I wouldn’t sweat it, my dude.  Hostility only seems to flare up when our resident armchair psychiatrists get bored and feel the need to flex their pseudo-intellectual prowess.  It doesn’t seem to happen all that often, and the majority of us are grounded far enough into the real world that the forum is something we flock to for fun and discussions – not much else.  The bickering shouldn’t be interpreted as “””serious business””” but your mileage may vary.

 

I think this repress isn’t garnering as much hype because it’s not the first time the record has been made available again.  I’m in the camp that owns the prior press... otherwise I’d probably be visibly stoked to finally own this record.  Owning an OG triple LP would be awesome, but for the price difference and what’s being offered, I’m pretty content with the repress.  Glad to see more people are able to get their hands on it, too – I don’t think there’s any disputing that this is BP’s crowning gem of their discography.

Nah, it's cool. This just happened to be the first thread I came upon and I was a little taken aback at the candour and general vibe going on. I'm sure it will balance up favorably on further reading and exploring.

It was a shame they didn't make more of the repress. I missed out before and much as I love the album, wasn't prepared to pay silly money for an OG.

Hey VC virgin here. I got my copy last week. I'm still sort of surprised there hasn't been more excitement for this reissue.

Just skipping through this thread, man you guys are a lot less polite to each other than the VMP forum
