogy

I'd be curious to know if there any differences between the promo copies I've had since... what, Sep '08? and history mayne's newly-delivered CDs. Did it just take 18 months to write the sleeve notes or was there further tweaking to be done?

hmm. i get the impression that there's been more tweaking since then, but you'll have to send me the promos so i can make the comparison.

shieldsy spending 18 months 'tweaking'?

never!

No, YOU'LL have to send me YOUR copies. I'm not falling for that old trick, Mr So-Called history mayne.

xp

(Anyway - still the two versions, one from DAT, one from analogue multi-track?)

three versions!

Ha ha. Bless him. I wouldn't want to stand behind this guy in the queue at Starbucks.

Yeah, my minidisc version! xpost

(This is true, btw)

(that day was June 22nd, Mike. and S had probably had them a while by then. search tag's photos for International Colouring Contest)

amazon was listing the md version until quite recently (probably less than 18 months ago). actually, their minidisc list is quite long and there are bargains to be had, some of them quite odd choices (Smashing Orange anyone? Godzilla soundtrack? several Clash compilations, some Bjork)

(i have exactly 1 (one) prerecorded minidisc - Minidisc by Gescom)

Ha ha. Bless him. I wouldn't want to stand behind this guy in the queue at Starbucks.

ha ha
there's a my bloody valentine forum, and when it opened someone kept posting jokes like, kevin shields' wife is pregnant! the baby will be born in eight years.

i would actually be intrigued by any footnotes for this, whether or not they're a legitimate justification for the wait.

I see a bunch of the ones I have are on that list.

Sandinista, £150? Hmm...

immortal Thai pop icon Tata Young weighs in

Is she signed to Sony, do you think?

lol actually yeah

I own all her records

wait, does that imply he's working on a Memory Stick version as well? will that be a different mix again?

iirc the delays are down to Kev writing his own audio codec so that none of the remastered nuances are lost on the Memory Stick release.

This title will be released on March 8, 2010.
Pre-order now!

It actually now feels like he doesn't want any fans to be happy ever again.

The day before my b-day?

i thought that. in october.

Bilinda Butcher would like to point out that she doesn't have a Facebook page. The person who is pretending to be Bilinda Jayne Butcher isn't her, nor are any of the other Bilinda Butchers online. Bilinda isn't a member of any social networking sites. If they could all stop pretending to be her she would appreciate it.

paul weller singing over kevin shields guitars is the musical equivalent of a dog taking a shit on your birthday cake. tosser

Charming!

The one that was floating around last year is hilarious. The two "versions" are indistinguishable.

I wonder if there is a psychiatric term for this kind of neverending procrastination? Because it seems like the actual remastering process was done and dusted many, many months (if not years) ago, so the *only* thing now holding this up is the sleevenotes? It's like Kev keeps missing the deadline for his essay and is giving his indulgent tutor more and more excuses (except no excuses are actually being given, other than the eternal "getting it right" nonsense).

And all this for fucking REMASTERS! God forbid they should actually attempt to release some new material in the next decade. Maybe they are all rich enough (which I doubt), but surely Colm, Deb and Bilinda would not mind seeing a little £££ from these things actually going on sale?

I've gone all the way from excitement, to amusement, to dismissal, back to amusement and now pissed offness over this. What a shambles.

I think I need a lie down, actually.

(and to stop using the word actually all the time)

It's still nothing compared to the gap between the Kraftwerk remasters box set promos and the eventual release.

I wonder how much Deb makes from sales of Loveless.

Hope she still gets something fair.

This title will be released on August 23, 2010.

i listen to both versions pretty much equally atm, v different experiences

Yeah, I imagine the remasters you received are somewhat quieter?

loud enough for me to hear 'em
