My Bloody Valentine

All right, that pity party album uh wait

relistening to isn’t anything, loveless, the eps comp, and m b v a lot lately, remembering this is the best band ever

Didn't everything just get reissued a couple years ago, including EPs collection? Or have I just completely lost track of time?

try almost ten years ago! May 2012

loveless & isn't anything got a new vinyl remaster in 2018 too

there is someone on the mbv reddit who a few days ago correctly predicted that there'd be something today and is now saying they've heard new material is coming august/september in addition to whatever re-releases are coming on wednesday. don't want to get my hopes up too much though lol

lmao if another new my bloody valentine album comes out before the wrens album

Well the Avalanches started releasing records at a faster pace so maybe Kevin's all "Oh yeah, should start doing more here."

loveless & isn't anything got a new vinyl remaster in 2018 too

Yeah, but them shits is long goooone.

I remember back in the day that Kev made noises about the CDs being the most accurate rendition of Loveless, refused to send promos on cassette I think. I believe the unique thing about the 2018 vinyl was that they reassembled the track segues from the original analogue elements because it’d all been done in the digital domain originally.

Nice to see that Kevin, on top of a load of cables on his vast and beautiful mixing console, has the same cheapo Tandy SPL meter that I've had for the last 25 years :)

This has made me look up SPL meter. So I've almost learned something, though oddly I can't see one in the video above.

Looking forward to whatever is coming, but dear god Kevin sort out the barnet mate.

though oddly I can't see one in the video above

Between 0:46 and 0:48, bottom right-hand corner, during one of the annoying "filmed on Super-8 in the '70s" filtered segments. Just jumped out at me.

That's the precision we need.

He is the mirror to my Dorian Gray. (Maybe.)

The 2018 vinyl reissues of both albums are stupendous, they sound completely amazing and the sleeves are really nice too. It's a shame they are out of print and go for so much money second hand. It would be nice if they gave mbv the same treatment since that sleeve is shit.

What's Michael Imperioli up to?

No idea. (Already linked upthread, btw.)

I'd just like to get a good copy of Isn't Anything on vinyl and not have to pay more than $30 for it. Why is that so much to ask

the CD reissue if isn’t anything sounded excellent if anyone cares

sounded... i believe it still sounds excellent

Relistening to mbv now for the first time in a while...I think I like it a lot more now than I did when it came out. In 2013 it felt kind of disappointing, but almost anything they released would have seemed that way in comparison to Loveless. I wanted it to be another collection of melted power-pop tunes like Loveless, and instead it's a collection of experiments in repetition and mood. I appreciate what it's doing a lot more, these days.

The man is beginning to physically resemble Brian May!

m b v was solid as hell. you guys are crazy.

dunno what's coming, but i'd be stoked even for just an ep. three or four new valentines jams for the summer? count me in.

alternately if this is just an announcement of reissued material, that's going to be fairly underwhelming.

m b v was always another masterpiece

hell yeah, so great

I love how the album kind of self destructs towards the end in the midst of its own massive sonic storm

I'm now wondering if this announcement will tie in with RSD

there's definitely a new album, the real news here is that the logistics & protocols for big tours for acts with older fan bases are lining back up. which is good!

acts with older fan bases

Ouch.

Speak up, sonny.

live bootlegs coming too? redditor found placeholder pages that reference specific shows

Did anyone buy it on vinyl? Was the pressing good?

the pressing was ok. unfortunately, by the time it arrived at my doorstep, the cover/gatefold had tears and rips in two different places

Both of the copies i swiped from urban outfitters had this issue. Everyone i know who bought it reported this also.

I keep mistaking him for Brian May these days.

Ha!! It's undeniable

website is updated now, seems like it's just reissues as expected. not new remasters or new material or anything

give me an EPs double LP you cowards

mbv disbanded, reissuing loveless in original CD form, raffle for mailing list, coupons to follow

https://www.dominomusic.com/news/uk/my-bloody-valentine-sign-to-domino-announce-full-catalogue-reissue

ah there are actually some new remasters - the standard edition vinyls are "mastered from new hi-res uncompressed digital sources". sounds like the deluxe vinyls are the same as the 2018 analogue remasters though and all the digital releases are the same as 2012.

is this the kind of "full catalogue reissue" where their full catalogue is not, in fact, reissued?

it's their full catalogue as much as they haven't really acknowledged the existence of anything before "you made me realise" for over 30 years now and i didn't really expect them to start now

the vinyl reissues are going fast, I've picked up a standard Loveless and the deluxe Isn't Anything, and the EPs/Rarities thing which comes in a fancy CD case apparently.

Ordered the deluxe Isn't Anything and Loveless. Got the Plain Recordings reissue 15 years ago and have a og Loveless cd. The former looks gorgeous but is supposedly sourced from cd masters so decided to go for these new reissues. Got the m b v vinyl when it came out and though I agree the quality of the cover isn't much (mine arrived in great shape though) I figured there's no need to get the new one. The EP/rarities collection is great.

yeah I picked up m b v on vinyl when it came out too, seems fine to me in all respects so no need to get another copy of that

it's their full catalogue as much as they haven't really acknowledged the existence of anything before "you made me realise" for over 30 years now and i didn't really expect them to start now

Two bands with one name.

well ecstasy & strawberry wine are at least the classic line-up and you can hear how they got to the you made me realise EP from those, but anything from before those may have well been a completely different band yeah

Yeah, even with Billinda in, and as you say being able to draw lines to the later work, they clearly haven’t *become* the second band yet.

(Every band after 1994 should have considered following the Beastie Boys’ lead in reissuing their early, developmental work on a compilation called Some Old Bullshit. Just make it as universal a title as Greatest Hits, that signals which kind of listener it’s for.)

is there US distro for these reissues? All I'm finding so far are the mbv site and bleep

nevermind, I'm dumb, accidentally selected "US Outlying Islands" from the dropdown menu which explained the exorbitant shipping charge despite the prices being in USD. All sorted now.

NYT piece I’m too lazy to link to bc I finished reading and closed the tab but they’re recording two new albums, one traditionally MBV-sounding and the other more experimental? okay
