retrospectacle Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 So, I just discovered today that the Love Is Hell has been pulled from Lost Highway's list of scheduled 10th anniversary clear vinyl reissues. WTF?!?! Big Easy, you got any insight???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japes Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hopefully it's so they can fix the potentially shit sound this thing would've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadetapplesauce Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hopefully it's so they can fix the potentially shit sound this thing would've had. the release scheduled for september (hank williams i think) is still coming out. there were some murmurs on RAA about it possibly being about ryan signing to capitol, but i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, since ryan has already cut ties with universal/lost highway.

imaxcowboyx Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 sweet. a repress of some hank songs we can get at the flea market for a dollar. and this is coming from the dude who spent that dollar at said flea markets =) but if love is hell is pulled completely, this is fucking bullshit.

Japes Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I already have the Story of Hank Williams box set, so I couldn't give a shit. Haha. But yeah, if Love Is Hell is pulled then whatever, I guess. I wasn't going to buy it if it sounded terrible anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahigby Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I am SOOOO bummed out about this. I've been waiting all year for this repress. I hope it comes out at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itmustbereal Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I guess this is a blessing, since the other LH clear releases have horrible sound. Still need Hotel Chelsea Nights on vinyl.... to Ebay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebambino Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Wondering if it has something to do with him signing with Capital for the new record... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectivemike Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Just realized this never came out... I've got the 10"s but they're all beat up, I was looking forward to having another copy. Also does anybody remember if they had a pre-order for this? If they did I'm pretty sure Lost Highway owes me some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he had any say in whether or not this got cancelled. Also Rock N Roll was cancelled as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what I figured, I'd be surprised if Ryan was the reason it didn't come out... not because he hated the quality of Gold, but because he and Lost Highway had/have such a strained relationship. My Rock N Roll is still holding up though, so I'm fine with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkticon Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Can't blame him. The Gold repress on Clear is laughably bad. Really wish I could have a copy of Love Is Hell though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamason56 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I didn't think Pnemonia was all that terrible though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobfrombob Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You must have got lucky (or I got unlucky). My clear Pnemonia from Lost Highway is the worst record I have ever heard (at least in terms of a brand new record). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfreliable Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I really wanted to pick up Pnemonia, but have heard nothing but terrible things about the LH anniversary series so I avoided it. Sucks that such a great album got such mediocre treatment all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madtired Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You must have got lucky (or I got unlucky). My clear Pnemonia from Lost Highway is the worst record I have ever heard (at least in terms of a brand new record). Either you got a shitty copy or I'm not as discerning. Sounds perfectly acceptable to me. Is it the greatest pressing of all time? no -- but certainly passable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llamason56 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 yeah i'd say mine was ok/passable. nothing great but nothing that made me want to throw the record out the window in disgust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
