― Karen Tregaskin, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 11:18 (fourteen years ago) link
anyway i don't believe your loveless = bible ; remaster = kjv analogy anyway
the original was the kjv and this remaster is going to be some terrible modern updating with all the 'thees' and 'thous' taken out and god trying to be down with the kids talking like yr mum trying to be yr homies or something

karen the kjv while beautiful is not a good translation, which I think is the point of the analogy

I'd be curious to know if there any differences between the promo copies I've had since... what, Sep '08? and history mayne's newly-delivered CDs. Did it just take 18 months to write the sleeve notes or was there further tweaking to be done?
― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 11:44 (fourteen years ago) link
hmm. i get the impression that there's been more tweaking since then, but you'll have to send me the promos so i can make the comparison.

shieldsy spending 18 months 'tweaking'?
never!
― Karen Tregaskin, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 11:52 (fourteen years ago) link
No, YOU'LL have to send me YOUR copies. I'm not falling for that old trick, Mr So-Called history mayne.

(Anyway - still the two versions, one from DAT, one from analogue multi-track?)
― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 11:53 (fourteen years ago) link
three versions!

Yeah, my minidisc version! xpost
(This is true, btw)
― Mark G, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 12:06 (fourteen years ago) link
(that day was June 22nd, Mike. and S had probably had them a while by then. search tag's photos for International Colouring Contest)
amazon was listing the md version until quite recently (probably less than 18 months ago). actually, their minidisc list is quite long and there are bargains to be had, some of them quite odd choices (Smashing Orange anyone? Godzilla soundtrack? several Clash compilations, some Bjork)

ha hathere's a my bloody valentine forum, and when it opened someone kept posting jokes like, kevin shields' wife is pregnant! the baby will be born in eight years.
i would actually be intrigued by any footnotes for this, whether or not they're a legitimate justification for the wait.
― high-five machine (schlump), Tuesday, 5 January 2010 14:25 (fourteen years ago) link
I see a bunch of the ones I have are on that list.

wait, does that imply he's working on a Memory Stick version as well? will that be a different mix again?
― koogs, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 20:20 (fourteen years ago) link
iirc the delays are down to Kev writing his own audio codec so that none of the remastered nuances are lost on the Memory Stick release.
― Bill A, Tuesday, 5 January 2010 20:52 (fourteen years ago) link
This title will be released on March 8, 2010.Pre-order now!
It actually now feels like he doesn't want any fans to be happy ever again.

The one that was floating around last year is hilarious. The two "versions" are indistinguishable.
― fields of salmon, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 15:37 (fourteen years ago) link
I wonder if there is a psychiatric term for this kind of neverending procrastination? Because it seems like the actual remastering process was done and dusted many, many months (if not years) ago, so the *only* thing now holding this up is the sleevenotes? It's like Kev keeps missing the deadline for his essay and is giving his indulgent tutor more and more excuses (except no excuses are actually being given, other than the eternal "getting it right" nonsense).
And all this for fucking REMASTERS! God forbid they should actually attempt to release some new material in the next decade. Maybe they are all rich enough (which I doubt), but surely Colm, Deb and Bilinda would not mind seeing a little £££ from these things actually going on sale?
I've gone all the way from excitement, to amusement, to dismissal, back to amusement and now pissed offness over this. What a shambles.

It's still nothing compared to the gap between the Kraftwerk remasters box set promos and the eventual release.
― Mark G, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 16:03 (fourteen years ago) link
I wonder how much Deb makes from sales of Loveless.
― fields of salmon, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 16:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Hope she still gets something fair.

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.
