About to pull the trigger but I'm pretty blown away how terrible the cover art is compared to Birth of a New Day.

Be Here Now allegedly in October.

$75 for a 3LP picture disc soundtrack to Rocket League that won't come out until Q4 2016. 

What a time to be alive. 

Well, it's either new material or all analog reissues, both of which would be fine by me!

Does anyone know if these 45rpm pressings were cut "analog," like the Classic Records issues?

 

Or were they transferred to Hi-Res digital first, like the Led Zeppelin reissues?

These reissues (the first wave, at least) were cut from hi-res digital files. While some think they sounded good, the general consensus on the Steve Hoffman Forums is that the Classic Records releases blow these out of the water. 

Another disappointing aspect is that with the announcement of the second wave, it would appear they are skipping over a lot of the other albums, such as Passion (easily one of his best works), Secret World Live, Ovo, etc. Would've been great to have reissues of those on vinyl. 

Personally, I think the first four reissues sound pretty good. It's nice to have pristine copies of his albums, but at the same time, I really wish they would have gone the extra mile and did all analog cuts so that these could be the best versions of the albums ever released (I'm not sure if US and Up were recorded digitally or analog, though).

I checked with my local store a couple days ago and they already had a list of about 5 people so I probably won't have any luck there. I expected these to go for $50-$70, not $120+. Damn. I hope XL comes to their senses and does a wider pressing but that will never happen.

What a scummy move limiting these to 2500. Lol thanks XL. 

Bought the deluxe from Waste and the white from Amoeba. I love this record too much.

Back to stressing out on how I'm going to get the 7".

Right, that wasn't really my point.

 

Again, the point of my speculative post (which has not been mentioned anywhere else in this thread) is why they have more copies of their masters.   They don't dub 50 master reals of a record and store them.   I was simply trying to connect the dots between why they would include pieces of master reels not of the album the box set contains and the fact that reissues of their albums are on the way....by speculatively stating, they wouldn't arbitrarily create copies of their master reels as they only use them for so many passes on the tape-heads....so if they've used them recently, it's not crazy that they would've used them for sourcing for the new pressings coming out while dubbing new masters.

 

which I only bring up at all because of the decent amount of folks here who have gripes with the capital vault reissues that previously came out....perhaps these new represses will sound more inline with the original parlophone pressings 

According to someone at Reddit, XL just bought some of the Capitol stock and is putting XL stickers on them. Might not be true but it doesn't sound too improbable. Maybe future pressings will be cut from the masters like you said, but I doubt it :/

Regarding the deluxe edition, if you had access to a reel to reel player, would it be possible to find out what snippet you got or would the pieces be too short?

What are the odds that Radiohead's website isn't going to crash at 2pm tomorrow?

I don't remember there being any issues when TKOL went up.

I'll also be very surprised if the special edition is very limited since it seems like anyone who wanted the In Rainbows/TKOL deluxe editions were able to get them with no problem.

Nah, I just searched "dark blue forum theme" on google haha.

This news is now on Pitchfork and other music sites. None of my local stores say they'll hold me a copy because they don't know if they'll get any in. This is going to be hard to get ughh.

Man I hope this isn't going to be hard to get. Hopefully Wasteheadquarters will sell it.

Song is very good! Need to hear it within the context of the full album to fully judge it though -- preferably on the inevitable super deluxe limited discbox newspaper edition. ;-)

The "dark" theme is what the "VC Blue/Green" theme should have been in the first place -- but even then, it's still way too bright IMO.

A dark theme should actually be, you know, dark:

XL reissues appear to be coming on 5/31. http://www.bullmoose.com/search?Q=radiohead&As=true&As=false&Cid=18&Pf=&Pt=&btnsearch=Search

(I hope the new album releases soon!)

Ah, I just checked MyUSPS and I have a package coming from Seattle so it must be this. Looks very nice!

Through their bandcamp page.

So does anyone know if UO still has a $10 or under clearance section (in store)? Thinking of checking it out later tonight to see if there's any deals.

Wilco Kicking Television 4LP Box

Wilco/Billy Bragg Mermaid Avenue Vol. 1-3

$100 shipped. Tempting.

Sorry, but does anyone have the current CCmusic code?  Advanced search isn't working and this 'phishing scam' warning is driving me crazy.  I know it was posted in a recent topic but can't find it.  Thanks!

Just preordered through th Import CDs site. Looks like there was a huge price jump on Amazon UK. Is Import CDs pretty reliable? I think $27 is fair. Will cancel if Bullmoose has this.

Everything I've ordered from ImportCDs has arrived fine. I've never pre ordered anything from them, however.

Bull Moose does have this btw -- looks like a spelling error. http://www.bullmoose.com/p/22582798/killers-hot-fuzz-import-gbr

Was just about to post this. Hopefully this means A Storm in Heaven will get reissued, but the fact they didn't do that one first (because it was released earlier) has me wondering. 

Bump.
