EHughes527 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Shpongle fans rejoice! After a hiatus, it appears that Twisted Records is getting into the swing of things again soon! On the way confirmed: - Shpongle - Nothing Lasts... 2xLP Vinyl Remastered - 2018? On the way rumored: - Shpongle Studio Album Vinyl Box Set - based on a discussion I've had with Simon Holtom (label owner). - Shpongle - Standard Editions of remasters Edited March 23, 2018 by EHughes527 axotyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHughes527 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Here's a message from Twisted this morning: Quote Twisted Records Page Liked · 2 hrs · Edited · We just found the 18 year old master DAT tape for Are You Shpongled? Time for some remastering and fresh vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHughes527 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'm really hoping we see the box set as well as individual reissues of each studio album (the remix album too!). I'd be over the moon if the Younger Brother - The Last Days Of Gravity 2xLP was repressed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's part of my correspondence with Simon H. His reply to me (from April 2015) about possible new vinyl... Quote " Hi Eric, im not sure at the moment still giving it lots of thought to be honest. i was tempted by a Shpongle heavy vinyl box set, but it's a lot of work and a lot of investment..As we none of the plates or artwork on file so we would have to master everything again and use completely new artwork.. And with (hopefully) Shpongle 6 at some point in the future wouldn't seem right to have a Shpongle box set but have one album missing from it...would it ? i guess it all depends on what Simon (Posford) decides to write next in his studio, if he feels like writing some Hallucinogen then maybe we can put one of those out on vinyl before the album.. " The announcement of remastering AYS? leads me to believe that they are beginning this process.

EHughes527 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 I'm hoping that AYS? is reissued as a 3xLP. The one thing that always stuck out to me with the existing vinyl pressing of AYS is how two whole songs didn't make it to the vinyl editions. Clearly, making AYS a triple LP with three whole discs of space would be the perfect answer to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some amazing albums and compilations that have great CDs and sometimes 1/2 or 2/3 of the tracks make it to vinyl.

With AYS, the two songs left off (but made it to other comps) took up an entire LP side each. Upping the release from 2xLP to 3xLP would appear to solve this issue. Fingers crossed!

EHughes527 Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Good news! "TWSLP4RM" I see Sides A/B C/D E/F !!! AYS? 3xLP confirmed! First time the whole album will be in one release on vinyl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've personally chatted with the Twisted label owner and they are waiting on Shpongle 6 to be completed (in progress) before doing the box set edition they'd like to put out. I suspect with a box set, individual copies will be available as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted isn't beholden to do a box, so it's always possible that it never happens. But I do know that they genuinely want to do it, but I also know that they don't exactly rake in the cash so new releases are few and far between.

toomanyrecords Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 They should take preorders for it and use that money to fund it. Enough fans for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is they'd mostly likely be remastering 4 or 5 of the past albums (all 2xLP), so if they take preorders and say even one side of one of those discs get rejected test presses the whole thing is held up. Nothing worse for a label than taking money up front and having long delays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o0o_G_o0o Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 will the release date and pre-orders be announced on the Twisted website? I'm not on facebook and worried I miss the boat. I have the full back catalogue on CD and been slowly building the vinyl collection on the 2nd hand market at great expense.... Know of the coming vinyl remasters and Shpongle 6 is a breath of fresh air =) EHughes527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted can be a bit spotty on the social media end, but when it comes to selling stuff, they sure push it. I see you're new here, and would recommend that you Subscribe to this thread using your account. (near the top right of the page). It gives you different options of how to get notified, if you don't plan on frequenting this board, I would just suggest you set it to the "One email per day with all new content from that day" option. That way if/when there are releases available, it'll certainly be discussed here and you'll be pinged. Just my two cents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHughes527 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Guess what I got my hands on... They sound FANTASTIC! It's amazing to finally have all the tracks in one place. I do not however have any indication of when the preorder may be. This was the song layout:Tracklist A1 Shpongle Falls A2 Shpongle Spores B Vapour Rumours C Monster Hit D Behind Closed Eyelids E Divine Moments Of Truth F ...And The Day Turned To Night Edited December 30, 2016 by EHughes527 WAXXX, davepriz and jhurskas 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Are You Shpongled? changed my life when I first heard it back in 2002 or 2003. Nobody fucking knew about them then, and they almost disappeared. Thankfully, the jamband scene blew them up and now they've got the notoriety they deserve. Hearing Sphongle Falls on vinyl must be a fucking glorious trip to heaven..... i can't even imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
