Cloudsbelow Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I prefer the box version to my OG UK pressing of Pinkerton. Nevermind isn't that great in the expanded edition, but they nailed it with In Utero. That turned out so great. I didnt mean the expanded nevermind.. (or pixies?) i meant the mofi remasters of the pixies and nirvanas - nevermind didnt really hit the mark, sucked the balls out of them.. whereas weezer never really had BALLS to have sucked out of them..

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I personally love the 4LP version. Tragic Girl is a great song and you can hear a lot of vocal melodies from Butterfly and at least another song I can't place in it... kind of helps give an idea of how the whole intended album would have featured recurring themes like a proper opera.

serum7 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Is there a reasonably high quality and properly sequenced version of Songs From the Black Hole out there anywhere? If anyone doesn't know what it is, it's the originally planned "rock opera" that Pinkerton was supposed to me with tons of tracks cut from what became Pinkerton... I'm sure there's a better explanation, but that's all I've got at 8 am. Here are a couple of interpretations of what it theoretically would've sounded like. One is pretty basic, the other is expanded upon with a big write up. Short version: Long version: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear a ton of "Pink Triangle" and "Falling For You," melody-wise, in "Tragic Girl." Really the entire B-side of Pinkerton. I am still astonished that "Tragic Girl" not only went unheard for almost 15 years but literally no one even remembered it existed. sergeantscruffy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shameful Dread Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have the MoFi version and it's one of if not the best sounding records I own. No noise, very clear, I love it. I need this so bad. The drum production on Pinkerton blows my mind to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerohacker Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I need this so bad. The drum production on Pinkerton blows my mind to this day. Everytime I've gone in the studio to record bass or drums I've always tried to get the tones from this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vinyl Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Have the Pinkerton deluxe vinyl and adore it ---- this just reminds me that a Blue Album deluxe vinyl really needs to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Finally picked up a copy of blue on MFSL , it's numbered in the 15000's. Not a complaint just made me laugh that they went through the trouble of numbering these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smailtronic Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I always wondered how many of those were pressed I think it's the only #ed record I own that I don't know the pressing #s They've repressed Blue MoFi a couple times. I seem to remember hearing that the original pressings were in the neighborhood of 3000. As of July 31, here's what they'd soundscanned. Blue - 6,675 Pinkerton - 2,192 Green - 1,191 Lion And The Witch - 649 Make Believe - 505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Can't link since I'm on my phone, but they're still on sale on MoFi's site OUT OF STOCK. That didn't take long, I'll attribute it to this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 MoFi will keep pressing and numbering as many releases as they can make while they have the rights. That's why you're seeing Blue records in the 15,000s. They aren't "limited" per se unless they lose the rights (like Sea Change). psus2h 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of it as being similar to MOV, rarely do you see something MOV do go completely OOP. It might be OOS, but I'd imagine they are in the process of producing more copies.

ejc625 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Was going to purchase this, but decided to get the MoFi version instead. As much as I would like to have all the bonus material, I don't feel like I would be listen to it enough to justify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Grabbed the MoFi copy from Barnes & Noble with a 15% discount code, figured I would before it vanishes for a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RecruitingGuy Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just got my copy of Weezer Blue today - also numbered in the 15000's. I'll be content with my Deluxe version of Pinkerton, thanks to this thread. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsgoodtobefree Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Speaking of which, who the fuck has the rights to Sea Change nowadays? I'm guessing Universal Music Group? They released the last reissue of Sea Change, which was on Blu-Ray audio in late 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I emailed MoFi regarding Pinkerton, they have indicated that it is still in print, but because of the backlog at RTI, they don't have a solid estimate, but are loosely guessing 4-6 weeks.
