Loveless Remaster Actually Sound Better?

loud enough for me to hear 'em

If you play the original vinyl, the original CD and both remastered CDs simultaneously, Zaireeka fashion, sample the resultant signal, and then run the .wav through a decrypter you get an ascii file which depicts Kev pulling a goatse 4 tha fanz.

This thing'll never come out.

What's yr source, Mark? Amazon UK is holding steady for 23 August: the day when we can forget all this unpleasantness and carry on with our lives.

Each date has come from HMV uk, historically.

Still, I'm slightly encouraged by reports of 'Loveless' recently going out of print in the UK.

Oh yeah, I downloaded a FLAC from a torrent site claiming to be the remastered 'Loveless' and either the remastering is particularly subtle or its a load of bollocks.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I assume it'll come with the EPs that preceded it?

I've recently re-discovered how fucking marvelous that Tremolo EP was

Ha, I just played it in the car on the way home.

> I assume it'll come with the EPs that preceded it?

no, is just the lp, twice.

demo cds were sent out to journos in summer 08. so the music's all done, it's everything else that's holding it up. that's the annoying thing.

Can't tell if you're being serious, is it really the album twice? Different formats?

Yep, once remastered off the stereo DAT masters, once remastered off the analogue tapes. I think that's right. It's been a while...

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. Of course I'm doubtful that, even if it is released in the UK, it'll ever show up here in the States as anything but an expensive import.

it's everything else that's holding it up. that's the annoying thing.
what is this "everything else"?

once remastered off the stereo DAT masters, once remastered off the analogue tapes

This reminds me of the adage about the man with one watch knows what time it is while the man with two watches is never sure. Why don't they just do one definitive version?

> what is this "everything else"?

the usual crap that makes a released cd different from a demo cd - artwork, sleevenotes(?) etc. the ones i saw (and that mike ended up with) were just stamped cds (ie not cdrs and iirc were properly printed on the label side, albeit only with text, no colours or pictures) in a transparent plastic wallet.

so the demo CDs haven't actually leaked? was under the impression that the so-called Loveless remasters floating around last year were fakes ...

dunno, i've not actually heard them (and don't go hunting for leaks). i didn't ask mike for a copy at the time figuring that they'd be available for sale the following month... (and, tbh, i can wait)

Been a while, so:

Anniversary of the reunion, sure.

"This title will be released on January 24, 2011."

still

Shields did just come out of re-mastering Screamadelica. I'm sure somebody out there took notice and plopped Loveless down right next to him whilst at the control panel, with a hint-hint-nudge-nude "hey, while you're at it".

um, freudian slip

but they were done 2 years ago - preview copies went out then.

BAH GOD

"This title will be released on May 16, 2011."

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. When's the 20th anniversary?

This November, I think.

He meant the 20th anniversary of the first announcement of the remasters.

Oh! Next November then.

can't believe kevin shields managed to add another 'great lost album' to his collection of 'great lost albums', especially with it being one he'd already released

How the fuck does this guy pay his fucking bills?

Check'll be there May 16, 2011.

Day after my 32nd birthday. We've been talking about these remasters since I was in my mid-20s.

Belated happy returns, Nick.

I spoke to Kev and he says that he's got one of those card meters installed for the gas and 'leccy these days so that's one less thing to worry about. The royalties on the existing back catalogue mainly go on the hay and kibble for the chinchillas apparently.

pfft

Haha

Even though I've never heard one, I now have the feeling the 'preview copies' sent our were from the original CD master and the remaster has yet to happen.
