Loveless Remaster Actually Sound Better?

Supposed to actually be out today!

Now HMV has it as 6th April.

bye.

>The real remasters are never fucking coming out anyway.

OTM! This from Pfork's original news story:

"As initially reported on Wired's Blog Network and now confirmed by a Sony BMG UK rep, the only two MBV albums that matter (This Is Your Bloody Valentine was practically an EP anyway) will hit UK shops June 16 in newly remastered formats."

so that was June 16 last year and the delay has been because Shields has been writing the liner notes? Or cleaning chinchilla cages?

writing the liner notes.

They'd better be damn good!

it's also April 6th on Amazon : so is this really a remastered version ?

Ok so how does the limited edition red vinyl "remaster" released last year fit in? To my ears it sounded much better than my old CD.

Each month Amazon bumps the release date back to the next month. These are NEVER being released.

It's a race to see which comes out first, this or the next MBV album.

Yep, Chinese Democracy...

Actually, soon it'll be time for another Loveless reissue-- mastering technology has changed since these were announced. So let's hold out for the 20th Ann. set.

what has changed about "remastering technology"?

Now HMV has it as 6th April. 1st June.

Shields: "I bet I can get in the news a lot just by talking about remastering those albums"
man at pub: "fuck off, that was all a long time ago, nobody even remembers your band"
Shields: "five pounds says I can get headlines"
man at pub: "it's a bet!"

--

Shields: "I guess I'll be collecting my five pounds from you tonight!"
man at pub: "oh do fuck off, those are headlines on a fucking website, nobody else reported it or even knows who you are"
Shields: "five more says I can do it again with the exact same piece of news in four months"
man at pub: "that's a bet right there my friend, website or no"

--

man at pub: "change a twenty?"
Shields: "oh don't look so glum. want to double that? I could always talk about b-sides"
man at pub: "LYSOL DOUCHE"

I've said it before, I'll say it again; they do not exist.

Oh yes they do.

Lies!

you think he's just bullshitting everyone about having worked on remastering at least some of this stuff?
in other news, I saw MBV last night. Glorious.

did they play the remastered versions?

there was a lot of defraction & thermal runaway in the signal chain

MBV definitely emerged victorious in the Loudness Wars last night.

Now HMV has it as 6th April. 1st June. 6th July, for LP and CD formats.

Never happening.

These will come out right after Chinese Democracy shit, Neil Young's Archives shit, well... never.

you meant 'before' there, but hey...

Yes, cold medicine addled brain screwed that all up. Point made, I think.

yeah now that the beatles remasters are actually coming out, these remain the only long-anticipated holdouts, I think.

Well, apart from the Desparate Bicycles anthology...

and the dolly mixture anthology!

Derrick May will have made a new tune by the time these remasters arrive.

ooh, hasn't changed for 2 weeks!

It doesn't exist.

It's there for people who are awaiting new material to get told "Pssh, how long has it taken them to do a RE-RELEASE???"

I've downloaded the 2 CD loveless "resmaster"... I've only listened to each version once but so far I can't tell the difference between them and the old CD version I have...

Yeah I wonder what it was that I downloaded.

Never Happening.

hang on....

The “Isn't Anything” remaster I downloaded sounded really really good - even if it’s not legit it’s a huge improvement over the original CD version.

Would be nice if the Loveless one came out one day though.

Maybe they are waiting to combine it with "Rock Band: My Bloody Valentine Edition", but I'm going to have to plagiarise my own post from the other MBV thread:

How you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on? Huh? Gotta a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Gotta, gotta nice little story you're working on there? Your big novel you've been working on for 3 years? Huh? Gotta, gotta compelling protagonist? Yeah? Gotta obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Gotta story brewing there? Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? (voice getting higher pitched) Yea, talking about that 3 years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah? (voice returns to normal) No, no, you deserve some time off.

HAHA. Don't usually rate Family Guy - but that scene is so OTM.

Loveless: Remastered: 2cd

pre order now

So, the date is holding (for now?)

It won't be that long until it's out of copyright!

Never gonna happen.

Hello Never gonna happen post, once again you meet with Release date post..

Those liner notes don't write themselves you know!

I did see someone selling his "Isn't Anything" 2009 promo on e-bay.

It looked legit, fwiw...

the 'leaks' of these that were out were faked, no?

copies (of the loveless cds) have been sent out to journalists (minus artwork and those all-important sleevenotes*). this was summer 2008. i have seen them, but not heard them.

* really, who cares? release the cds, put the notes on a website when they're done.

The Loveless one was definitely a fake - and sounded it.

The Isn't Anything leak was probably the real thing, and sounds much better than the original CD master.
