scottheisel Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 As some people already know, I'm putting out Weatherbox's American Art out on vinyl later this year—it's one of my all-time favorite records, and I'm absolutely thrilled to be doing it. As Brian and I were going over stuff, he mentioned that there was an alternate mix of the record that no one had ever heard before, and sent it over. Some songs sound pretty close to the CD version that everyone would already be accustomed to, but some tracks sounded drastically different (in new and exciting ways, if you ask me). So my question is this: If you were to purchase the vinyl version of an album you've already owned in another format for years, would you rather hear the album as you've always heard it or would you rather get an alternate mix of the album?

ihprstl Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Original Mix, add the alternate mix to the download if you think it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest markovianprocess Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I think if you put out the alternate mix over the original, you're just giving a community of douchebags something to complain about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesupervillain Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Couldn't have said it better than what these guys said. I really like alternative mixes, but not in place of the original. Give me the alternate mix as a download card, or on another CD or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 double lp, with both versions. The album's gonna have to be a double LP already, so this would make it a quadruple LP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himoz Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Love this album and without being able to hear the alternative in advance I'd prefer the original. A download of it with the release would be awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
