  1. These songs are pretty much identical on Jah and 40 Oz:DJ's Badfish Let's Go Get Stoned New Song Live at E's These songs/versions are not on 40 Oz: Had a Dat Don't Push Ball & Chain Slow Ride Date Rape (version exclusive to Jah) What I wish they would have done was re-compile the 88-91 era songs rather than re-create a Jah release. Leave out any songs/versions that were on the mainstream release of 40 oz, pick out the best stuff. Basically a combination of tracks from Second Hand Smoke and Everything Under The Sun, but much more organized. Something like this... Sublime - The Early Years ('88 to '91) 1. Roots of Creation 2. Perfect World 3. Chick On My Tip 4. Romeo 5. New Realization 6. Had A Dat 7. Slow Ride 8. Trenchtown Rock 9. Get Out! 10. Johnny Too Bad 11. Ball and Chain (EUTS) 12. Smoke Two Joints (EUTS) 13. Don't Push (SHS) 14. Date Rape (EUTS or Jah) 15. Ebin (EUTS) For whatever reason, a lot of Sublime fans just want re-creations of every old release. Collectors want represses for the green and clear date rape vinyl release, which would be such a waste.
  2. Might as well sell my copy of Robbin The Hood while I can get some value for it and wait for the new mastering. I'm thinking that they'd have to re-mix the entire album as well. They can finally make the album sound as good as it should have the first time.

  4. These pretty much cover The Get Up Kids discography right? Four Minute Mile Two EPs (Red Letter Day and Woodson) Something To Write Home About Eudora On A Wire Guilt Show Simple Science There Are Rules Other than these 12 inch LP's, are there any other Get Up Kids records that are "must haves"? I'm basically avoiding any 7 inch and 10 inch releases. On a side note, I know there are tons of demos, b-sides, and "unreleased" recordings out there. Any chance the band would consider putting out "Eudora Volume 2" or something of the sort?
  5. Doghouse is sold out now of 4MM :-( I'm hoping to find a copy of the release that has both the Red Letter Day and Woodson EP's on it. It would be much more convenient together on a 12 inch LP rather than getting Red Letter Day, Woodson, and New Found Mass on separate 10 inch/7 inch releases.
  6. For anyone still looking for copies of On A Wire and Eudora, I found somewhere that still has both http://www.kingsroadmerch.com/workhorse/artist/?id=243 I just ordered Eudora.
  7. I think he meant to compare the BX5's to other powered speakers. Also, speaking for myself, my Yamaha RX-V592 Receiver has rca outputs for power speakers and a subwoofer, and it features a phono input too. I can run the BX5's without needing too much bass coming out of them, and have the subwoofer cover any really low end. I tried previously to set up passive speakers with my receiver, but it was a bit of a hassle (the amplifier within the Receiver would not give me a stereo sound, it turned everything into surround sound). I got some cheap powered speakers a while back that worked fine through the rca outputs, but they have too much bass and treble, and sound a little too harsh. I didn't buy the receiver, it used to be my parents', but they had no use for it anymore. Rather than attempt to sell it, or just purchase a pre-amp, I thought I'd put it to good use and try to build my set up around it. I thought that with a good turntable (Debut Carbon DC), good powered speakers (M-Audio BX5's), a run of the mill subwoofer (Sony SA W2500), I should get good use out of the receiver. The receiver may not be considered high-end, but would it limit me from getting an "entry-level audiophile" sound from my setup?
  8. Nothing fancy, but... Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Turntable - Gloss Black Yamaha RX-V592 Home Theater Receiver Sony SA-W2500 Performance Line 100 Watt Subwoofer M-Audio BX5 D2 5" Active Studio Monitors I'll post a picture soon.
  9. Just ordered a pair of M-Audio BX5 monitors for $149 from Sam Ash's Black Friday sale (Guitar Center has them for the same price but they had sold out online). Amazon has only one pair in stock priced at $319.99. http://www.samash.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product2_10001_10051_3461278_-1____ProductDisplayErrorView Also, sucks that turntablelab changed the discount from 20% to 10%. Nevertheless, i ordered this Pro-ject Debut Carbon DC for $404.10, rather than paying $449 for it. They had sold out of the regular Debut Carbon. I figured it was worth it to get the Debut Carbon DC from turntablelab with the discount rather than paying $399 anywhere else for the regular Debut Carbon. http://turntablelab.com/products/pro-ject-debut-carbon-dc-turntable-gloss-black Couldn't find a thread on it, but they did a good job explaining the differences between the Debut Carbon and the Debut Carbon DC here: http://turntablelab.com/pages/the-difference-between-pro-ject-debut-carbon-debut-and-carbon-dc-turntables So my new Turntable and Speakers ran at $553.10. Without the discounts, had I gone with Amazon, I would have spent $768.99 on the same items.
  10. A couple of remarks: - I think rather than pressing the posthumous releases (post Self-titled) on vinyl, I think they should re-compile the songs and THEN release them. It's honestly a mess of songs among Second Hand Smoke, the Acoustic album, the self-titled deluxe edition, and Everything Under The Sun. A little scary that an entire 8 years passed between the release of the Acoustic album and Everything Under The Sun. Some politics were involved in that, but still. The fact that there was so much material that didn't see the light of day for such a long time, it's just crazy. It's part of the reason why I think they should start fresh with new compilations for everything that was released after Self-Titled. - Adding on to the last point, you can easily make a compilation of the best of Sublime's early recordings prior to the release of 40 Oz. To Freedom. Most of these songs would come from Second Hand Smoke and Everything Under The Sun. The band practically had an entire album of material prior to 40 Oz. 01. Roots of Creation (EUTS) 02. Perfect World (EUTS) 03. Romeo (SHS) 04. Chick On My Tip (SHS) 05. New Realization (SHS) 06. Ebin (EUTS) 07. Date Rape (EUTS) 08. Ball and Chain (EUTS) 09. Slow Ride (SHS) 10. Had A Dat (SHS) 11. Don't Push (SHS) 12. Trenchtown Rock (SHS) 13. Johnny Too Bad (EUTS) 14. Smoke Two Joints (EUTS) Basically, you can make a playlist out of those 14 songs I listed and make the pre-cursor to 40 Oz. - It's surprising to me how good "Stand By Your Van" sounds compared to the "3 Ring Circus: Live at the Palace". Someone botched the audio on the 3 Ring Circus release because there should be no reason why Caress Me Down on Stand By Your Van actually sounds a lot better than on 3 Ring Circus. The bass on 3 Ring Circus sounds terrible, and it wasn't because of Eric's playing. If his tone sounded fine on Caress Me Down on Stand By Your Van, then how could they not get it ride on 3 Ring Circus when it's the same show. Obviously the rest of Stand By Your Van was from different shows, so that's why I bring up Caress Me Down.
  11. Best new song I've heard so far is Picasso Trigger. Has the potential to be my favorite Finch song.
  12. Finch played "Insomniatic Meat", "Ink", "Bitemarks and Bloodstains", and "A Piece Of Mind" in Japan the other night. They've also played "Brother Bleed Brother" at other shows recently. I'd say the 5 together are the most accessible songs from the album. After these 5, the rest of the album is fairly obscure, though "A Man Alone", "Revelation Song", and "Miro" might be the other accessible songs in my view.
  13. It's on par with both Emarosa albums that Jonny is on IMO, and in some aspects even better.
  14. Diehard Sublime fan here. Unless you're planning on framing the pic discs and putting them on your wall, the pic discs for 40 Oz and Robbin hold little value in my opinion because they only feature select songs from the albums. You're better off trying to pick up a recent press of Robbin from somewhere online. On a side note, I wonder if there are any other Sublime vinyl releases planned besides another repress of 40 Oz.
