I don’t believe it’s out yet. This listing has a release date of the 14th (same for Frances and Amp) ever since I first saw the listing it’s always said “sold out” they might just not be selling it online or something https://www.ziarecords.com/p/13434533/mars-volta-the-bedlam-in-goliath-white-gold-glow-in-the-dark-vinyl-3x-white-gold-glow-in-the-dark-color-viny-3lp

Yeah I figured as much. I’ll for sure be getting this copy as well though

I bet Mr Muggs is going the be the glow in the dark disc 🤦🏽‍♂️

What do they mean by “indie exclusive”? i got the same thing too.. bummer. Guess I’ll have to wait till they start showing up next month

This site has it for $40 https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/165314/The_Mars_Volta-De-Loused_In_The_Comatorium-Vinyl_Record?fbclid=IwAR24Wenikx6A-NMQrPJaxGDWsCERbZIw38GoO85nsqvbKyhKxqHVxHD_kSY also, kinda strange MOV would get in on this again and can’t they find another color to press besides gold??

i do! i just totally forgot about it when i laid everything out and didn't want to go back and redo it

It’s always a hassle trying to post pictures on here. But if anyone cares to look, here is every variant of every single piece of vinyl by The Mars Volta and Omar Rodriguez https://instagram.com/p/CSih4bEnBS_/

Gotcha! Thank you for that!!

Is there a statement they posted, or an email saying they’re going to repress it? And will it be for everyone or just those that have sent them emails complaining about the noise?

bump, help me complete my Volta and Omar collection!!

Nice!! So jealous of that Goliath 12” one of few hat in still missing, and is going to cost me quite a bit

Daughters - you won’t get what you want memphisvinyl.com/downloads 4KL21 fucking love this album

Well that was easy. Stoked I got one!

Yeah this is what I took from the interview as well. That they did an initial run for bedlam and it was supposed to end there. But that universal kept making more when they weren’t supposed to. i wonder what the deal is with Octahedron. That seems to still be currently in print with the black copies easy to come by.

Yeah universal definitely found some loophole or something. MOV wasn’t to blame as they pressed it from what they believed was legally. They’re a legit pressing that don’t do bootlegs. When these came out I remember telling a friend who was close friends with the band about the new pressings, and his first reaction was they there’s no way this could’ve been possible since Omar has all the vinyl rights. So even this friend new about Omar having those rights and that universal was screwing them over and shouldn’t have been able to release those records.

Yeah I don’t believe the contract is that clear cut. There must’ve been some gray area or loophole that universal took advantage of. Or else they wouldn’t just outright do what they did. but who knows. It was pretty fucked up though as the band didn’t get any money from it. Which is probably why they’re still so mad about it.

If you have the silver MOV deloused, I’d be interested in buying. Maybe not right this minute since I just bought the box

I have both, and I’ve always thought Frances sounds great. Never had any issues or complaints with the audio quality of that record. About 5 years ago there was another bootleg version of Frances that to me sounded great as well. Very on par with the OG and honestly couldn’t tell them apart. Great quality bootleg. I like the way Frances sounds. deloused on the other hand, the OG silver is not that great. It’s a picture disc so it’s super noisy. The MOV reissues from a few years ago are so much better quality. I don’t even listen to the OG anymore. There was an older bootleg as well that at the time was a better option than the OG, then the MOV versions were the ones to go with. There’s a new deloused bootleg as well that I believe comes from the same place as the current Frances one. I don’t have that one yet but some people are saying the quality is not great either. but if I can find it under $100 i will most definitely buy a copy to add to my collection. Crazy that they’re going for over $100 on eBay. That’s too much

I totally see where you’re coming from. I don’t normally buy bootlegs of albums that already exists. I’ll either hunt down a copy, or accept the fact that I’ll never own it. I do have a couple live bootlegs like iggy pop and other old punk bands, those are just cool to have. But in this specific case, I’m a huge Mars Volta lover, I didn’t know the quality of the record when I bought it although I wasn’t expecting much. But I’m on a personal mission to collect every piece of vinyl from Mars Volta and Omar solo, all variants and all bootlegs. Just to have, so that was my reason for buying it, I would’ve still bought it had I known how terrible it was. but in some cases I’ve heard that some bootlegs do still sound great. And I’d the sound quality is good, and it’s a good bootleg, I fully support people buying those bootlegs when the originals sell for hundreds of dollars. if this was a different band and there was bootleg of an album I wanted but I knew was shitty quality, I wouldn’t even bother with it

I bought mine on eBay for about $50 when they first started popping up a few months ago. And now they’re selling for like $100-150. Kinda ridiculous. The quality is not great, for starters the cover art looks terrible, super dark and no real definition in the dark areas, and the image is super pixelated. The sound quality is pretty bad too. It’s on a double LP instead of the original 2 and a half. It sounds super compressed and muffled. It’s not super super horrendous, but it’s not great. If you can find one for under $100 I’d say go for it. If not, don’t waste your money and instead save up a bit more and buy an original which average $250-300. In fact I have a near perfect copy I’ve been looking to trade for a Silver MOV deloused. Or possibly sell it IF I can find someone else selling that silver deloused.

True true. I guess it would take a long while for them to have all the versions. I assumed they would have US distributors though, maybe not? There’s just so many different variants that keep popping up, would be cool to see them all before making a purchase in the event a more badass one comes up. It was just something I was thinking

So the deal is that the band gets copies of every pressing for them to sale. Do you think they’ll put them all for sale at the same time? Would it be worth waiting for that after knowing of all the different variants available instead?

Yeah salty dog makes some awesome looking variants. I’ve never bought anything from them, but I’ve seen a lot of their records and they’re rad
