ganaar7575 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Been listening to this all day...ordered this shit quick. One of the best bands and can't wait to have this in my collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrygumguru Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 For some odd reason I don't have a single Samiam album. The songs I've heard by them I've loved, but I just haven't gotten around to getting anything. I decided not to sleep on this and ordered. Hopefully I will not be disappointed.

northernfailure Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I was stoked about this coming out... but I saw a tracklist somewhere and it looked like it was mostly live material. If that's the case then I don't even know if I want it. I don't care so much about have scattered live versions of stuff I already own.

vardcore Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 goddamnit I don't have Fuel on LP and just emailed Matt asking to add one of those to my order This is a good pressing to get. The red and the yellow are very nice. I forget what they are officially named, but that will get you in the pocket. I posted a photo. Of course, for anyone who is a ridiculous UBER-NERD, there are fades within some of the colors. But you have to be a kook to get that particular. And of course, there are plenty of kooks in the hot tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vardcore Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 ha! yeah that red is ridiculous looking! I saw the stacks of records, pulled out the first one I saw (red) and immediately took one. It's been a while since I pulled a copy of "Fuel". I grabbed a yeller one too. -- Note: this will likely be the final pressing of "Fuel" in precisely this form.

dynamitekid Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 What could that mean? Will it only be in 7" box sets from now on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kouka Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 What could that mean? Will it only be in 7" box sets from now on? i heard 5"x11 box set, with half a song on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 one 13" record...unplayable on most record players...so it comes with a download code. Better to display in a frame than to play...call it the ultimate vanity edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to display in a frame than to play...call it the ultimate vanity edition. 13" records play on most turntables. They are only 1/2" beyond a normal record. BUT... I do not know if anyone has actually used the extra inch. The ones I saw were merely 12" of music with extra blank vinyl around the outside. If you were really old school, you'd have a 16" transcription disc player anyway, poseur! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyregret Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Var, will there be a tour pressing of this for when the band hits the road next month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoamgreen Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Tracklisting is definitely disappointing. Mostly a live record. Not that I won't be buying it, but kill some live tracks in lieu of the Astray demos they had on their webiste back in 1999 and I'd be stoked-er.

chiefwahoo Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Just got mine for Unless You Try Records and it's gorgeous. I didn't catch the meanings behind the color breakdowns before, that's a new one. This strictly-limited UK vinyl pressing comes on two different variants, both of which are derived from the band's previous vinyl releases: 2x12"s 'SamStray' split colour -"Samiam" LP originally pressed by New Red Archives on Transparent Purple -"Astray" LP originally pressed by Hopeless Records on Solid White 2x12"s 'ClumDown' splatter wax -"Clumsy" LP originally pressed by Bitzcore Recs on Transparent Red -"Whatever's Got You Down" LP originally pressed by Hopeless Records on Yellow Splatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeagain Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Ordered this. This era of Samiam is in my wheelhouse. Any other era....no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all they were saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
