chunkrock Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Hey someone mentioned that Bongload Records are doing represses of The Beck albums Odelay and Mellow Gold as well as Elliott Smith XO and Either/Or. Newbury had them as coming soon for $40 each. You can order them now at the Bongload website for $35 each! http://www.bongloadrecords.com/#!shop/mkbf2 Vector53 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I hope this means we'll see a reissue of Midnite Vultures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkrock Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 I would imagine they are new pressings that went back to the master tapes. I've heard nothing but bad things about any of the represses of the Elliott Smith records (Plain did them) and that the originals on Bongload sound amazing, they also fetch a lot on discogs. Original Beck albums on Bongload are supposed to sound great too and also fetch a lot on discogs. I imagine these are one time pressings as it's probably all they have the rights to do.

ejc625 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Does anyone think that Sam's Town Anniversary pressing will be available through any other outlets? Or will it be available through bongload records exclusively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never dealt with them so I have no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapalmBrain Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 That price sucks but I ordered Odelay with a quickness, I have buyers remorse from not buying the box version cheap years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I have the original Bong Load pressings of Odelay and XO (and Midnite Vultures). They do sound fantastic. I have the Plain XO as well and can confirm that the pressing Bong Load sounds much better. I never got the 4LP Odelay (though now I wish I had), so I haven't compared them. Really happy to to be able to pick up Figure 8 and Mellow Gold. I have the plain Figure 8 and it sounds like ass. I am curious to hear of this Odelay will be different from the original or the new one Geffen/Interscope is putting out this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutem Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 150 copies of each for selected shops in the UK. You can order them here: http://beartreerecords.com/ £40 per record is RIDICULOUS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Lots of questions. I ordered the Sam's Town release, then immediately sent them an email asking for audio info for all these reissues like source, mastering engineer and pressing plant. Hopefully they get back to me. High prices a fine if the product is good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetsuodaironman Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Damn, those colorways look amazing, but $35 for a single LP? What the flying fuck? dantheriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want MV too, but that's only because I already own Mutations. I might just sell my OG and buy the repress of Mellow Gold, and I'm on the fence about getting the special Odelay too.
