This needs a U.S. release to at least get on the goddamned calendar.

^ Seriously! I may be wrong, but I don't remember there being a separate US release date for his past couple of records. I'm passed the point of spending 18 dollars for an import album.

yeah really. I want to give this guy my money, but $60 is insane

It sort of bums me out that I keep unintentionally stumbling across the new Paul Weller everywhere, but this damned thing can't even get released over here.

So thanks to Pitchfork I now know this is getting a U.S. release. But not until the end of fucking September.

Thanks Jon. I wouldn't have seen that.

I keep hoping it will maybe at least pop up on iTunes, but nope, probably not until that September release. I really don't see the need for these kind of staggered release dates in 2012.

Just now on FB from Klive Humberstone of In the Nursery:
Just bumped into Edwyn Collins in Town. How bizarre and how lovely. He's in Sheffield to 'jam' with Richard Hawley (hope that's not supposed to be a secret!). Had a brilliant chat.

now deemed to be a "national treasure" over here.

latest one's a bit of disappointment. Pfork unfortunately OTM that it seems like a bit of an over-course correction from the previous record that sounds more like a 90s Oasis/Verve throwback than a step forward. it still has its moments, but the gloss of fuzzy guitars works against the material.

is your verdict based on the vinyl?

nah I broke down and got the MP3s. But my issues are more with the arrangements not the sound/mastering

The sound is as lush and well recorded as ever. I can see and understand people taking issue with the arrangements though. But I really like it: it is a throwback, but all his records are, and I find it really refreshing and exhilarating to heat someone play guitar like that.

it's true all his records are throwbacks, my issue is with the particular period this one harkens back to
