itsgoodtobefree Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Pre-order link. One problem: Plain Recordings is doing the releases. These might not ever be pressed again, so maybe someone would like these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aphasias Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yes, please. i am only familiar with his last two albums. how does his earlier material compare? Let It Come Down, which is the one studio album being reissued here, is more similar to the last 2 albums than anything before it, so if you enjoy Songs In A&E and Sweet Heart, Sweet Light than you should like it as well. When you start looking at earlier material (especially the first 2; Lazer Guided Melodies and Pure Phase) the sound is more psychedelic and less radio-friendly and pop influenced (though every album they've done show both sides of their sound). Their third album, Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, seems to be considered their defining album and is worth every bit of hype it receives. Amazing Grace and Sweet Heart, Sweet Light are the two albums I find least memorable. Ladies And Gentlemen... and Songs In A&E are my favorites (I'm not sure how many people agree with me on most of these). The other two being released here are live recordings. Fucked Up Inside I have never heard and Royal Albert Hall I have only listened a couple times (a couple years ago) but remember it being pretty enjoyable. Never got a chance to really take it in. itsgoodtobefree 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinb Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Ladies and Gentleman is one of the worst reissues I have heard. This news blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I thought Plain was gone. Bummer because the Royal Albert Hall record is the last Spiritualized record on my want list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah, I need fucked up inside. I have te plain reissues of the first three and they are passable. I'm surprised J Spaceman doesn't reissue them right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown pleasures Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Ladies and Gentleman is one of the worst reissues I have heard. This news blows. Seriously. Only slightly ahead of Isn't Anything/Loveless, reissued from the same fine folks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Now that these have been out for awhile, does anyone have any opinions on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeKaye Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah, I need fucked up inside. Ages ago I sold this (original press), mint unplayed copy, for about 20 quid. Regretted, bought again a while later, paid 50 for a copy in worse condition. FML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
