fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Stoked for this one! Looks like after some delays, it’s shipping early/mid August. http://porterhouserecords.com/store/germs/mia.html We're taking you back to the good old days but with a cool twist. In a Worldwide debut The Germs (MIA) The Complete Anthology hits vinyl for the VERY FIRST TIME! Porterhouse will deliver an rejuvenated MIA that's completely re-mastered and re-sequenced for vinyl. The album GI will appear as one 12" LP and the other LP will see the complete original sequence of the "What We Do Is Secret" EP, including the Live version of "The Other Newest One" and previously deleted live dialogue from lead singer Darby Crash. You'll now be able to experience the EP as it was actually intended to be heard. HUGE! Additionally, songs recovered from the "Cruising" Motion Picture Soundtrack and the band's early 7"s will complete the flip-side of the second LP in the anthology. Additionally, songs recovered from the "Cruising" Motion Picture Soundtrack and the band's early 7"s will complete the flip-side of the second LP in the anthology. The initial pressing of "The Complete Anthology" will consist of a two LP set featuring black and blue vinyl with reverse labels. The package will also include the original liner notes. Production of MIA has been delayed due to Covid-19 related plant closures forced by stay-at-home orders. However, we are elated to report that production has finally begun. Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound is currently re-mastering and cutting lacquers for this epic release and we'll be heading to plating shortly!

lexicondevil Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Interesting. I obviously already have GI on vinyl and I have MIA on cd. Not feeling really compelled to buy this. If they did some cool screen printed covers or something, that would be tempting. Edited July 15, 2020 by lexicondevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Definitely in for this. I'm glad I didn't spring for the deluxe reissue for the Cruising soundtrack just for the Germs songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely report back once they start shipping and let you know if it was worth it. They’re one of few bands that I’m a completist towards.. bootlegs, live stuff, etc. so I couldn’t pass it up. Like @glass realms mentioned. It has the newly found ‘Cruising’ masters. I bought the soundtrack reissue and the songs sound so good. Way better than the ones on the MIA cd. lexicondevil and glass realms 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the OG Lexicon Devil 45? I was hellbent on getting that at one point, then they flooded the market with a bunch of good boots, so I just gave up. For whatever reason, I don't get excited about colored pressings of old jazz or punk. Would like to know if you think it's worth it after you receive. fuckinandsuckinandtouchin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldKentuckyShark Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 This is pretty much all you need as a Germs fan. I’ve put off buying GI to wait on this. Will definitely pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had that kind of $$$ to drop, definitely. I have a boot on red vinyl/red sleeve and one of those RSD ones that some AU label released. Same goes for ‘Forming’.. I have like a 4th pressing haha. Had to grab an og pressing of GI and What We Do Is Secret when I discovered the band, but I don’t bother with the new colored Rhino reissues or anything like that.

NapalmBrain Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I preordered right away this is looking to be D2C too unless it's a small distro my shop doesn't use. My rep asked around and no one had a clue and they were listed as a distro on Porterhouse's site. The first pressing is only 1000 copies. It's everything, it's all analog and Ryan Smith is mastering it (he is as good as Gray/Hoffman/Bellman). G.I. is out of print and What We Do Is Secret is overpriced for an EP. Seemed like a no brainer to me, you could sell your rhino, buy this and have money leftover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put off buying a copy of (GI) like five years ago cuz I figured it would always be around at $15 and then the price went up and I just kept waiting to find one in a used bin at the $15 price point but never did. Definitely been a hole in my collection for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really never listened to MIA so I don't know what would be on it that I wouldn't have.. I am a sucker for a cool repress on color but it seems unnecessary if I have the orig three. thoughts?

Definitely been a hole in my collection for a while now. That’s how I feel about 90% of punk and metal essentials. I can usually come up on some stuff I’ve been looking for, but it takes years. Kind of been a bummer, how much stuff I don’t have in my collection because of that. DecayToDeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My og sounds fine, but I hear this label does it right with their reissues. Which color sleeve do you have on your Lexicon? Just curious 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I got my copy today and it was worth the wait. Obviously not an audiophile release but Ryan Smith did a great job as always. It's a single pocket jacket with a 2 sided insert. Disc 1 is standard black Disc 2 is a Blue/Black Marble. Both discs were flat but off center. Disc 2 was not as bad but it was a tight squeeze on to the spindle on disc 1. This is a great way to get all their stuff in one purchase (minus live and studio outtakes). I'd highly recommend ordering a copy if you have not done so already. There have been some really great reissues this year and this up there as one of my favorites thus far. iDealélan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathPeak Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Yeah, my discs were slightly off center as well. Overall, I'm happy though! Edited November 11, 2020 by DeathPeak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
