Japes Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I never bought it, but now I'm glad I didn't. If that's the case, I hope that's not how they reissue the rest of their albums. I WANT LONG DRIVE, DAMNIT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 What's wrong with remastering? It's usually done to better the sound. Yeah, I really do prefer some remastered albums over the original, but I really dislike the remastering they did on Moon and Antarctica. I felt like they really took the life out of it. In fact, everyone I know who has heard both the original vinyl pressing and the anniversary pressing prefers the original. I just think it was completely unnecessary and it would have been equally unnecessary with Good News. All I'm saying is I'm glad they did another pressing without changing it from what we already know and love. i didn't like how they changed the cover, either. its the itunes default cover now, too, which drives me batshit. but i'm just gay like that.

mcpherson123 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I've never heard the original Moon but I have the new one and as far as albums on vinyl go, I quite like it. That said, my Good News just arrived. I'm pretty psyched. Was it always just a single packet 2XLP and not a gatefold?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 yeah, just one jacket with two discs. all the art and info should be printed on the sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't change the cover art, they used the original cover art from before the CD was reissued in 2004. i knew there was a 2xLP reissue thats on sale now, but i thought there was a reissue when they remastered the cd as well, with the iceburg art.

mcpherson123 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Nothing in mine either. I was so excited to play it that I didn't even think to check for it even though the damn sticker was staring me in the face about it. It just dawned on me that these may have been held back because they didn't have enough download cards and ended getting sealed without them. I don't know. Probably has nothing to do with it. I'm just glad I have it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genuma Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 yeah, I don't need a download card so I'm just stoked to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someasiandude Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I just received mine from Amazon. The sticker on the outside says there's a download code but there is NO code inside at all, i made sure to look and open it very carefully.

All I had seen was the description that says, "Remastered on 2xLP 180 gram vinyl with original artwork to coincide with the 10 year anniversary of this classic album" but you're right. I guess I (and lots of other people) disagree with Isaac, haha. Before I got the vinyl I had the original cd, so it's probably just because it's the version I'm familiar with.

I've never heard the original mix (the vinyl reissue was my first time hearing the record), so I can't comment. I think the reissue sounds good, though. They also reissued it on CD with the original cover and remix last year, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zick Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Still haven't got the shipping confirm from Amazon. Should I be worried yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Even if you don't get it from amazon, as mentioned in this thread a few times, this will available at Hot Topic and probably hottopic.com very soon for only $11.99. You can't go wrong with that price. Stick it out, man. I'm sure you'll be able to get a copy one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
