LOL WOW!!! 🤮 TBH nothing would surprise me at this point.

Okay. Yeah, I can see that. But, PLOT TWIST- The new run will be on tastefully done color variants. Gotta get those double dipper dollars!!!

You’re hoping it’s more overpriced box sets? You got me. I have to admit I didn’t think your posts in this thread were cleaver or funny enough to be troll posts, but clearly I was mistaken.

That is a terrible excuse for this oversight, but I guess there’s the answer. No, it is NOT included in this set that supposedly “contains the band's whole studio discography.” i wasn’t going to ask a question that can’t be answered, but I can’t help myself. How is the song FTM, not apart of the story of the album FTM? I thought the story at the time of album release was that the song was removed from the album solely for time constraints so it would fit on one CD. It literally fades out with exactly the same music that the first song on the album fades in with, but is “not part of the story.” Okay.

Or, it’s a surprise? Maybe? No? I believe in fairies?

The Mars Volta box or not a true fan of represses.

I think the odds are pretty good. Just my opinion, no inside info.

C’mon, you don’t think some of us have OP’s and didn’t this, too? Get on board this boat. It’s sinking FAST!!!

The only one that has been remixed was tremulant, right? But it’s using the original mix on this. So everything has been remastered. The sad thing is, if it had the song Frances the Mute and had been remastered in a way that would yield better (anything!) SQ, then I think it would be in marketing description, right? also, there were some odds and ends like covers and extra tracks that are not included here. Ugh. Damn, I’m not helping myself here.

This is one depressing boat. I bet it will be cool for any big fan of the band. Still, that price though...

I’m in the same boat. I felt really dumb after I got my confirmation.

No Frances the Mute 12”? Or did they do the right thing this time and ditch the etching and put the song on side A of the triple LP where it belongs?

Not an Offspring fan, but I have come to like this kind of release with a dozen or so variants. I’m not a variant collector for any band anymore, so I get to pick the one I think is the coolest and not worry about the rest. It’s a win for me and a win for the band.

No, the price went up dramatically sometime after TAFH box set came out and they realized people would pay $30 per 12”. Originally Gish was $20 and SD was $25. Now SD goes for $50 list.

Finally! This is the first of the two I want. I don’t care about signed. I’ll order from my local. This through Uh Huh Her are my favorites. Looking forward to the demos.

It’s pretty amazing what the “Deluxe” box sets of this and Facelift contain or really don’t contain. Rare tracks, b-sides, demos, live material, high res, surround, etc. The remix of White Pony is definitely a cool addition. But no other musical extras? I get it, there may be somethings that different fans don’t like (I don’t really care for live material), but to include next to nothing for anybody just seems poorly thought out.

Nah, they’d rather give you an etching.

Yeah, I hate them. But I’ve beat that dead horse.

The RSD version of Sap has an etching just like the MOV pressing. I wonder if this just a repressing of the MOV as a stand alone.

Oh, okay.

Until they quit selling out, maybe?

Maybe. The In Keeping Secrets vinyl remaster just ended up sounding funny, and the Good Apollo wasn’t anything mind blowing. GA sounded fine/good though. Without transparency into that side of production, it’s near impossible for me to accept that something was or wasn’t done based of someone’s perceptions. The way modern music is recorded and produced make it even harder to tell if things were done “right”. I’m way off topic. Enjoy the record.

The 2011 pressing doesn’t include Junesong Provision (Acoustic) or Everything Evil (Demo). The 7” had IRO-bot and Elf Tower New Mexico. I didn’t say the CD or stream sounded bad. I’m not a vinyl purist, or fanatic. Vinyl doesn’t sound better because it’s vinyl, or analog at some point in the massive chain from when it’s recorded to when it hits my ears. Whether something is counterfeit or official, I like to know what it is I’m buying or listening to.

So this counterfeit has the track listing of the reissue CD and the streaming services. At best this is the CD pressed to vinyl, at worst it’s a lossy streaming rip pressed to vinyl.

I also love BoV, and think it sounds great. Abyss on the other hand, despite having some great songs, has terrible production, IMO, and the vinyl doesn’t save it in that regard. It’s actually a tough listen for me. Abyss has the lowest DR of any of her albums. Its so dense, dirty, and supposed to represent this dream like hellscape (so dynamics would seem important) to begin with, no need to ruin it with excessive mixing/mastering.
