timsimmons Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Got my shipping notice. I should have picked it up because it won't be here until Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oojavaguru Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 glad to see that it finally exists! Anyone know what the pressing number is? Judging by the two zeros and the fact that it is still available when his fans eat everything up, Im guessing it is over 10K made. I wouldn't be so sure on that 10K number. Look at this Weezer release--http://www.mofi.com/product_p/mfsl1-391.htm only 3000 made and still in stock (was only available before on CD, this is the first vinyl pressing). MoFi only does large pressings for major artists like Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beatles. Most others are around 3-5K pressings, even though they rarely release pressing info.

timsimmons Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 To be fair, that weezer release is a lame live EP. I imagine they pressed way more for Blue or Pinkerton and probably this. But yeah, MD wasn't overwhelmed by pre-orders for this thing, thats why it kept getting pushed back and other mofi releases were put out. Well also, MD put up the pre-order 6 months before they had the tapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedannychang Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Anyone have any idea when SoundStageDirect is going to start shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcompromise Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm guessing there's no download code included? Haven't ever gotten one with previous MoFi releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcompromise Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 For anyone interested: "As far as the sourcing for Love is Hell goes; The entire original main album (tracks 1-16) were mastered from original masters. Some of the bonus material including songs released in other countries, originally were mastered from the best sources that could be authenticated."

Well also, MD put up the pre-order 6 months before they had the tapes. Quite shocked preorders for LiH weren't overwhelming. This is so clearly an upgrade from the 2x10" that I think diehards will be forced to upgrade from their original copies.So many RA fans are disappointed with the Lost Highway pressings (myself included) it would be a huge shame if they didn't tackle any of his other albums that so desperately need an upgrade too. Oh well, at least we got one of his best albums already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Should also mention that "Anybody Wanna Take Me Home" is also included on this version. I believe it was part of the original tracklisting but got scrapped on the US version since it's on RnR. It was part of the Japanese release.

timsimmons Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I agree. But with his lack of output the past few years, RAA going down, and TBY being dead ( due to lack of RA output) I'm sure word hasn't really got around that well. I'm sure the price turned some off too. But I agree, this is a must have for a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were concerned about the price, I'd be dumping my original on eBay immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was recorded during the NY sessions for LiH, but the RnR version was a different take. It wasn't on the Eps overseas, but the NY version was added back to the tracklisting when they combined the 2 Eps into a single disc the next year.

Yeah, I basically learned this album w/o it so it was a bit weird having it included when I started going with the Japanese version instead. It's better with it included though, of course.

blugel Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Excited to receive this....can't believe they included he b-sides... (Now just need an official release of the LiH "Hard Way to Fall").... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ever a day comes when his entire hidden vault is opened up for listening, you probably won't hear from me for a year because I'll be too busy learning all of it.

I want Blackhole! It was all ready to go...he got tests back from the plant and then, nothing. If we're really being greedy that 20:20 boxset of unreleased albums would be spectacular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvham Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 After seeing the pics of this set I must have it. Any suggestions on lowest price/the best site to order it from? Preferably one that doesn't charge tax to California. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a pretty good idea that many many RA fans in the same camp as you will be rushing to order this as soon as the pics of the box set spread out across the internet.
