sirdubblin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Anyone else pick this up from SRC? I didn't know it was getting pressed until I got the email today with the announcement it was up for sale. Not typically a big fan of 'Best of' albums but I don't want to spend over $400 to get the Everclear songs I like on their rare vinyl. http://www.shopradiocast.com/products/Everclear-%252d-The-Very-Best-Of-LP.html Thought I'd throw it up here for anyone else who might be interested! jonnystorm777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Amazon has it cheaper (and by cheaper I mean a lot) I'll grab a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergeantscruffy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The description on Amazon makes me think these are re-recorded versions... so in other words, no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't notice that... but you're right, It does sound that way. I'll let you guys know for sure when it hits my doorstep post 5/13! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaestre Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 It's a mix of re-recorded tracks and covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 so they basically covered their own songs with a cover license since they don't own the original masters. BobbyHill and sergeantscruffy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distinctlydustin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I dislike most of the songs. Just give me their first two LPs, and then I'll be happy. Anyway, I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samehardluckx Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 One of my first purchases as a vinyl collector was a blue variant of So Much For The Afterglow, so thankfully I won't need this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, their first 2 albums are definitely the best. I'd prefer those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasingbreakers Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 so they basically covered their own songs with a cover license since they don't own the original masters. They totally replaced the rest of the band, outside of the lead singer Art, so these aren't even the same artists who played on the original versions. I'd definitely pass on this -- and SRC should update their listing to reflect that fact (especially given their refusal to give cash refunds for cancellations). distinctlydustin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC would never give information that would make them sell less! Sort of how their "limited color version" thing is usually the least limited in the first place.

futures Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 so they basically covered their own songs with a cover license since they don't own the original masters. This is pretty common among bands in that era. Toad the Wet Sprocket had to do something similar recently. They rerecorded a bunch of their own songs around the Dulcinea era and released it on iTunes about a year or two ago. They were locked in their contract from their label and that was the only way they could own their songs again. Pretty shitty situation. Though, for Toad, the rerecorded versions sound better than the originals! Talented dudes in that band. I saw Everclear two summers ago because nostalgia... his lisp is muuuuch more prominent live these days. Can't unhear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum7 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Only album I'd really like to have is "So much for the afterglow." Played that so much back in the day. World of Noise and Sparkle & Fade wouldn't be bad either. After that I lost interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasingbreakers Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Wow, wasn't aware that Art is the only one left. Yeah, the original lineup was together from 1994-2004, the other 2 members left after the "Slow Motion Daydream" tour. If they ever press "Ten Years Gone: The Best of Everclear 1994-2004", that's the compilation to buy (it has the original recordings) -- but given the status of the band these days, I doubt Capitol will invest to make that happen.

If 2 original members left at the same time I would imagine some big sort of falling out happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two times I've seen Everclear, Art was too drunk to play/sing correctly. It was fucking embarrassing. The first time I saw them was great, back when they had the original line up. It doesn't help that these new dudes all look like Motley Crüe rejects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
