Lilys reissues?

I agree the production on Precollection foils some of the otherwise-would-have-been-great songs.

The Lilys bootleg page has a section at the bottom listing various live videos. Anybody know how to get hands on those?

Wish this would finally happen someday. Talking of course about the records in the OP...

Here's looking at you Numero or Captured Tracks... somebody will take this on eventually right?

is there any lilys currently in print?

I don't think so, no.

"LILYS’ etheric second full-length album, Eccsame The Photon Band, has become a shoegaze collector’s favorite. Out of print for twenty years, the highly sought-after, rare first-edition vinyl is nearly impossible to come by. This 21st anniversary re-release includes original artwork and has an enhanced dynamic range with the re-ordering of songs. “The Hermit Crab” has been moved and now begins side two, allowing for a deeper cut of side one and therefore increased audio fidelity, creating a more exciting listening experience than previously available. Eccsame The Photon Band has been described as “one of the LILYS‘ best,” “a hallucinatory revelation” and “a masterpiece of mood, atmosphere and production.”"

good news and totally gift-horsing but it's a bit weird to be extolling the virtues of a deeper cut when it's still a 51 minute album on one LP

I love this record but it'd be much improved if they removed the stupid incidental tracks

You don't love pees?

Saw them this past Sunday. The show was AMAZING.

XP - Nah I always skip, it spoils the funny, faraway mood of the record.

awesome! I wonder when the ILD release will be available since the pre-order disc with magic healing powers has already sold out...

Wow I glazed over the bit about them reordering tracks. That's going to really screw with me.

Can anyone provide any insight- this is bothering me immensely. Is the "Ice caps melting" song called Radiotricity or Kodiak? I have the CD, and Radiotricity is the song, while Kodiak (Reprise) is a prior interlude track featuring a sad little horn line and guitar. Discogs corroborates this.

However, the upload on youtube calls the song "Kodiak". No big deal, right? Well, a photo of the band's on-stage set list also shows it labelled Kodiak. I just want to know what's what.

actually yeah, looking at the album - the skit tracks and the 90s standard-issue-CD-silence add up to 10 minutes of that time

i guess if they're going to keep that sleeve image, warts n all...

I see this is also 10/30 on amazon

friiiiddaaaaaaay

this appears to have been delayed or something on amazon

Hmm, I got my download today. Assuming the record is shipping soon. I ordered it directly from the label.

yeah, it says it's coming wednesday now instead of today on amazon. It might just be an amazon thing. I just hope it comes, since it appears to have sold out in pre-order.

it has arrived. on 'hermit crab' and sounding great!

Check it out!

Man, it took me a while but that Eccsame reissue sounds so good, it's really brought into focus how amazing the record is.

Absolutely!
