Shields: "I bet I can get in the news a lot just by talking about remastering those albums"
man at pub: "fuck off, that was all a long time ago, nobody even remembers your band"
Shields: "five pounds says I can get headlines"
man at pub: "it's a bet!"

--

Shields: "I guess I'll be collecting my five pounds from you tonight!"
man at pub: "oh do fuck off, those are headlines on a fucking website, nobody else reported it or even knows who you are"
Shields: "five more says I can do it again with the exact same piece of news in four months"
man at pub: "that's a bet right there my friend, website or no"

--

man at pub: "change a twenty?"
Shields: "oh don't look so glum. want to double that? I could always talk about b-sides"
man at pub: "LYSOL DOUCHE"

I've said it before, I'll say it again; they do not exist.

Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Saturday, 25 April 2009 09:15 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh yes they do.

Michael Jones, Saturday, 25 April 2009 11:11 (fourteen years ago) link

Lies!

Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Saturday, 25 April 2009 14:17 (fourteen years ago) link

you think he's just bullshitting everyone about having worked on remastering at least some of this stuff?
in other news, I saw MBV last night. Glorious.

tylerw, Saturday, 25 April 2009 16:20 (fourteen years ago) link

did they play the remastered versions?

Dr. Phil, Saturday, 25 April 2009 16:28 (fourteen years ago) link

there was a lot of defraction & thermal runaway in the signal chain

MBV definitely emerged victorious in the Loudness Wars last night.

you meant 'before' there, but hey...

Mark G, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 15:17 (fourteen years ago) link

Yes, cold medicine addled brain screwed that all up. Point made, I think.

yeah now that the beatles remasters are actually coming out, these remain the only long-anticipated holdouts, I think.

akm, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 15:51 (fourteen years ago) link

Well, apart from the Desparate Bicycles anthology...

Mark G, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 15:52 (fourteen years ago) link

and the dolly mixture anthology!

Derrick May will have made a new tune by the time these remasters arrive.

It doesn't exist.

Sickamous (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 9 September 2009 14:21 (fourteen years ago) link

It's there for people who are awaiting new material to get told "Pssh, how long has it taken them to do a RE-RELEASE???"

Mark G, Wednesday, 9 September 2009 14:24 (fourteen years ago) link

I've downloaded the 2 CD loveless "resmaster"... I've only listened to each version once but so far I can't tell the difference between them and the old CD version I have...

Yeah I wonder what it was that I downloaded.

Never Happening.

Mark G, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 08:41 (fourteen years ago) link

hang on....

Mark G, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 08:42 (fourteen years ago) link

The “Isn't Anything” remaster I downloaded sounded really really good - even if it’s not legit it’s a huge improvement over the original CD version.

Would be nice if the Loveless one came out one day though.

Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 09:13 (fourteen years ago) link

Maybe they are waiting to combine it with "Rock Band: My Bloody Valentine Edition", but I'm going to have to plagiarise my own post from the other MBV thread:

How you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on? Huh? Gotta a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Gotta, gotta nice little story you're working on there? Your big novel you've been working on for 3 years? Huh? Gotta, gotta compelling protagonist? Yeah? Gotta obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Gotta story brewing there? Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? (voice getting higher pitched) Yea, talking about that 3 years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah? (voice returns to normal) No, no, you deserve some time off.

HAHA. Don't usually rate Family Guy - but that scene is so OTM.

So, the date is holding (for now?)

It won't be that long until it's out of copyright!

Never gonna happen.

Hello Never gonna happen post, once again you meet with Release date post..

Mark G, Thursday, 29 October 2009 12:19 (fourteen years ago) link

Those liner notes don't write themselves you know!

Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 29 October 2009 12:20 (fourteen years ago) link

I did see someone selling his "Isn't Anything" 2009 promo on e-bay.

It looked legit, fwiw...

Mark G, Thursday, 29 October 2009 12:21 (fourteen years ago) link

the 'leaks' of these that were out were faked, no?

akm, Thursday, 29 October 2009 17:20 (fourteen years ago) link

copies (of the loveless cds) have been sent out to journalists (minus artwork and those all-important sleevenotes*). this was summer 2008. i have seen them, but not heard them.

* really, who cares? release the cds, put the notes on a website when they're done.

koogs, Thursday, 29 October 2009 17:39 (fourteen years ago) link

The Loveless one was definitely a fake - and sounded it.

The Isn't Anything leak was probably the real thing, and sounds much better than the original CD master.

Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 29 October 2009 17:45 (fourteen years ago) link

Wasn't this originally scheduled for 2007? It's highly appropriate that even the reissue is delayed that long, ha ha.

Fastnbulbous, Thursday, 29 October 2009 17:51 (fourteen years ago) link

When this finally comes out on brainchip in 2037 it had goddamn well better include the Weatherall remixes.

Now it's almost within reach!

Mark G, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 12:03 (fourteen years ago) link

Nice to see this thread is now the top result for "loveless remaster" on google. Without quotes it's still second, just behind Amazon uk and that tantalising (never gonna happen) date.

Bill A, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 13:04 (fourteen years ago) link

you guys realize that that release date is april fool's day, right? it's also a thursday.

Robert Necrofrost, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 18:27 (fourteen years ago) link

ahh, how the watery divide divides us again: that's 4th January 2010 in Britisher dates.

Prolly be able to rename it Shields's Fools Day though.

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN

exploding angel vagina (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 24 November 2009 18:49 (fourteen years ago) link

I find your lack of faith disturbing. Clearly this is now going to be the late Christmas present that Kev has been promising us for three years. So what if he's keen to make sure the enclosed chinchilla breeders guide booklet is factually accurate?

Bill A, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 18:58 (fourteen years ago) link

Also, in keeping with the recent concerts, he is making sure these CDs are THE LOUDEST OF ALL TIME.

tylerw, Tuesday, 24 November 2009 19:00 (fourteen years ago) link

one month passes...

Looks like Kev wants Christmas to be just a little later, again (from Amazon UK):

This title will be released on January 25, 2010.
Pre-order now!

THIS IS JUST A SAGA NOW.
