overdue Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm really happy this being released through Geoff's label. Word, super stoked they're doing this. I also never had an copy of this on vinyl myself, excited to get on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dying in New Brunswick (Demo) 7” Side B 3. Mass as Shadows (Previously Unreleased) “Of all the passionate, soul-baring young guitar bands slogged together under the emo heading, Thursday are the darkest and most powerful.” — Rolling Stone On December 7, 1999, the then-fledgling Eyeball Records released the debut album by New Jersey band called Thursday. Waiting, in itself, made modest waves during its initial release, but as the band prepared its follow-up—2001’s breakthrough Full Collapse—Thursday’s debut quickly became more of a herald than an introduction: This is the sound of a band in the middle of a discovery process that would eventually take them to legendary status around the world. Having officially gone out of print when Eyeball ceased operations, Waiting has been unavailable in physical, digital, and streaming formats since 2012. But this year, on the fifteenth anniversary of its release, Collect Records is finally giving this classic album the special deluxe edition reissue package it deserves. Waiting: The 15-Year Anniversary Edition features the original album remastered and repackaged with a die-cut sleeve, original liner notes, and a bonus 7” EP featuring previously unreleased demos from this period—including one neverbefore-released song. • Fully remastered by Heba Kadry (The Mars Volta, Nothing, Future Islands, …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead) • Additional 7” and CD bonus tracks featuring previously unreleased demos and “Mass as Shadows”—a never-before-heard song. • Deluxe repackaging featuring the iconic Thursday dove logo on a die-cut jacket (on LP and CD versions), original liner notes, and complete lyrics • A music video for “Mass as Shadows” is scheduled to coincide with release overdue and eshame 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eshame Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 i don't hate the new cover art, just not a big fan of reissues with new art but whatever. the die-cut is cool though. take my money TheGhostOfRandySavage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallowken78 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Interesting that they're going to release a video for Mass as Shadows....wonder if we might see a Thursday reunion show on the horizon. Also, interesting little tidbit. I actually lived in the same house as Thursday did when they recorded this album, albeit 2 or 3 years later. They were touring behind Full Collapse while I was there and blowing up. Since they had listed their address in the liner notes of Waiting we would often receive fan mail for them at our residence. I think I still have a few pieces saved in a box somewhere. Also made me really angry to know how many bands I grew to adore got their start playing in the basement of the place I lived lol.

suchashorttime Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I wish Collect would reissue UN - S/T. i think eyeball has vinyl rights to it. a few years ago the eyeball dude surfaced around here saying he had a bunch left but his online store got hacked so orders weren't being processed blah blah blah. but a few of us scored new copies that way. don't know if there are more or if the pressing is gone. it's one of UN's bigger mysteries...

ejc625 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Actually just ordered a copy of their S/T the other day still new for a very good price. Hoping the pre-order for this shows up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who runs Eyeball is very close to Geoff - hence the reason Waiting is getting a repress on Collect. Self-titled copies of United Nations will be for sale one day - might be a repress or leftover copies, but its coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self-titled copies of United Nations will be for sale one day - might be a repress or leftover copies, but its coming. A couple months after Collect started back up Geoff tweeted that he was going to sell some first presses of UN and "To the Beat of a Dead Horse" that he had laying around. They sat in the store for a while as "coming soon" but never went on sale as far as I could tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
