JacobMckinley Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Billy said the reissues are off until further notice. Label issues. Where was this info announced/confirmed? I checked some SP forums and some music news sites and don't see any mention/clarification. Not that i'm calling you out or anything, it's just that SP fans tend to lose their minds at this kind of shit, and there has been a calm quiet from that fan base thus far.

dreamover Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 the reason it's on hold is because virgin records or its parent company has been bought out at least three times since this reissue campaign started. Billy was talking about it a couple months ago on twitter and said something similar to me in person. His twitter is gone now so I can't find it.

They did, however, silently fix the problem on the latest US pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's real dumb. A less reputable person might consider buying one from Amazon and returning the junk they sent in the first place back.

andynz Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I had my faulty set replaced (Via amazon). It took quite a few politely worded messages back and forth though. Full credit to them for fixing the issue so long after purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full credit to them for fixing the issue so long after purchase. I tried doing that but couldn't because it had been so long since I originally bought it. So I sold my first press for the cost of buying a second press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okami Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Unfortunately I purchased mine through Hastings so I am basically stuck with distortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of the crappy Disc 1 presses too. I may get ahold of Amazon to see if they'll do a swap with me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess that any that are shipping from them would be the repress, but I can't say for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 MCIS is $76 at Best Buy.

Asked a customer service rep and she said it was out of stock and January was a placeholder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLpubeJ Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 still have two mint, unsealed reissues of Gish and Siamese Dream. Make an offer and PM me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluescreenlife Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Bullmoose has it for $95, which is the cheapest I can find anywhere online. I just ordered one this week, should have it Friday, will confirm if it's a 2015 press. http://www.bullmoose.com/p/14086747/smashing-pumpkins-mellon-collie-the-infinite-sadness-4-lp PS how would I tell if it's a 2015 press? Did all others have distortion at the end of side A? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else in a different thread mentioned he got his from Bullmoose today and it's the 2015 press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEE... Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 This has probably been discussed several times, but this thread is way to big and not finding anything with the search bar. Which press is better sounding (clearer), orange marbled or the latest black press? Someone on discogs mention they are on par. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
