fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Bowie actually recorded 5 more demos after this album was finished hoping to release another.. here's a good read from Tony Visconti they published Wednesday. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/david-bowie-planned-post-blackstar-album-thought-he-had-few-more-months-20160113?utm_source=newsletter&utm_content=daily&utm_campaign=011416_16&utm_medium=email Not a huge fan of Rolling Stone (I can take it or leave it), but will most likely pick up the Bowie dedicated issue for sure.

I would be terrible probably asking for this, but I want to hear this material sometime in the future. Also I'm still hoping that Damon as Gorillaz had gotten Bowie in the studio especially because there were rumors of a collab for the new Gorillaz album.

Rottengoth Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Walked into my local store the other day and they had 3 copies, grabbed one and hid it in the clearance since I had about 5 dollars in my account, went back when I got paid and they sold the other two grabbed the one I hid and purchased it. Glad I did because the girl at the desk said some dude bought the 2 copies and was hoping they had more. Probably to flip. The night of his death my friends and I were having a party and one of them had bought it and stuck it on the turntable, we were all drinking and all really enjoying the record, about an hour later my friend comes inside, turns the music down and says "Guys, Bowie just past away" it was such a horrible moment for all of us. The rest of the night was one huge Bowie playlist. KingTacoMunster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Those 5 demos have been known about for a bit now. I believe they will be released in the near future as a Deluxe Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not terrible at all, I think he'd want everyone to hear what he had in mind before he passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeKaye Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just called about the phone order I placed a couple days ago for the clear version. He said they were still looking for a vendor that had one. The way he was talking, it sounded like more of the clear are going to be pressed. Given the very specific numbers quoted for clear initially, I would be surprised if so, and he was probably mistaken...but anything can happen I suppose.

mellowtooth Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Given the very specific numbers quoted for clear initially, I would be surprised if so, and he was probably mistaken...but anything can happen I suppose. not to mention there's literally no possible way that a Barnes and noble sales rep would know the label's future pressing plans. he was probably referring to that more of the album on vinyl in general would be produced, which is a guarantee.

phil1031 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 What are the chances that all 5000 haven't been pressed yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 What are the chances that all 5000 haven't been pressed yet? Pretty much nonexistent. Eliminator Jr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil1031 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Haha, sorry, I probably have no clue what I'm talking about. I just figured maybe they were still in the process of putting the 5000 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Its not that uncommon though, just discovered on another forum that the Music Matters jazz re-issues which are limited to 3500 copies each are pressed in multiple runs (each run is until the lacquer wears out - 1000 copies or so). If the patch sells out (might take years), they take the next lacquer and press some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 A lacquer has a limited pressing life. If something is limited to xxxx you can bet they pressed that many, possibly yding multiple lacquer/stampera. Not half to see if it sells but still call it a run of xxxx.

dantheriver Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Ok but what if the plant was running behind like always and it was almost release date? For smaller labels they just say "sorry everything is delayed" but I could see them shipping out a portion of the total pressing for a release like this. Not saying this is what happened, just saying it doesn't sound too unrealistic. dutchflowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear801 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Some stores are either just getting their order or they're getting more. Like i said my local store had four arrive yesterday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnelltech Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 My niece just stopped by with a black copy for me. She works for BN and had special ordered it for me after the sell out. Looking forward to finally giving this a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 A bunch of BN stores by me in MI show the black in stock as of today. None of them had it listed yesterday. So as others have said they are definitely still receiving shipments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The Barnes and Noble website said my local store had it in stock, I drove out and all 5 copies are reserved for one person. Fucking flippers. They would not even let me try to talk them into selling me a single copy. Assholes. jack8urt0n 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomanyrecords Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 If anyone happens to have an extra clear they could sell or trade, PM me. Bummed I didn't get one. stl_ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector53 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Cancelled my processing order cause that clear is never coming now. Time to wait for everyone to quit freaking out over the regular copies. It's crazy how people are spending/searching on those regular copies especially since it was a new record and a routine repress was already going happen no matter what.

fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I just called B&N for kicks and she told me the clear was on backorder. I got a standard at my local place so I'm not too mad, but their shipping system is a bit out of whack since I definitely grabbed a copy when it was available. I'll keep the order open though.. who knows, maybe it'll show up one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no guarantee that the repress is exactly the same, anything is possible - the worst one is probably that its given to GZ and some inhouse engineer cuts this from the CD. I still dont get how they can repress this so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
