GreatGreenOne77 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Seems to be about the same quality jacket and insert that Live at Biko has. I was thinking the days of nice gatefolds with other people's art work are past now in favor of easier packaging made with Kozelek's own camera phone snaps. Gotta cut out more hands trying to take from the cash pot...Glad to know the pressing quality is good though, perhaps that's thanks to Rough Trade?

spoon Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Not sure if it saves a couple of bucks compared to other places but Amoeba has the new reissues (including Blue Guitar) in stock as well as 15% off all weekend with the code AUG1515R, free shipping too. Sorry if this has already been mentioned or doesn't make make of a difference price-wise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I picked up a copy of "Blue Guitar" today at a local shop. I haven't compared the sound, however the packaging on the Plain version is much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't compared the sound, however the packaging on the Plain version is much nicer. For anyone concerned that they used the same plates or mastering as the Plain version, the new version says "Mastered By Capitol" in the matrix. EDIT: Compared both my blue vinyl Plain copy against the new Island pressing. There isn't a huge difference in sound. The Island may be slightly better (a little more clear without being overly bright), but it's not a huge difference. The Plain packaging is MUCH nicer. I'll probably be selling my Plain copy.

Yea I must say I'm jealous over that Admiral. Black is the only color I'm missing, but it's always way higher than I'm willing to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Snagged an Admiral for $25 off eBay a year or two ago. Did best offer on a BIN of $70 just messing around and they took it. GreatGreenOne77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works out like that sometimes. I picked up my 1st pressing of Ocean Beach along those same lines. Guy had it up on eBay so I messaged him right after he listed offering to buy it for double what he had for the opening bid which was in the $70ish dollar range, but he declined (this was like 01-02). So, after 6 days I end up winning it from him for like $30ish... should have taken my first offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I picked up a copy of "Blue Guitar" today at a local shop. I haven't compared the sound, however the packaging on the Plain version is much nicer. Yeah but the Plain version literally sounded like the CD with extra pops & ticks. You can't listen to artwork. Hopefully Island figured out how to master a record as Blue Guitar needs a decent press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator Jr. Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Blue Guitar is not being distributed around here (yet?), so I just ordered a copy from some online shop for a decent 25€ shipped. Hopefully it arrives soon, I can't wait to properly complain about the sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it arrives soon, I can't wait to properly complain about the sleeve. Thing could be in a paper bag that says "Red House Painters" on it and I'd be happy. Glad that I've been able to knock out almost all the RHP releases this year (and most of the SKM I'm missing too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesewoodenideas Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Not at all! I bought it at an ebayshop called marvelio. They claimed it was their last copy, but I wouldn't take that at face value.. Thanks for the info. I haven't received an email from amazon.com yet but looking for a fallback in case. Hopefully these start flowing into europe pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
