Blaine Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I received mine today, along with the other seven albums I ordered. The packaging for shipping was great, no dings or dents anywhere. I'm hoping to have time to spin this tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedannychang Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Spinning this for the first time. Holy shit. Why can't Mo-Fi press every record? Requiescat and valve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobMckinley Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 if i'm not mistaken isn't this version of Shadowlands the same one as the Japanese import? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefifofum Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Well, I for one am glad it took them so long to get this out—else I would've probably missed it! Just ordered a copy from SSD. Just this weekend I was listening to the two EPs after having a CD player in the house for the first time in years and enjoyed them even more than I expected to. Really looking forward to the b-sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXDan83 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm very anxious to hear what people think about the quality of this compared to the original. I never had a chance to buy the original pressing, and there's no way I could shell out $300+ for it on eBay now. But, $65 seems like a bargain! I've been really happy with the quality of the Ashes & Fire and Cardinology pressings I own, so the bar is set high for this one. My copy from Amazon is in the mail!

SVXDan83 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 According to an interview he did when Ashes & Fire came out, all his albums except Easy Tiger were recorded on 100% analog equipment. So, I'd suspect that given the right treatment, there's no reason for them all not to sound great on vinyl. I don't have any of his earlier stuff on vinyl, but I've heard those pressings sound pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobMckinley Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Ive got both and the original is shit compared to this. I can vouch for this 100% the OG pressing sounds very tinny compared to this one IMO, almost no mid range either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesewoodenideas Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Amazon uk dispatched mine today - they've also now jacked up the price by £20 to £73. Glad I got on this early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear801 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Ryan Adams is definitely a case where I would have to separate the public figure from the writer. The clips all sound really good for this album. I just know him as the guy who trashes artists that I like and has meltdowns. Lol. Looks like a cool release tho and im a big MOFI fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumtaurus Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Agreed that this sounds better that the 2x10", but pretty bummed that the solo cut on "Shadowlands" is different... the original solo is one of my favorite parts of the album.

That is, honestly, a colossal disappointment! (Besides the cover of Wonderwall) "Shadowlands" was the first real Ryan Adams song I got into. That solo is incredible. Has anyone posted a recording of the "new" version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You basically get an entire EPs worth of bonus tracks on top of the full album. I personally don't find the omission to be that big a deal but then again, I never really found the original solo to be all that memorable in the first place. Excellent song though.

spilled milk Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I don't think I've listened to this in its entirety in probably ten years, but I'm geeking out over this hard tonight. Hell, just owning "Halloween" is enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiescat Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'm not even a huge Ryan Adams fan and I'm seriously looking forward to this addition to my collection and hearing what MoFi has done with the recording. I'm sure this will be one that will get a lot of play time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valve Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I finally got to hear this. Definitely the best RA reissue I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 So this pressing was a run of 3000. They may do a second pressing if they sell out of the last 800 copies soon. FYI, it's MD w/ 800 copies. There are still more out there with other retailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXDan83 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Just got mine! Aside from the alternate guitar solo on 'The Shadowlands', it is perfect! Incredibly happy to have gotten my own copy before they sold out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
