Regarding the new pressing of Lust for Life, right clicking and selecting "View page source" provides some insight on what's left at the moment:

So maybe a pressing of 6000? Dunno.

If you were 1/1,00,000,000 as relevant as Danzig, this would be funny.  You’re not.

Are....are you Danzig? This has to be Glenn Danzig's account.

The Magnetic Fields’ first two albums, The Wayward Bus and Distant Plastic Trees, will make their debut appearance on vinyl in December 2016, packaged together as a two-LP set.
 

Distant Plastic Trees, the Magnetic Fields’ first album, was originally released in England and Japan in 1991. Merritt’s accordion player, the novelist Daniel Handler, later noted that “this tinny and intimate recording, in quiet defiance of the reigning roar of pop music, recalls both the early, scratchy field recordings of folk music and the first experiments in electronic music—precisely the sort of stylistic balance the Magnetic Fields liked to achieve.” The album includes the early-’90s college radio single “100,000 Fireflies” which had earlier appeared as a single on Harriet Records and was later covered by Superchunk.
 

The album artwork on both Distant Plastic Trees and The Wayward Bus was created by watercolorist Wendy Smith. Her beautiful wrap-around paintings, now printed in a larger format, along with remastered audio make this two-LP set an exciting addition to the Magnetic Fields discography.
 

Preorders will ship to arrive on or around the release date of December 2.

As a huge fan of The Magnetic Fields and Stephin Merritt in general, I have to admit that I've never listened to either of these. Here's a song from the new remaster:

Agreed. Been listening to the song on repeat. Two faves of mine.

Hope Sandoval (of Mazzy Star) and Colm Ó Cíosóig (of My Bloody Valentine) have announced a new album from their project Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions. The new record, which is the duo’s first since 2009’s Through the Devil Softly, is called Until the Hunter, and it’s out November 4 via Sandoval’s own label Tendril Tales (distributed through INGrooves). Along with the announcement, they’ve shared a new song from the record, “Let Me Get There,” which is a duet with Kurt Vile. Hear it below. Scroll down for the tracklist (which includes the previously shared “Isn’t It True”) and album artwork.

In a press release, Kurt Vile said of the collaboration:

It was a total honor to sing along to a beautifully hypnotic soul groove with heavyweights like Hope, Colm, and all the other top notch musos. To respond to Hope’s call in song of letting her get there felt right and real and gave me chills while singing, even though I knew they already got there years before I walked in the building.

Until the Hunter Tracklist:
01. Into the Trees
02. The Peasant
03. A Wonderful Seed
04. Let Me Get There
05. Day Disguise
06. Treasure
07. Salt of the Sea
08. The Hiking Sea
09. Isn’t It True
10. I Took a Sip
11. Liquid Lady
