Loveless: Classic or Not That Classic

https://pitchfork.com/features/interview/my-bloody-valentines-kevin-shields-dissects-his-new-loveless-vinyl-remaster-talks-new-album/
Talking to the 54-year-old about Loveless is fascinating because it’s clear that the record is, for him, very much a living thing that exists in the present.
...
Are you working on a new My Bloody Valentine album now?

We started recording it a year ago
...
So you’d like to have it out next year?

Oh, we one hundred percent will.

m b v is the best thing they've ever done. I want to believe the next one will top it.

When it comes to technical stuff Kevin has this way of saying things that sound like they might be bs but are actually entirely the case.

Obviously this principal does not necessarily apply to release schedules.

Though you could have made this new vinyl version a 2xLP set, putting less information on each side and improving the overall quality, you decided to do a single disc. Why?

I wanted it to actually be played the way it was originally conceived, which is basically an A and B side: Loveless is like a mirror image of itself on each side. It works as a continuous thing. That’s where I got a little nuts, but it was one of the things that I got right (initially). The obvious thing to do in this day and age would be to cut it onto two vinyls. That’s something I will do someday, just for the pure sound quality. But from the perspective of listening to it, I didn’t want that to be the only version that people had access to, because it just breaks it up. There are compromises.

very cool

I'd buy that

Got a notification that my records had "shipped" but it was only the label being created and it's not at the post office yet, been like a week

Same here!! I keep checking tracking and USPS is still waiting for it (label created and that's it).

aw bummer, i got my deluxe loveless last week

xpost - well i guess it's somewhat comforting that it's not just me but seriously they've had my money for a long time now it's annoying

30 years of Loveless. i still can't help but wonder how big MBV could have gotten if someone (such as myself) had delivered them a "radio ready" mix and master

are you ready to take your career to the next level and want your mixes to stand up today's pop hits? contact me today pic.twitter.com/aAmMQonJq1

"margaritaville millennial"

sure thing, jerkass.

Uncertain as to whether that's very well pitched niche satire or... well, lols either way.

loveless (magaritaville remaster)

kevin shields:

"collin never had any hand in mastering the album. i remember him making margaritas at some point, and he had these weird ideas about making the album radio friendly, whatever that was supposed to mean, so we completely ignored him, other than the margaritas, which were also not very good".

Going to guess some kevin shields bass would knock that stupid stuff off the top of his eoeakers

Speakers, argh

Margueritas not included.... Oh wait! (on the right)
