oh, but you haven't seen that interview shields did not too recently tho, no? he emphasized his love for vinyl and how premium packaging would be in the vinyl. or that he would package cd's with the vinyl rather than have a "lesser" version. something along those lines. might be found up-thread.
altho i imagine it'll follow standard formatting: cd version, vinyl version

wait - what didn't i read?
― kelpolaris, Thursday, 22 March 2012 19:42 (1 year ago) Permalink
I read that interview, he was referring to his own label, not to Sony.

would buy vinyl version with CD included, love it when bands do that (school of seven bells, M83)

darn darn.
still kinda bewildered sony both has an irish adjunct and that mbv has chosen this. i thought shields & co. all lived in london at this point?
― kelpolaris, Thursday, 22 March 2012 19:55 (1 year ago) Permalink
am i right in thinking this must be the only thing NOT on these that came out in the 90s?
― piscesx, Thursday, 22 March 2012 20:08 (1 year ago) Permalink
also their cover of map ref 41N 93W
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Thursday, 22 March 2012 20:17 (1 year ago) Permalink
does it have the track they did with mark eitzel reading something from that red hot comp?

"Incidental One"
― all things must pass (shaane), Thursday, 22 March 2012 20:24 (1 year ago) Permalink
and "Incidental Peace" with Skylab
The Wire cover really really should be on there as well.
― Venga, Thursday, 22 March 2012 20:29 (1 year ago) Permalink
I'd like a good copy of "2" while we're asking.
― all things must pass (shaane), Thursday, 22 March 2012 20:44 (1 year ago) Permalink
Also the remix of "Soon" is missing
― Mark G, Thursday, 22 March 2012 21:16 (1 year ago) Permalink
This just in from Kevin Shields: "I had forgotten about that Wire cover. Going to delay the reissues for a year or two so I can remaster it."
― tylerw, Thursday, 22 March 2012 21:30 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah, "2" from la la la human steps would be da bomz
fwiw, i think mbv's cover of map reference is one of the greatest covers of all time. not just because i'm a fan, but b/c it epitomizes what a cover really and truly should be

mmm, Lovetone Meatball.

Not in my hands - from their Facebook page.
An appropriate cover for the comp there.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 27 April 2012 17:06 (1 year ago) Permalink
those are actually just cd's tho
― kelpolaris, Friday, 27 April 2012 20:50 (1 year ago) Permalink
is anyone putting these out in the US, or am i gonna have to import?.for some reason amazon has them listed at like $50 apiece.
― BringTheAuBonPain, Friday, 27 April 2012 22:00 (1 year ago) Permalink
unreleased tracks are on youtube
― jaime, Friday, 27 April 2012 22:06 (1 year ago) Permalink
I pre-ordered from Amazon.co.uk where they're about £9 + shipping which comes out to about $20/each.
― Spencer Chow, Friday, 27 April 2012 22:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
Actually, I just checked and it was only $44.87 for all three shipped to the US.
― Spencer Chow, Friday, 27 April 2012 22:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
I am going to play these so loud.
― Spencer Chow, Friday, 27 April 2012 22:13 (1 year ago) Permalink
hmmm so only 2 of these correlate with those 3 songs that leaked a while back, interesting!
― zappi, Friday, 27 April 2012 22:15 (1 year ago) Permalink
hmmm. don't like How Do You Do It at all.

thanks, spencer. just pre-ordered.
― BringTheAuBonPain, Friday, 27 April 2012 23:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
No problem. You might want to check US Amazon.com two days before it ships from the UK to see if the price has gone down here - though I doubt it will.

Oh man, the end of Angel is so
<3
― Mad God 40/40 (Z S), Saturday, 28 April 2012 01:21 (1 year ago) Permalink
why do i feel like the new mix of "angel/bilinda song" is minutely, but noticeably enough, slower?
― kelpolaris, Saturday, 28 April 2012 06:35 (1 year ago) Permalink
If it is slower, then it's entirely possible that during the original mastering somebody asked for it to be speeded up slightly, it might not have been written down in the mastering notes and/or Shields forgot during the remastering process.
― Dick Move's Wardrobe (MaresNest), Saturday, 28 April 2012 07:58 (1 year ago) Permalink
I guess it was a bit of a rush to get these remasters out, so it would be easy for something like that to be missed.
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 28 April 2012 09:08 (1 year ago) Permalink
yeah, can everyone ease off and give kevin shields a little more time to work on these? everything is so rushed these last 20 years!
― Mad God 40/40 (Z S), Saturday, 28 April 2012 15:33 (1 year ago) Permalink
has antyone got a copy of the new remasters? are they different from those 'remasters' that are all over torrent sites etc from 2008?
― piscesx, Saturday, 28 April 2012 15:36 (1 year ago) Permalink
Those amazon.co.uk prices are really cheap. The whole lot with shipping converts to $45.10, whereas the EPs in US Amazon alone are $28. I wonder if that's for a limited time.
― Fastnbulbous, Saturday, 28 April 2012 16:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
so what is up with the second disc of loveless just being loveless again?
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Saturday, 28 April 2012 16:57 (1 year ago) Permalink
the 2nd disc is remastered from the analog tapes or something.you can never have too many copies of loveless.
― BringTheAuBonPain, Saturday, 28 April 2012 18:06 (1 year ago) Permalink
the first was loveless as you remember, the second was meant for kevin's chinchillas
― kelpolaris, Saturday, 28 April 2012 18:38 (1 year ago) Permalink
so I'm assuming if you play them both at the same time, the waveforms that are inverted cancel each other out and all that remains is the mysterious third album.
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Saturday, 28 April 2012 19:52 (1 year ago) Permalink
No, it's actually me going "Ah, hello, I'd like to talk to you about a very, very special album close to my heart. You might know it. It's called Loveless. First, let me set the scene." And so on for fifty minutes.

yes! it's back to them playing guitars like on the second side of isn't anything, only a step further along, with some of the sweetness they were drifting towards on tremolo, &c. it could go on forever
