bgdesign Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm assuming this is a bootleg because they are coming up more often on Discogs. Anyone know anything about Sleuth Records? http://www.discogs.com/seller/borat?q=eels&btn=Search&st= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhenserling Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I got excited to see this going for less than $250 on Discogs yesterday, but balked at picking it up when I couldn't find anything mentioning a legit repress. I might try picking up the Sleuth Records copy if I can find it locally, but I don't want to pay for shipping from Belgium to find out it's a shoddy bootleg.

It's still to pricey after shipping for a boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piercrlmno Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thought I'd sign up to help some others out. I was one who jumped at the chance of owning this bootleg or not. It is is a bootleg though Id assume as its jacket is fairly poor. I'd expect an official repress to be of much better quality. The record itself seems and sounds fine. On 2 minds think for the price I paid I'm not that happy. Any sign of an official repress and I'll be kicking myself hard. Though without a repress there's no way I was ever going to own this record. So having it on the shelf and getting my eels collection marginally closer to completion - that makes me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derby625 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Maybe one day we will get a proper reissue. I remember reading a news story a long while back about a record shop in England where some hooligans stole a bunch of rare Beatles albums and an OG copy of this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axisrecapital Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 There are a bunch of these available on Discogs for around $40 now...it's a boot. Sadly, I'll probably buy one because I can't afford the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axisrecapital Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ...but if you like Eels, E just announced a new record today, so head over to Eelstheband.com and check it out. The man never stops writing and recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgdesign Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Back to Black usually is distributed in the US. They smartened up and don't do small pressings anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caninesapien Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 What's the consensus on Back to Black reissues - don't they sometimes just press from CD masters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtraFox Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 £16.99 in HMV. It isn't released until the end of the month and HMV don't sell online anymore as far as I can tell. Do you have any more details? Could it be the bootleg (or the OP, I guess)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodan Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 got this the other day from amazon and it is fucking great. no insert, but the vinyl is heavyweight and sounds clean as hell. such an amazing album. never really dug the eels after this album, but i remember buying the cd from circuit city then i was like 13 years old and loving it, and listening now it sounds fresh as ever.

axisrecapital Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Wow...if you stopped listening to Eels after their first record, you are missing out. Blinking Lights and Other Revelations is an absolute masterpiece. Hombre Lobo is easy to track down and a great one as well. In fact, they are all good, but if her start with these two, you'll want to track down all of the catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
