Do it quickly before I lose interest again

My Plain copy actually doesn't sound too bad? I'll probably get this because I'm trying to purge my collection of all Plains, but this one they didn't mess up at all.

Cautiously interested... would depend on the era(s) included.

I missed J in Provincetown by like 2 days. He did karaoke at a bar on Commercial St that we walked by every night on vacation. I probably would have fainted if I saw him in there singing Don't Do Me Like That in person. One of these years his and my vacations will collide in Cape Cod.

Love my MOFI Surfer Rosa... can't justify $50 for the live show (though it looks killer)

love Nick Cave don't care. ordered. missed him on this tour... how have they been playing Jubilee Street this time round? Saw him on Push the Sky Away tour and it ripped

it's bottom feeding. they are inject themselves as middle men into a process that doesn't need them at all. most of these records would sell out anyway, likely to people who really want to have them, without the flipper putting themselves into the mix. they just make it harder for everyone else and contribute to an artificial mark-up in price to make a few bucks.

I ride hard for the Speed Racer movie. It's insanely entertaining. Pretty sure watching it on mushrooms would be a life altering experience.

Shit is jokes. GnR became a corporation a long time ago and this pricing just re-emphasizes that.

Some details and photos. I'm really into the idea of this, but the elaborate box is a joke. Just give me the 7 LP box like the recent Liz Phair set for $100. https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/05/guns-n-roses-to-release-deluxe-edition-of-appetite-for-destruction/ A total of 73 tracks (49 of which are unreleased) are spread out across four CDs and seven 12-inch 180-gram LPs. The original album has been remastered from the original analog tapes and will be presented across two LPs. Also included are a pressing of 1986’s Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide EP, a second EP containing B-sides from the era, and 25 unreleased recordings from the band’s 1986 Sound City sessions and two unreleased tracks from their sessions with producer Mike Clink. The super deluxe version also boasts a 96-page handbound book with unreleased photos from Axl Rose’s personal archive, 12 new illustration lithos visualizing each song from Appetite For Destruction, and replica memorabilia from the era. See a few screen grabs from the unboxing video (which has since been deleted) below.

Got a shipping notice for the vinyl box from Matador this morning. They are usually early with stuff, but was surprised to see it so soon. Of course, it could just be the label is ready and it will sit for a week somewhere before moving.

I got this from Amazon this week... seems to be the same as the old press as far as I can tell. Amazing record!

cool loser color... wish the END sessions were a separate LP and not just digital.

OK that would get me to double dip and replace my original. Those live tracks are some of my favorites ever.

People have been saying this for years.

To be fair, outside of Middle Cyclone, she hasn't had a good cover since Blacklisted.

This is cool... nice price for a 7 LP set too.

Kings Road sux. Will wait on a legit preorder elsewhere. I'll need this on release day, not 2 weeks later.

better than last year's list so far, but still nothing to make me get out of bed at 5 am yet.

5 days till Billy starts growing his hair back? that's the only reunion I care about.

If they are charging that much for shipping to the US, there's no way this should take 28 days or whatever they claim on their website. Economy shipping for 2 records from the UK should not cost $36 in any universe. They better be using some kind of express/priority delivery.

some folks on the Steve Hoffman forum have reported these are shipping. still no sign of being able to order elsewhere yet...

Yeah I ordered a signed version of Frosting. Will probably get a regular copy of Amazing Disgrace (pretty happy with the MOV Dear 23, but may spring for the 2LP set here too). Very happy these are coming finally.

It was near the end of the initial alternative rock boom and there was waning interest in this kind of music. in 2 years, we'd have to deal with the likes of limp bizkit, puddle of mudd, creed, et al. which would be the beginning of the end of rock music and pop culture in general. good record, though. I had an original that I had to sell a couple years ago. looking forward to having it back in my collection.
