radiatorhums Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Got an email from Earache regarding a few Skinny Puppy reissues. Hopefully they keep working their way through the catalog. Hard to find any of them for a good price and in decent shape it seems. Quote Skinny Puppy exploded onto the electronic industrial music scene with 1984’s Remission, fusing elements of new wave, techno dance, film noir, and innovative sampling. Lead by cEvin Key and Nivek Ogre, the band quickly garnered an international fanbase and followed up their new success with 1985’s Bites, which produced their first underground hit, “Assimilate.” Restored to their original track listing and design, Remission and Bites are now available on vinyl for the first time in over 25 years. http://uswebstore.earache.com/skinny-puppy unknown pleasures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimosityDK Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Greatest industrial group to ever graze this planet. I can't think of a band more deserving of a (hopefully) complete discography reissued on vinyl. radiatorhums and unknown pleasures 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aphasias Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 (edited) Finally! Wasn't sure this would ever happen. cEvin Key had publicly stated his frustration with Nettwerk about not being willing to bring these back in print or to license them to anyone that would. I remember hearing that Nettwerk sold rights to a lot of their recordings to Kobalt, so I wonder if that has anything to do with these. I do wish that Artoffact would be handling these because they've been doing great work with SP's side projects (and just reissued some great Nettwerk era Download releases that never saw a vinyl release) and it'd have been great to see these expanded to double LPs with the extra material included on the CD reissues put on the second disc. I already have most of Skinny Puppy's albums, minus Remission & Last Rights, and I'd like to replace my copy of Too Dark Park so I hope these are just the beginning.

I'll always love Skinny Puppy but your post really drives home the fact that neither the band nor the labels they associate with are winning a spelling bee anytime soon.

Yeah, I wonder if the band is getting any money at all from these re-releases, I doubt it. Hopefully all the SP stuff from that era is out of Nettwerk's hands and into companies that'll actually do something with the catalog. I'm very happy with my original copies (I found Bites on discogs years back for $2!) so I doubt I'll buy these but I'm glad they're finally getting repressed. I second Artoffact's work with the Download/Key stuff, the Doubting Thomas pressing sounds amazing and I can't wait for the new Download LP's to arrive.

fish Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Guess I never realized these albums are so hard to find/pricey. I got a couple different pressings of Bites for $5ish and recently found Too Dark Park for $10 all at my local used shops. I do really need to track down Mind and Rabies at some point. I don't love earache's business practices so I'm hoping someone else re-releases those when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked it was difficult to get anything in decent condition lower than $75 on Discogs. Bites & Remission easily fetch $60 as well. Actually, that's what they're listed for. Doesn't mean they're selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monastic_mike Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I won't PO these most likely but I will buy them. I had pretty much EVERYTHING they released on CD and none on vinyl. I'd like that to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for this poster, but a lot of people are probably still waiting to receive shipments with The Eyes Of Stanley Pain, Sidewinder, III and Effector as Artoffact just recently released them. I received mine a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeromium Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Had to do some deep-digging to find where those Download reissues were being sold. Nothing on Artoffact's bandcamp page, and I had to scroll deep, deep down their Facebook page to find a link to an article which then posted links to where to buy them - on stormingthebase.com. Wow. Seems that most variants are still available there, and the rest on Discogs. Just copped the clear/blue splatter of TEOSP on Discogs along with III and Sidewinder on Storming the Base. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Monastic_mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 These are up on Bullmoose for a little less than what Earache has them listed as and w/ free shipping on orders over $30. There's also a release date of 10.13 listed. http://www.bullmoose.com/p/25572048/skinny-puppy-bites-150-gram http://www.bullmoose.com/p/25572046/skinny-puppy-remission-150-gram Monastic_mike, tape and jeromium 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Slightly off topic but the new Ohgr album "Tricks" is finally out (digitally at least). No word yet on when the vinyl pressings will ship. You can still pre-order the new album here along with a vinyl pressing of Undeveloped - https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/ohgr radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
