Soon? The Mars Volta


Recommended Posts

So it looks like the October pre-order for Deloused is a repress by MOV?

If true I hope I am able to grab one at my local on street date. Variant is very slick and goes much better than the puke variant VMP did.

feels like a site typo but what are the chances they half press green between A & C to ditch their remaining illegal gold stock from 2015?

There was nothing "illegal" about the 2015 press. Cedric was just passed he didn't actually own the rights to his music.

technically it was, not for Cedric but for Omar. At the time, MOV was pressing for Universal Europe as a loophole to Omar's exclusive vinyl rights as stated in their original contract. They weren't aware of the represses until Cedric went on Dean Del Rey's show (or Maron?) and explained the situation, with Dean mentioning how he was about to buy a copy until he saw Cedric's tweet about it being a bootleg. It all seemed sketchy at the time but was ultimately proven by the Cloud's Hill represses. Tremulant and the Summer Session demos were never a part of the contract hence they have been released digitally while all studio albums can only be released by the band on vinyl.

 

ps how can I remember that but still forget to buy dish soap after work today?

Him calling it a bootleg, and it being pressed due to a loophole does not make it illegal. If there wasn't a clause disallowing that pressing in the contract and MOV paid licensing to the owner of the contract (the label) then it isn't illegal. He didn't like it and didn't read the contract closely enough. The Cloud Hill represses that came 5ish years later don't prove anything regarding legality of previous presses.

What do they mean by “indie exclusive”?

What do you mean, “what do they mean by “indie exclusive”?”  Brick and mortar exclusives; Bull Moose, Zia, Rough Trade, and your local indie shops.  How could that be interpreted any other way?

Just read the title of this thread, is something going up for preorder soon from TMV?

Since CH are apparently doing colored indie exclusives, from the looks of it, I imagine that any record could potentially receive a colored variant up for order “soon”.  Fingers crossed for a nice FTM color way.  That glow-in-the-dark ain’t it.

I'd take FTM but for the sake of consistency with my brand I would prefer MTF
