Now on their official page as "Monday 7th May".
It doesn't state a particualar year.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 22 March 2012 14:59 (twelve years ago) link
Did we get any confirmation as to whether those previes Loveless copies that lucky press-types got were really remastered? That's some shameless shit if they were and they're just being sat on.

okay, promos for these just flipped through my letterbox, perhaps they're definitely gonna get a release now?

What with all the facebook messages and stuff, this time it's fo' real fo' sho? I pre-ordered them last week anyway. Fully confident they'll arrive early May.
― willem, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 11:09 (twelve years ago) link
did the earlier promos of loveless include both remaster and 'mastered from 1/2 inch analog tapes' version? i can't remember. that's what's been sent out now.
― Nascar Pony (stevie), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 11:11 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah it had both versions - my review from when it wasn't released a few years ago is still online: http://www.uncut.co.uk/my-bloody-valentine/my-bloody-valentine-reissues-special-isnt-anythinglovelessthe-coral-sea-review

desperate for new headphones as i listened the leaked FLACS (plural capitalized?) via my koss portapros and.... frankly couldn't tell the difference
― kelpolaris, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 14:51 (twelve years ago) link
If you can't tell on portapros, you wont be able to tell on <£100 headphones.
and if you need better headphones fto tell the difference, then you are into serious snake oil territory.
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 17:51 (twelve years ago) link
The leaked loveless flacs were a fake as far as I know, they were removed from waht who are good at moderating these things, but the very good sounding Isn't Anything remasters are still there.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 22:31 (twelve years ago) link
i remember someone saying the leaked remasters were EQ'ed vinyl rips.could be wrong though.

Loveless: Remastered: 2cd CD £9.00 Free Delivery
Release date: 07-05-2012
― Mark G, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 10:19 (twelve years ago) link
I've got a £50 bet with my gf that the remasters won't come out this year.
― give me back my 200 dollars (NotEnough), Tuesday, 24 April 2012 10:35 (twelve years ago) link
Well they haven't changed it yet, but I'd only be interested in a vinyl rip anyway, and that's not on the cards at the moment.
There's a bit of a Loveless bubble going on at the moment. Sold my slightly worn original vinyl version a couple of years ago for £20, anticipating the remaster, but now they seem to go for £60+ on Discogs. I even managed to get a tenner for my pretty scratched Creation-era repress CD last year as well. Bizarre.

Vinyl *press*
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 10:51 (twelve years ago) link
My vinyl on Plain looks like it's been going for around £40 on ebay - very odd. One went for £150! I don't understand.

Have any popular beat combos been mentioning Loveless as an influence again?
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 11:06 (twelve years ago) link
Pretty sure the Loveless LP is the official currency on the Isle of Man now.

there is a full page advert in the latest mojo for the 3 cds which suggests that this is actually going to happen.
could be time to wave ta ra to your £50 notenough.

Confused about US releases - Amazon's listing an import for like $68, released June 5th. I can't imagine there aren't plans to release these in the States.
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 16:33 (twelve years ago) link
OK, well you can listen to the track previews on Amazon now it seems. You can't tell much from the low bitrates on Loveless, but there are clips of the unreleased tracks on the EP:

What are the last four tracks on disc 2 originally from?
― Evan, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
3 are "new", sugar was on a 7" with something?
http://spoiledmetropolis.blogspot.co.uk/2007/06/mbv-sugar-mp3.html says:
"Sugar" is an outtake from the Glider ep sessions. Its only official appearance was on a free cd given away with French magazine "Les Inrockuptibles" in 1991.
― koogs, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 19:06 (twelve years ago) link
"new"... unreleased then? Neato, Angel sounds nice, found it in full no youtube
― Evan, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
I have "Sugar" it came on a flexidisc with "The Catalogue" magazine

Loveless needs to be remixed, not remastered. Vocals need to be mixed way higher.
― The GeirBot (Geir Hongro), Saturday, 28 April 2012 10:04 (eleven years ago) link
you might try the analogue version.
Or the 'japancakes' cover
― Mark G, Saturday, 28 April 2012 11:41 (eleven years ago) link
Or a different band
― Jamie_ATP, Saturday, 28 April 2012 12:13 (eleven years ago) link
A remix would be good, but I'd keep the vocals the same, just give the rhythm section more beef.

listening now
no better way to judge a remastering job than listening to an audio stream on my work computer!

funny that shields is so down on that plain records vinyl release from way back when -- i had a friend who raved about how awesome it sounded.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
Plain got a shit-storm of criticism on the Spiritualized boards about their handling of recent vinyl reissues of the first 3 Spz albums since their m.o. is to just take an off-the-shelf CD and use that for a master. I would avoid anything that company releases.
― Reality Check Cashing Services (Elvis Telecom), Thursday, 3 May 2012 01:00 (eleven years ago) link
Shields says not only did they use a commercial CD as the master, that it was also functionally a bootleg, to the degree he was able to get it blocked from sale in the UK

I take it all back about them never existing. Half expecting the CDs to be mis-printed with audiobooks of Harry Potter, though.

No, disappointingly low on printed word inserts though. Just some photographic stuff on the e.ps , not sure what came in Loveless. Might have hoped for some commentary from band members as you get on other reissues but maybe MBV weren't like that. An explanation as to why there were 2 different versions of Loveless might have been interesting. Like you can find that online now but when these are discovered by the next generation or dug up as relics of our civilisation people won't find that referencing so easy.
