coolio Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 via Modern Vinyl As part of Record Store Day 2015, The Hold Steady will reportedly be reissuing a couple of full length albums, beginning with Boys and Girls In America. It looks like this one last came to vinyl in 2007, according to Discogs, and will be on purple or white vinyl for the RSD reissue. Meanwhile, Heaven Is Whenever will actually make its second appearance on an RSD list. This was previously released in 2010 as part of the celebration and was a “first release,” which meant it went wide that following May. This reissue will reportedly be on 180-gram red vinyl.

timsimmons Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Reissuing HiW is random. Is it even OOP? Surprised they aren't doing SS and AKM. rue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckula Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 There must be a reason for the first two records not being reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Reissuing HiW is random. Is it even OOP? Surprised they aren't doing SS and AKM. Boys and Girls will be nice, but yeah, come on already and reissue Separation Sunday. Their debut too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdj26 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Reissuing HiW is random. Is it even OOP? Surprised they aren't doing SS and AKM. Yea, in all fairness Boys and Girls + HiW both needed represses. They're actually getting harder to come by. Unfortunately, both sound like shit so if it's the same plates, I wouldn't go crazy trying to hunt one down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnstiles Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'm so mad about no SS and AKM. I lovvvvved those albums when I owned them, and they sounded amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oojavaguru Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 This was already being discussed in the RSD thread. Plus, everything that Modern Vinyl is getting their info from is the same source used here in the RSD thread---the Wax Poetic blog. deletedunknown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Crosley Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I absolutely love BaGiA - HiW is okay, but I'm not rushing out to get it. I think the reason that SS and AKM aren't being repressed - compared to the fact that the other two are - is different record labels. Both of those early Hold Steady records were on Frenchkiss, which, based on some basic Discogs research, haven't done much to repress a lot of their bands' albums, causing the values to be way high, especially for the first two Hold Steady, Passion Pit, Lifter Puller (Craig Finn's old band), and some other bands. Edit: actually, both SS and AKM were released on vinyl by Women Records, which appears, at least according to Discogs, to have one other release. May be a matter of where the licensing rights are. Although I have no idea how that works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah, they probably have to get them recut. It's easier to repress the Vagrant releases since they don't need new mothers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ok. Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Would anyone be able to grab me a copy of Boys and Girls, pretty please? I won't be near any records stores on RSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Rsd is in 3 months. I would ask closer to the actual day . I wonder if this will be a vagrant release or sabot. I thought the sabot repress of this sounded so dull and lifeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
