TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Meh. If they did the bonus disc as a standalone, I'd probably even pay $12-14 for it, which is the real bummer here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stranaspank Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'll get it with some other things on Friday. Bummed there's no package deal with some other goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidamnesiac Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm actually really stoked that there are no frills on this release. That photo makes it look like it'll be a pretty sweet bound book gatefold also, well worth the price in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the book part is actually part of what turned me off to it though. :/ It's just one more thing to worry about as far as damage and it makes it take up more space.

kidamnesiac Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 ...but damage and records taking up too much space is the nature of the hobby! TheGhostOfRandySavage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethdavid Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I was kinda hoping for some tracks I had never heard before, or more of an insight into the making of The Ugly Organ. Maybe there's more in there that we haven't seen yet but for now I'm holding off. Edit: On the link to it, it does say Features booklet with photos from the band's archives, album art sketches, show posters, liner notes, and more. Includes 8 additional tracks from the era. So maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danionly Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Ya know, I'm just really happy this was repressed and doesn't seem to be limited, so those who don't have an original press can enjoy this album. kjkenney and Hairy Potter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I like the way it looks too and the price seems fair enough if you factor in the booklet. I'm not going to jump at getting this, since I already have a copy, but I would like to pick it up at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'll probably buy this given I don't have a copy of it at all. I was hoping SCR would have done a cool variant but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I bought this for 3 reasons: 1) it was an excuse to pick up Burst and Bloom, too 2) I don't have the OG 3) 8 teeth on vinyl. I think this rerelease will be worth it (plus I have been patiently waiting since the "announcement" 1.5 years ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoamgreen Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Wait, $24 for a 2XLP is a bitchable crime now? Seems fair to me to upgrade my well-worn green copy plus get the 8 Teeth tracks (also to support the band and label directly). Order placed post-haste. davepriz, Hairy Potter and Fowty Dollaz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchashorttime Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 yea, i wasn't even going to weigh in here, but i bought on the spot. saddle creek always produces reasonably priced, high-quality records. i've never been let down. plus the hand-written thank you notes are an excellent pleasantry. 2xLP with book, reimagined artwork, with the bonus of old EP tracks... $24 was easy.

petgrief Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 We're really excited that this is finally happening. I've personally been looking at the layout of this--and what was going into it--for the last year. I'm biased of course, but I think the $23 price is reasonable. It's a double 180-gram LP. The jacket is a tip-on gatefold, and the 15 page booklet is glued in. Similar to how the deluxe Mama, I'm Swollen was set up. The titles on front and back are in clear spot gloss UV. I'm looking at the print sample here and I think it's really cool. We talked about colored vinyl, but ultimately the band wanted to go with black to match the new black cover art. The reason behind changing the cover art was to put the focus on the organ keys, the iconic part of the artwork. Just let that stand alone. I think it was a good choice. Again, biased, but I think the extras in the booklet are really interesting. There's full size sketches that Tim did for the original cover design (multiple organ drawings), a large scan of an original mastering tape case with funny notes from Mike Mogis, large scans of three pages of Tim's original lyrics notebook for the album, a bunch of photos that haven't ever been shared before, full lyrics for the album and additional tracks, and the other stuff mentioned in the press release. Oh, there's a drawing of Tim's of a "bear and cave" that Matt Maginn told me is basically a hairy dick and a vagina. The cave is noted as "burned and dry" so that doesn't sound very appealing. The LP labels list the additional tracks on LP2 as "The Ugly Organ Extended," so we were able to get that dick joke in there. If you're interested, there's a limited silkscreen poster of the new cover art, and a limited shirt from the UO era up on our online store (saddle-creek.com). Thanks for allowing me to shamelessly plug. batman and seafoamgreen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 any chance of some of the earlier stuff getting a repress? would really like "such blinding stars" and "storms of early summer" without breaking the bank. also wish early good life was saddle creek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the black original copy. I'm going to wait and see what pressing quality and everything looks like on this, plus I like the old cover, so I probably won't sell it. It was a solid suggestion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Such Blinding Stars was put out on Krank! who are somewhat defunct, but I believe still own the rights. Not sure about Storms.

Unless you have a really old copy which was on black to begin with. The green came out afterwards. But that plan isn't a bad one at all Atlas. Good way to justify the purchase.
