damianzamora Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I recently received a test pressing for Minus the Bear's 2005 Release of Menos El Oso. I have had that vinyl since it was first released in 2005. The date of the Test Pressing I have is November 19th, 2010. I was wondering if anyone may have some insight as to if this pressing sounds any different from the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damianzamora Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Just asking Jake everytime I had the chance, He got me in touch with someone at Suicide Squeeze and I was also able to score a Test for the Highly Refined Pirates Repress as well as the test for This Is What I Know About Being Gigantic. Updated some pics This Is What I Know About Being Gigantic Highly Refined Pirates Repress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 how's your collection lookin nowadays? anything you're missing besides this? There are a couple of things...I've been slacking... I think the latest OMNI pressing...and I think the beer-color "Commercials"...I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarfsnarf Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 i would offer you an unreasonable amount for that menos test press but im a poor college student o___o my favorite album of all time ever forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 does menos el oso need a repress? it seems like its always been widely available.. and for cheap though it would be nice if they did some variants with it. ive always been curious why this is the only album that they didnt get creative with.

mcpherson123 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 My theory about MEO is that they haven't just been going on the stock from the initial press when the album came out but have actually continued to press more quantities as demand dictates. I could be wrong but its just weird that this album had all but disappeared from retail outlets for a few months and then was suddenly everywhere again. I wouldn't be surprised if it had gotten another press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinyl Fury Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I pulled my copy of Menos that I purchased in 2009, the deadwax says it was pressed by 'GOLDEN', not RTI. It's interesting that it's a totally different cut and not just a repress with an original stamper. I'd be curious to see if someone's recent purchase had RTI in the deadwax.

booyahachieved Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 though it would be nice if they did some variants with it. ive always been curious why this is the only album that they didnt get creative with. Ditto. I have multiple copies of all their albums (except for Omni) and I would buy another copy of Menos El Oso in a heartbeat if it were pressed on 180g or a color other than plain black. Seriously, just take my money already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetrakis Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This went out of print for a short period and they were starting to rise on ebay, then all a sudden they were back, which is great. Kudos to SS to just fill the orders with a new pressing quietly and not making me spend on some crazy crap. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthepenguin Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I think I got mine for like $12 back when I was in San Francisco last summer. I'm too lazy to go look at it to provide any kind of information to this thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 No need to start a new thread for Menos el Oso. The band is heading out on a tour for its 10th anniversary. BKO5950505 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 10th Anniversary Pressing as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 It's pretty much been continuously available through Suicide Squeeze recently, so I don't think there would be an entirely new pressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapeebs Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 This is my favorite album of theirs. Gotta catch a date on this tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 According to a promo email I just received for the music site, there will be a reissue of the LP. No details as of yet. And there will be some exclusive VIP ticket package for this tour that will include the LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapeebs Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Ugh just looked closely at the dates for this tour. Really don't want to go to the city, but the only other closest date is an hour more away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
