The Return Of My Bloody Valentine

When did he record it?

at the height of the Ark Music craze

What a collaboration that would be.

was it featuring Goldie (or Roni Size) ?

They couldn't get them. Had to settle for this guy called gerald. Recorded this song that went you little wonder two, you little wonder.

LOL.

Guy called Gerald would be a much better choice than those two IMO. As a point of order I don’t think he had anything to do with that Bowie stuff, apart from non-album remix.

Just received my cd of this today in the post. Debbie may not have played on the album but she did the sleeve.

So she's allowed to play live just not in the studio?

Hits the strings wrong or something

hahaha

she was great live last night fwiw

I always thought she was the coolest-looking.

Anyone got their vinyl through yet?

Got the CD yesterday too - to this point I held out some vague hope that the hideous artwork would have been given a final once over, but no, seems that Kev had to spend the money on chinchilla kibble which might have otherwise gone toward Deb creating it using something other than MS Paint. The inner sleeve is a *bit* better, but the m b v font is unforgivable.

Lol only seen it online but looks bad

I love that people are hoping it'll get better in high resolution... I think it is only just slightly better than this:

I am in the Unite States and I lack the CD as of yet.

looking at the album sleeve just reminds me of the opacity function in photoshop. like the sleeve is just a signifier that leads me to thinking about it as a concept.

Saying the music is all that matters perhaps

i could write a million pages about the content-resembles-form perfection of the isn't anything sleeve though, which iirc kevin was responsible for cropping/bleaching out, &c.

Vinyl arrived this morning, sleeve looks better IRL

Where are you folks who are getting the physical releases at geographically?

UK

Mine arrived this morning, too.

got the CD 2 days ago (in France).

Think they tried to deliver my CD today but I was out.

Nothing here yet

when you look at the cover on a laptop, and push the screen forward and backwards the text appears/disappears along with a phaser-esque sound (which are featured on some tracks) as a result of moving the laptop forward/backwards.

made me appreciate the cover a lot more. i was kind of high though.

vinyle just showed up, very nice, mbv01 on the spine, the cd isn't a cd-r lol

My CD showed up yesterday (Canada).

Differences between the CD they sent and mine:

1) Theirs is a shiny sleeve, with a booklet
2) mine is a matt sleeve, no booklet but Track listing on the sleeve and the label.

Apart from that, difficult to tell them apart.

(How can you tell it's not a cd-r btw?)

(mine is the one I made, see higher up this thread for pic)

Got my vinyl this morning (haven't listened to it yet)

Vinyl came today, but instead of posty leaving it with my neighbour, I've got to trek across town and pick it up from the post office.

got the cd today. no vinyl yet.

got a record-shaped box today with a piece of paper in it that reads 'mbv' and nothing else.

I heard...a sound.

got the cd today. no vinyl yet.

they're shipping the cd and vinyl separately? aw maaaaan. really don't care about the CD.

oh to be clear i wound up ordering both a cd and the vinyl separately because i couldn't decide which one i wanted. then later i realized i had read too fast and missed that the vinyl included a cd.

Cd only people: Proper cd box, or mini-lp sleeve?

Exactly the same size card case as last year's reissues, in a gatefold. Booklet with credits inserted on one side, cd in smaller card sleeve on the other.

Ah right, I think we got the 'inner' sleeve and a different booklet (no credits)

What do we mean by credits exactly? Cuz mine only lists the line up and photo credits

the cd booklet for this is an exceptionally unexciting item, not sure why they bothered at all

Potential for some zingers there!

What like a kentucky fried chicken burger?

MBV album arrived. Shitty packaging though.Nice big record mailer not the shitty envelope style. but no padding inside. no cardboard no paper no bubble wrap nothing. the record was loose and rattling around inside, amazed there was no dinged corners.

sorry if stupid question, but when will this album be in stores (in the USA)?

got my CD yesterday, now kind of wishing I'd ordered the vinyl

CAD, do you still have your extra CD? I might buy it off of you for a friend

a CD for a friend - take that trade CAD! that friend could be awesome!

i do have it--will let you know if i feel like getting rid of it once the vinyl arrives.
