I knew the paranoia was warranted. This was posted by Petey on the Stereolab forum: "I've no idea what has been going on at Beggars but the US office decided to press the 2008 version onto clear vinyl, keep the 2008 sleeve but put a PURE11LPX sticker on it – I'm more than a little annoyed to discover this. I've been told that this ‘hybrid’ edition is being re-called and replaced with the re-mastered version with the updated sleeve. If you would like a replacement then please e-mail – [email protected] I'm still waiting to find out if the digital versions are being updated to the re-mastered tarcks – I can't see why this wouldn't happen."

You could try Juno, but it looks like they only have 1 release right now. edit: They also (AFAIK) offer the best shipping prices to the States.

It's in my sig but here's the link for all you mobile users https://www.discogs.com/user/KaitouGentleman/collection

Does this mean it's time for the "emo revival"-revival?

I sure hope so. After the Bauhaus ITFF mess, I wouldn't be surprised if different masterings were used, intentionally or not.

They are indeed on clear with the new hype stickers. Kind of a bummer the US pressings may not be remastered. Oh well. I'll pick them up from Juno in the near future and maybe compare the 2 pressings.

I don't know if I'm being paranoid, but did anyone else notice that there are 2 different pressings of Peng! and Groop? The copies I got locally doesn't say anything about being remastered at Calyx on the back cover unlike the ones posted at Juno (along with some other minor artwork changes). Also the runouts are definitely different from the Switched-On releases as the one I got don't have Bo's etchings on them. https://www.juno.co.uk/products/stereolab-peng-reissue/707557-01/ https://www.juno.co.uk/products/stereolab-the-groop-played-space-age-bachelor/707558-01/ Please tell me I'm not going crazy here.

Long overdue, deluxe edition reissues arriving Jan 2019 Rehab Doll: https://megamart.subpop.com/releases/green_river/rehab_doll_deluxe_edition Dry As a Bone: https://megamart.subpop.com/releases/green_river/dry_as_a_bone_deluxe_edition

"Clear w/ smoke" is the clear with black smoke variant that's /1500. "London Fog" is the clear with white smoke that's the regular retail version. It should be pretty clear on the hype sticker which version you'll get. Has no one in this thread ever had London fog tea?

Colored pressings available for pre-order. Yes, they are pricey. Yes, Tales is included. https://clubbastardo.themerchcollective.com/collections/remastered-vinyl-pre-order

Just in time for the holiday season, it's the 4th installment of the Sub Pop Singles Club series. https://megamart.subpop.com/releases/sub_pop/sub_pop_singles_club_vol_4 To anyone who did the previous installment in 2008-2009, do they usually announce the artists beforehand? I'd be down for this if they gave a bit of a sneak preview for what I'm expecting.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I think the UPCs from that spreadsheet are just for the different retail variants. 689230020615 - https://www.bullmoose.com/p/27978769/daughters-daughters 689230020516 - https://www.bullmoose.com/p/27978770/daughters-you-wont-get-what-you-want

I had the half-speed mastered 45rpm pressings for AGW and BAAS, and both of them had some issues with tape dropouts. As a result, one of the stereo channels had a drop in volume which is quite noticeable if you're listening using headphones. Eventually I opted for the European 1LP pressings, and most of the dropouts were fixed, so they're my go-to copies now. Since those pressings were also cut by Miles at Abbey Road, I'm pleased with the mastering. Plus, breaking up Discreet Music just sounds off.

I can't find any other official info but Apollo is also going to be released as well. I'm excited for this one. Apollo is hands down my fav ambient Eno album.

4 more Eno reissues announced, focusing on the (solo) ambient work. Both 45rpm half-speed mastered 2LP and standard 1 LP versions are up for order at https://www.enoshop.co.uk/shop/vinyl Discreet Music - 45rpm 2LP/Standard 1LP Ambient 1: Music for Airports - 45rpm 2LP/Standard 1LP Ambient 4: On Land - 45rpm 2LP/Standard 1LP Music for Films - 45rpm 2LP/Standard 1LP

Did Moribund and Wrest finally make up? I remember the huge drama on NWN between W and BoB.

Yes please gimme that star. I'm not surprised he went back to Kranky. I thought Love Streams didn't have that QC that was there with his earlier works.

Got them in today, they are not foil covers, so I'm very happy about that. The posters are huge btw so don't be surprised if there's bit of sleeve damage.

That's the KRM one: https://www.kingsroadmerch.com/converge/view/?id=14102&cid=65

The cover's getting teased on the Converge IG page, but RYM and Allmusic leaked the info a bit early. So much for a surprise release? 1 - Permanent Blue 2:24 2 - Churches and Jails 1:27 3 - Melancholia 1:29 4 - Beautiful Ruin 1:23

USPS is working now, grabbed the bundle from SL
