Robert_Sofa Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Is this new pressing a bootleg? there was an official repress http://www.thevinylfactory.com/vinyl-factory-news/massive-attack-reissue-mezzanine-on-vinyl-for-the-first-time-in-15-years/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudsbelow Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 looks like the official repress from last year... got my shipping notification this morning. They broke my order of 2 copies into 2 separate shipments. "we've dispatched this portion of your order separately to give you a quicker service, at no additional cost to you. The remainder of your order will follow as soon as those items become available." wont be surprised if the second copy never comes available.. oh well. *wooo just got the dispatch notice on the 2nd.

Robert_Sofa Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I ordered when it was available the first time from amazon uk. Is there any way to distinguish between a bootleg and the repress? A quick comparison of pics on the discogs pages shows that the Catalog number on the spine and the label stickers on the records themselves are the distinguishing features. Catalog number on spine: Official repress: http://s.pixogs.com/image/R-5077187-1384527501-9264.jpeg Bootlegs: http://s.pixogs.com/image/R-4958265-1380577082-9163.jpeg Label Stickers: Official repress: (contains text on the actual center label) http://s.pixogs.com/image/R-5077187-1386225489-1689.jpeg Bootlegs: (no text) http://s.pixogs.com/image/R-4958309-1380577136-8404.jpeg (completely different) http://s.pixogs.com/image/R-2294093-1279452437.jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to spin this tonight. Really tight coming out if the inserts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameshays Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The label is listed as UMC on the Amazon page. Is this the official repress label? I thought it was Circa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ight Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Head's up, this is up again at amazon.co.uk *ouch* $46 shipped. Not too bad, really, but hurts the wallet nonetheless. Favorite Massive Attack album though, so hopefully this goes through (says 'In stock on November 20, 2014'). Thank's for the head's-up.

sve Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Wow! Wonder if I can get this shipped to the US. Yes, you can! *ouch* $46 shipped. Not too bad, really, but hurts the wallet nonetheless. Favorite Massive Attack album though, so hopefully this goes through (says 'In stock on November 20, 2014'). Thank's for the head's-up. I agree. $46 is still $46 but if this is a record you want, unless they repress it, you won't find many better deals than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudsbelow Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Rumblings where? A "review" from someone that got theirs.. "I just got one copy and unfortunately it sounds like a bootleg....Just a hint of depth, very limited space of the scene. The sound is rather flat and instead of the guitar thrill, it just limps along. ...I will try to compare it with CD but at this moment I would advice against it." They do make mention of the run-outs matching the official, so maybe the official pressing is lackluster or maybe the reviewer is just not digging it.

ExtraFox Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Cool. Snagged it here http://www.newonvinyl.com/en/massive-attack-mezzanine-reissue.html This is not the same as this: http://www.discogs.com/Massive-Attack-Mezzanine/release/5077187 The copy at New On Vinyl is a new 2014 press of 1000 copies. It's all in the blurb. I guess the reason that all the 2013 presses have just appeared is that people knew the 2014 press was coming and wanted to offload extra copies before it became well known and the price of the 2013 press dropped.
