Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 9 February 2004 18:25 (twenty years ago) link

grrr!!! i wish people would stop reporting this as news!! wishful thinking doesn't make it so!!!

the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 9 February 2004 22:06 (twenty years ago) link

Uncut has a feature on MBV this month, and says box set out in like May 2004.

Enrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 09:43 (twenty years ago) link

i'm not even a big fan, but i'm excited about this.

Dave M. (rotten03), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 09:56 (twenty years ago) link

i'm excited for all those people, unlike me, that are excited.

mentalist (mentalist), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 12:40 (twenty years ago) link

So if all the people that are not excited, are excited...

That means everybody is excited.

Out of curiosity, who here will buy the boxsets, and will you buy both?

I'll say yes to both (and apologise to my wallet).

Jedmond, Tuesday, 10 February 2004 12:49 (twenty years ago) link

''LIVE 1987-92 (new quadruple-CD)''

I would buy one boxset just to hear this. All of my fave psych bands have fucking great live CDs and we really need one from them.

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 13:07 (twenty years ago) link

Out of curiosity, who here will buy the boxsets, and will you buy both?

My answer is implicit.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 14:01 (twenty years ago) link

I would buy both. i've only heard other people's tapes of the live loveless era and it would be nice to have that stuff.(i don't count the almost unlistenable/unwatchable bootleg video i bought on ebay. yeesh.)

scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 14:20 (twenty years ago) link

Does anyone else find it completely maddening that the release date is estimated as "late 2005/early 2006 to be optimistic at best?" This is simply way too much time for whatever to happen that prevents this from ever actually seeing the light of day. I'll believe it when I see/hear it. Otherwise, I can't get excited about it.

rainman (rainman), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 15:05 (twenty years ago) link

had i the firstborn child to sell money at the time, i'd probably buy both.

janni (janni), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 15:15 (twenty years ago) link

I never doubted you Ned.

Jedmond, Tuesday, 10 February 2004 15:23 (twenty years ago) link

i've only heard loveless but i've always wanted to hear more,so if i had the money when they came out i would definitely buy them

robin (robin), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 17:44 (twenty years ago) link

had i the firstborn child to sell

Well, you've still got plenty of time to conceive and give birth, so you're set!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 17:45 (twenty years ago) link

well, since i have no desire whatsoever to have a child at all, that's unfortunately unlikely to happen.

unless you'd like to carry my firstborn for me? c'mon, Ned---it's all for MBV, after all~~! ;)

janni (janni), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 18:06 (twenty years ago) link

FOR THE GOOD OF THE MUSICAL WORLD! I want to have babies.

thank goodness for that, then!

Coming Soon to an ILM Near You! SMFKS!

(Surrogate Mums for Kevin Shields)

what'll you do if those boxes don't come out, though? who else is worth that sort of pain...?

janni (janni), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 18:46 (twenty years ago) link

haha "release date late 2012/early 2106"

amateur!st (amateurist), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 20:13 (twenty years ago) link

Stop being so naive amateur!st, although I admire your confidence.

Does anyone else find it completely maddening that the release date is estimated as "late 2005/early 2006 to be optimistic at best?"

what's maddening is that people are still believing this obvious hoax of a tracklisting.

the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 22:53 (twenty years ago) link

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:35 (twenty years ago) link

And this is actually real, is it? Hmm...

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:37 (twenty years ago) link

There are four(!) never released tracks on that second disc. Also, I'm wondering who did the remastering.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:39 (twenty years ago) link

A long version of "Glider" = I am a happy, happy man.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:45 (twenty years ago) link

I'm wondering if it's the same version that backs the 12" single of the Andrew Weatherall mix of "Soon"

Also, I'm thinking it's real because I've never even heard those four unreleased track names. I'll post the cover art here as soon as I see it.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:46 (twenty years ago) link

That first disc would basically be the best MBV album ever.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:51 (twenty years ago) link

Hell yeah. I'm all over this.

adam (adam), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 18:54 (twenty years ago) link

I'm wondering if it's the same version that backs the 12" single of the Andrew Weatherall mix of "Soon"

That's what I thought...and I hope it isn't, actually.

That first disc would basically be the best MBV album ever.

Both the version I made and the one you made make for good listening. :-)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 19:02 (twenty years ago) link

"Drive It All Over Me" is their most accessible song. I play that for anyone I've ever wanted to 'convert' and they invariably ask "who is this?"

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 19:06 (twenty years ago) link

bump. this is HUGE news!

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 21:23 (twenty years ago) link

Whys it cost 40$? WTF?

christhamrin (christhamrin), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 21:34 (twenty years ago) link

Japanese imports are always expensive like that.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 21:37 (twenty years ago) link

They're usually worth it though. They always seem to be more nicely put together in terms of packaging and extras than other cds.

El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 21:38 (twenty years ago) link

OW OW OW, I was all set to actually go through with this order until they tried to charge me ??2,300 for shipping. That's just outrageous.

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 21:39 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe we should pool our resources and get them to ship multiple copies over in a single box, if the shipping would be any cheaper!

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 21:41 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, it just occurred to me that if they stay true to form as with other Japanese releases, they will have attempted lyric transcriptions with this collection. It will be worth the $40 alone.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 21:42 (twenty years ago) link

That might work.

x-post

El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 21:43 (twenty years ago) link

Ned is OTM on that last point

i've ordered from HMV Japan before, the packaging is outrageously excessive and probably accounts for a fair chunk of the huge postage cost. my $25 CD was $62 by the end of it. it may be worth waiting for (a) the UK/US release or (b) til multiple copies start turning up on eBay (and they will)..

the surface noise (electricsound), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 22:09 (twenty years ago) link

the shipping costs nearly made me cancel it, but i went through with it anyway... a lot of the stuff i only have on mp3, collecting all the individual ep's would've been much cheaper, i figured.

can't wait to see it!

willem (willem), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 22:11 (twenty years ago) link

you'll get it quickly - they send it by FedEx.

the surface noise (electricsound), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 22:13 (twenty years ago) link

erm, that should've read: collecting all the individual ep's would've been much more expensive...

jim - expected delivery date: march 22!

willem (willem), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 22:21 (twenty years ago) link

I emailed a couple of people at my favorite import stores and will let you know what they say about getting copies here.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 23:04 (twenty years ago) link

We will get this.

We WILL get this.

It's all taken care of.

donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 23:13 (twenty years ago) link

db is an enigma!

also, can't Momus call Sofia Coppola and get her to ask Hiromix to send us a case of these or something?

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 23:18 (twenty years ago) link

HMV list price = 3000 Yen + 5% tax = 3150 Yen = ~ $29 US

HMV has horrible shipping options, amazon japan is much better, i imagine you could get this for about $38 in about 2 weeks delivery time to the west coast of the USA.

gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:00 (twenty years ago) link

Not bad. When I get a job secured I will make the transaction. I need fancy box sets.

christhamrin (christhamrin), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:06 (twenty years ago) link

I think it's just a double CD btw. Also, Amazon.co.jp is not listing it yet.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:08 (twenty years ago) link

following up from Spencer's question ... has anybody heard anything about the remastering? I'd assume that Kevin wouldn't let anybody else near the tapes ...

Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 18 March 2004 00:13 (twenty years ago) link

maybe 8 years ago or more

electricsound, Friday, 8 June 2007 09:29 (sixteen years ago) link

13 years ago, more like.

baaderonixx, Friday, 8 June 2007 09:35 (sixteen years ago) link

"or more"

electricsound, Friday, 8 June 2007 09:41 (sixteen years ago) link

What happened to her anyway? I remember seeing Mazzy Star around 2000, they only played new songs, but nothing ever came out.

baaderonixx, Friday, 8 June 2007 09:45 (sixteen years ago) link

Please stop teasing me with this thread!! Gah!!

leavethecapital, Friday, 8 June 2007 10:42 (sixteen years ago) link

There was mention of the record label back catalogue person working on MBV material in Rercord Collector last/this month (the one with The WHO on the cover). It was in an article about the reissue market. No details, but sounded pretty legit.

PJ Miller, Friday, 8 June 2007 12:26 (sixteen years ago) link

MBV box set like MBV nother album. yeah, in my dreams.

Masonic Boom, Friday, 8 June 2007 12:48 (sixteen years ago) link

miracles do happen people

What happened to her anyway? I remember seeing Mazzy Star around 2000, they only played new songs, but nothing ever came out.

Her solo album came out the following year and since then nothing except the occasional guest vocals. Last I heard, she sings on one track on the new Massive Attack album.

Elvis Telecom, Friday, 8 June 2007 14:42 (sixteen years ago) link

i get the feeling she's in semi-retirement, it's not like she needs to work with fade into you still being used in every movie soundtrack every; there might be a bit of a perfectionist streak as well. I did see her after the solo album came out (live) and it was an excellent show but they spent so much time getting the sound set up before they played that the wait was ridiculous (something like an hour and a half).
