I wasn't eying the exact drops and rollouts for the last couple in this thread. I'm conflicted because the VMP L&G is such a beauty, in my opinion. Great variant. Awesome packaging. Very solid quality through and through. I'm quite content with it and don't exactly feel like I need to upgrade... but it's going to be such a standout on the shelf with the consistent design on the spines of these reissues.

timsimmons Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Well, if it isn't up now, It will probably be Monday. Yeah, I'm leaning towards not buying it. Its gonna be the same cut as the VMP version, so unless there is something extra special about it, I'll probably pass. I assume shirt wise, its gonna be these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glass realms Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Nice. I could definitely pass on the LAG reissue then. I can stick with my VMP press and OG press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldKentuckyShark Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Definitely buying because I opted not to pay for the VMP version. ill be most pleased with this and hopefully at a price less than the VMP one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason shirts from the past are still around, and for the most part in decent condition, are because they were built to last. Everyone is going to realize they were printing on crappy ill fitting cheese cloth soon. A lot already have. I’ll take a medium that fits like a medium, and doesn’t have stupid droopy neck, that’s for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyEnemy Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) But all that aside... the VMP pressing is sooo nice, on all levels. But, I love this record so much, l’ll definitely be picking this because of the different cover art and because the Fat Possum pressings have, overall, been pretty awesome too. If I haven’t said this enough on here, I’m a fucking idiot and love to waste money. Edited July 24, 2021 by MyEnemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I stare at the cover, the more hoaky I think it looks. If the tablets / dispenser were outlined were simply outlined – so just some white lines against the dark blue, super minimal – I think it would look 10x’s cleaner, and still stay true to what they were going for. Ah well. I’m just very curious to see what that “nebula blue” ends up being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I feel like this would have been the better version. Then foil emboss the sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s so much they could’ve done with the cover, gatefold and insert art. There’s so much actual media for this release, that’s all adjacent and corresponding, it’s fucking crazy. I remember first discovering this and all the singles, and just being blown away with all the attention to detail that was taken with it all. Made me love the record even more.

Eliminator Jr. Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Yeah, changing the iconic cover art is a dealbreaker for me. With VMP not being a option, here’s hoping a solid repress is somewhere on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a shirt that has the life span of 4 years but has all the softness to shirt that feels naturally starched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldKentuckyShark Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 These reissues were curated by J Spaceman which includes choosing the covers. I’m not going to argue with him on those. But I also understand those not wanting to double dip after getting the VMP one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwokeinrelief Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'm not really taken with the new cover - in part because this has been one of my favorite albums for over 20 years and I'm just used to old cover, and in part because I just don't think this is an improvement - but even setting that to the side it feels like a really weird move to change the cover but still use the original cover for the shirts. Regardless I bought one + a shirt; even having the VMP pressing I do want to make sure I get a copy of each reissue in this program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
