One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Just did some googling and saw that the Catch 22 version was released on vinyl but not the Streetlight Manifesto version WHAT GIVES would love to have this classic on my turntable Yikes dude. What are you even saying? The Catch 22 version is the "classic" version. The reason the Streetlight version isn't on vinyl is because Streetlight and Victory don't really get along.

trevorm Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thats always been pretty vague. I know they hate each other but I dont see why Victory wouldn't press it. They pressed every other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Just did some googling and saw that the Catch 22 version was released on vinyl but not the Streetlight Manifesto version WHAT GIVES would love to have this classic on my turntable Yikes dude. What are you even saying? The Catch 22 version is the "classic" version. The reason the Streetlight version isn't on vinyl is because Streetlight and Victory don't really get along. From the streetlight version "We wanted to get it right for once. Plus it helps me sleep at night knowing blood, sweat, and tears were put into a record as opposed to making people pay thirteen bucks for a record and they only get flashy new cover art. This release is a preemptive strike, I guess. Whatever you want to call it, it'll piss people off, and that, at the end of the day, is all that really matters. If there's one thing I can't stand it's when a CD is re-released untouched sonically, with a new cover and maybe a live video, and kids are duped into buying this new edition of something they already have. I was upset when I was told the guys were going to do this for Keasbey, so I offered to re-record it because I've always thought it sounded like pure garbage sound-wise. Plus the budgets we get are laughable, particularly for a band with seven musicians to record. So we used some of our own money and took our time with this one. I'll tell you right now, we have no intent on hiding our intentions. We wanted to prevent the re-release of Keasbey untouched as well as get the record to sound how it should have sounded originally. For that we sacrificed months of our time and our money, and now we feel what we have is worth paying for. Although, truth be told, I don't care if a single record is sold, as it is indeed old music, and kids have a right to know what it is and to decide whether or not they'll pay for it. Do I think it's worth thirteen dollars? Yes, very much so, but that's my opinion. What other people decide, that's their own opinion. We're going to keep doing what we do whether or not a single record is sold" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleevanswastaken Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Listened to both versions, both suck pretty hard but catch 22 is better. I kind of wonder what happened between the specials and 1998 that made ska suck ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafmx Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Streetlight was first? what? ??? Catch 22 was first, obviously. 1998. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketchupnmustud Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I heard streelight's Keasby Nights before I heard Catch 22's. Catch 22 may be the original band with that Album buuuuuuut it was streetlight I was first introduced to before Catch 22 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have little idea of what is and isn't trolling any more. Now it basically boils down to having an unpopular opinion on the internet. It's as if the weather man is a troll for telling you there is a 90% chance of rain even though you were hoping for a sunny day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I was just listening to the OG C22 version last week. Great album. Hell, I picked up the clear vinyl when it first came out...back when Victory was still semi-decent with bands and releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
