The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

You guys know that this is just his pseudonym/fake band, right?

Fwiw the RDS alb is super rad.

Yes, I know. Because it's MBV.

They've aged well.

I think they're just masters of disguise.

That fake looking moustache isn't fooling anyone.

wat

We are very proud to announce the re-mastered versions of Loveless and Isn't Anything are due for release on Monday 7th May.

We will also be releaseing a brand new compilation, EP's 1988-1991, which will include the 4 EP's from that period, plus other rare and previously unreleased tracks. Stay tuned for more.... MBV.

Please note, no year specified.

ooh, 3 unreleased tracks, Angel, Good for You, How Do You Do It (are these the same as those Kevin/Belinda/Cowboy songs from a while back?)

xp lol. also, 'releasing' is spelled wrong so they were obviously hacked.

"Sugar" is so amazing - its the wooziest song ever. glad it will finally see a proper release.

will buy everything

sweet lawd

These will prob be the first legit new CDs I have bought for like a year

EP's

no vinyl

:(

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?

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?

am i right in thinking this must be the only thing NOT on these that came out in the 90s?

also their cover of map ref 41N 93W

does it have the track they did with mark eitzel reading something from that red hot comp?

"Incidental One"

and "Incidental Peace" with Skylab

The Wire cover really really should be on there as well.

I'd like a good copy of "2" while we're asking.

Also the remix of "Soon" is missing

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."

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

Not in my hands - from their Facebook page.

An appropriate cover for the comp there.

those are actually just cd's tho

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.

unreleased tracks are on youtube

I pre-ordered from Amazon.co.uk where they're about £9 + shipping which comes out to about $20/each.

Actually, I just checked and it was only $44.87 for all three shipped to the US.

I am going to play these so loud.

hmmm so only 2 of these correlate with those 3 songs that leaked a while back, interesting!

hmmm. don't like How Do You Do It at all.

thanks, spencer. just pre-ordered.

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

why do i feel like the new mix of "angel/bilinda song" is minutely, but noticeably enough, slower?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vykf4_A9owU

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.

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.
