deftbarley Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) The Rentals put out a new song. I think they're announcing something today. Hopefully an album and pre-order. Yesterday, Matt Sharp posted a clip of smokey and the bandit captioned "tomorrow..." I'm looking forward to this. I know he was working with Nick Zinner, Ronnie Vannucci, and Dave Fridmann Edit: Just saw this go up - https://therentals.bandcamp.com/ First pressing on Translucent Gold colored vinyl for advance orders. limited to 500 copies only available here!

Odds are it is because Warner owns everything. As long as they don't burn down the warehouse that holds the masters. Plarocks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Sharp had previously said that the 1st album (maybe the 2nd as well, can't recall) would be coming to vinyl at some point, but that was quite a while back now. Think maybe in 2016 with an early 2017 expected release, so a long while back! As they came out on Maverick/Reprise they would have been Warners, so I'd assume they still own the rights.

glass realms Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I get that Matt is probably financing this entire album but $37 shipped for a single LP is a bit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2xLP. I wonder if they're only pressing 500 or if there will be a black version to follow? There's probably not much margin left after pressing and shipping 500 double albums. Probably just enough to pay to get them made and have someone ship them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeCeCe Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Yeah comes to about £45 shipped to the UK, too high for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the wording it sounds like black/other versions will be available nearer the release date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Whoops. Missed the bit about it being a double LP. He'll most definitely sell through 500 copies though. He has enough of a fanbase to do so. But I'll wait for a bigger pressing/cheaper version. Definitely looking forward to the vinyl pressing of ROTR though. It sounds like it's already been (re)mastered for vinyl. Hopefully it happens sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Not too sure about the Space Western concept, or the first track. Lost in Alphaville was a miss for me, so I'll wait to hear the full thing before doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unravelled Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Personally, I thought Lost in Alphaville was a really good album. Def need presses of the 1st 2. smailtronic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def need presses of the 1st 2. Lost In Alphaville was a real slow burn but nostalgia aside, it's probably the most solid front to back. The sound and feel of return is tough to beat but the songs themselves are better now, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deftbarley Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 It seems that I'm the only one into this but the full album was released today and it's really great. It's nothing like the old stuff. Not that it's a good or bad thing, just different. First pressing sold out but there's going to be more. Just posting this in case there's any other fans out there...
