rooks Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hmm. Interesting. Not a HUGE fan of the remasters, but I guess that's what I should expect. Does the tracklisting not match that of the mixtapes? That could bother me. edit: I checked and the tracklisting doesn't match. Small qualm but it will annoy me to no end. Might have to hold off.

tomfiend Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 any where to get the bootleg still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I think vinyl-digital.com still has copies of the deluxe edition. Or, it let me add a copy of the deluxe edition to my cart, so I can only assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellnow Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 my thoughts on the bootleg. sound quality is solid. there were a few pops that I could reproduce, but not a big deal. pretty sure this is a rip of the remastered version... not the initial download. - there is no "Rock the Boat" sample on What You Need. - the "Twenty Eight" bonus track is included. - the vocals and bass are tweaked. cons... the generic brand album art. the jacket is a bit thin. title of song A3 "He Knowing" the track list is a bit mixed up (not sure if the official LP release is similar?) If you want House of Balloons on vinyl for a reasonable price, get it. Thanks for the rundown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockieftw Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 There's now a white press /250 deluxe House of Balloons up. Not sure if anyone has posted about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Can you post a link plz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Toki - it's just the bootleg. I googled it and a site came up advertising it as /250, but it's the same art and messed up tracklisting as the bootleg that has been going around.

timsimmons Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 So I just got a 7" box in the mail. It was from Sandbag and in the notes section of the invoice was a message that said Weeknd - Trilogy vinyl. I open it up and its a 7" of Belong to the World as the A and B-side. Anyone else get this? I'm guessing this was the special gift they aid they would send to make up for misleading people on the autographs (in addition to an actual autographed flat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kindaill Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I guess these are finally coming out individually... amazing news for anyone that slept on the box set, including myself. No Amazon yet but I searched the cat number and one other site showed the pre-order.

ntslash Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Awesome. I will definitely get House of Balloons. Never been a big enough fan of the others to drop that kind of dough. agaetisbyrjun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Awesome news. Kinda weird they're all gonna be on a 2LP but if it sounds amazing I'll have no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Awesome news. Kinda weird they're all gonna be on a 2LP but if it sounds amazing I'll have no complaints.The HoB boot is a 2xLP too, I haven't clicked the link yet, but is it possible these are all boots?Edit: says the play time for HoB is 53:27, these would be garbage on 1xLP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizza face Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 House of balloons releases tomorrow. I reserved one at bullmoose and apparently that was the only one left at the store. I wonder how limited this release is if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erthan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Have HOB preordered on Amazon.ca which has a release date of August 28th. Not super hopeful of ever getting it this way but am definitely excited to own this as a non-bootleg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Got mine pre-ordered at Amoeba with 15% coupon: AUG1515 Free shipping, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobannaboc Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I ordered all three albums and got shipping notification from Amoeba yesterday so they're making their way out of the warehouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeKaye Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Rough Trade has all three official presses listed, but HOB is limited to 500 they claim. None of the others are. I think there is some mix up and they are using old facts about the boots and numbers on those in the description. Strange if true and 99% of the time the text on their site is just the official press release. Unless the news ones are limited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizza face Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 This pressing is pretty good, kinda has some faint surface noise through side a but not overpowering at all.. But that's all I've got to so far Maybe I need to clean it or I need a new needle. Also it's a gatefold jacket, nothing inside the gatefold though, just blank black nothingness..

darkeyelids Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Also it's a gatefold jacket, nothing inside the gatefold though, just blank black nothingness.. Is it a die cut gatefold like the original? Also, does it have the wax paper sleeves like the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endserenading Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Saw House of Balloons at my local shop today. Very tempting. But the one i really want is Echos of Silence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza face Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Not sure what the original is like but pictures will do better than explaining Yes it has shitty paper sleeves. Hate these things, wish companies would just do double sided inserts instead of using it as record sleeves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
