throwgncpr Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 it is definitely happening. and amazon.ca still has their pre-order live, so I'm not sure what the deal is with that email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsostarich Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The email that I got saying it was delayed still has the December 4th release date. I don't see how that's a delay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achillesstand7 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I ordered 2 in separate orders when it first went up, and one of them was cancelled but the other wasn't. I got the re-order/coupon code email for the cancelled one. And then I got another cancellation email for the one that didst originally get cancelled this morning. So, I re-ordered using the coupon code email. Whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crapforgenius Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 http://www.smashingp...e/mcis-reissue/ The official site put up pre-orders this evening - $135 for the CD/DVD box, $75 for the 4xLP. Bonuses are a t-shirt and tote bag. I do actually quite like the Dover shirt and am considering getting just that - at one point I owned all the MCIS-era t-shirts but have since sold off most of them, only holding on to the ones I got on tour. (Of course, at the time I was into buying shirts really big so I have no use for XL t-shirts anymore, just can't bring myself to get rid of them.) Old habits die hard, yet I also don't need another $22 Smashing Pumpkins shirt hanging in the closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 So it says the "original album" for the 4 LP set, but does that mean the original vinyl with the different running order and Tonite Reprise and Infinite Sadness tracks or the CD version? I can't seem to find a definitive answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 It's the original CD running order. No bonus tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlee Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 that sucks. I prefer the LP running order. almightyseancore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfilmaholic Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Oh thank God. I've listened to a vinyl rip of the vinyl track listing and it bothered me to no end. As I've mentioned before, this album meant a lot to me when I first heard it and I've listened to the CD track listing for years and that's how I like it so to hear this new pressing keeps that, makes me a very happy person. But, to each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 just realized i still have an extra two of the celestials 7" with shirt sealed that i was holding for people that didn't need them. if you want one; $30 in the US, $40 outside. shoot me a PM if you still need one.

nelso330 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 so who thinks this deluxe LP version on their site is different than what will be in stores? I am guessing the extra book and the box is the difference? and if thats $75 a standard 4 LP may be $55 or $60 at the end of the day!

tsostarich Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 My record store was telling me they have three different versions listed. One of which is $200. I can't find any information on that one though, but they said they're getting them on December 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I read a review earlier where they talked about how "heavy-handed" the SD and Gish remasters were (in saying that the MCIS were less severe), so I had to bust out Siamese Dream again to revisit it. The remaster still sounds incredible. The dude who wrote that review must've been high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 People will find anything to complain about. The SD vinyl sounds better than the original because its better quality vinyl. The remaster itself doesn't sound much different. The Gish remaster sounds 10 times better than the original. I wouldn't consider either heavy handed. Gish was definitely a bit too quiet originally.

crapforgenius Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 http://www.theskinny.co.uk/music/records/303629-the_smashing_pumpkins_mellon_collie_the_infinite_sadness_deluxe_edition A review of the CD set. My favorite bit is the last paragraph: "With a DVD of period concert footage, a Mellon Collie decoupage set and a lush book of expanded artwork rounding out the set, it's clear that EMI have pushed the boat out for this reissue – and it comes at a price. Then again, it feels like a perversely Pumpkins-like move to aim the reissue of the band's most commercially successful album so squarely at the hardcore fan." Spot on. kirtah777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any information on that one though, but they said they're getting them on December 4th. theres three versions:-2CD remaster -2CD remaster + 3CD bonus tracks + DVD boxset -4LP remaster The 6 disc boxset is probably the $200 one.

That explains it. They were thinking the three versions were all vinyl, but I'm sure we all would have been aware on here if that were the case.

dreamover Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Also, I wanted to note that it looks like the deluxe CD and vinyl boxset are physically almost the same. they include the same two books. Just the vinyl does not include the decoupage set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
