MikeM200 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 From the band in AP today: What about the back catalog? Any reissue plans?There’s nothing in the works. There are a couple vinyl snobs in the band, so there’s always talk about getting a proper pressing of it done. The one that’s been in Hot Topic recently was not anything that we had to deal with; [universal] just sold the rights to some company, and they put out a fucking awful pressing of it. The artwork is [pixelated]; I think they even cut one of the songs short. It was awful. Anybody that talks to us about vinyl, we always ask them very kindly not to purchase the Hot Topic vinyl pressing of What It Is To Burn. They do have our shirts in there, and the shirts are acceptable and really nice, and we support that. But whatever company is doing the vinyl should be dragged out back and shot.

maskedvigilante Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I must have picked up a better version then from Hot Topic. Non-pixelated artwork, 180 Gram Black...it sounds and looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimFeerick Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I must have picked up a better version then from Hot Topic. Non-pixelated artwork, 180 Gram Black...it sounds and looks awesome. Yeah they definitely released another press that was fixed and it was cheaper I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradedOnACurve Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I don't know this for sure, but aren't all of the Hot Topic releases CD sourced? Hot Topic doesn't press records. Universal and Geffen are the companies you talk about that may use CD sourcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derag001 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well, hopefully they release their back catalogue in a way that pleases them (and the fans) then. I wouldn't find new sets of their two records plus maybe an LP of their non album tracks like the ones he mentions in that article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifworkpermits Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 we always ask them very kindly not to purchase the Hot Topic vinyl pressing of What Is It To Burn. I see what you did there! Also, who are they to talk about how shitty the universal/geffen pressing is... Their own pressing through drive-thru cuts off 10 seconds into the title track. And, as mentioned before, you "vinyl snobs" in the band should have fought to have it repressed and sold your approved version on the 10 year tour.

David Loyd Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 And put the demo of 'what it is to burn' on the next pressing please because its far superior to the 'real' version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippingOut Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 And put the demo of 'what it is to burn' on the next pressing please because its far superior to the 'real' version. I still can't figure out which one is the demo. Is the version they made the video for the real version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Loyd Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I still can't figure out which one is the demo. Is the version they made the video for the real version? Yes. I definitely prefer the 'old' or demo version. Does anyone actually prefer the video version? I don't think I've met one person that does.

WereAllDudesHey Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 This may not sound sufficiently vinyl-snobby of me but I have the HT press of WIITB that I bought a few months ago when they did a Buy One, Get One $1 sale at it sounds great to me.*shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Does anyone know how many variants of the WIITB X will be coming out? I know the white is on MerchNow and Interpunk is selling it(will they get an exclusive?) I've emailed them already, just wondering if anyone knows?

mattisr1984 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 that first hot topic press of this record is probably the worst LP ive ever seen in terms of quality control. absolutely piss poor. i dont blame them for being annoyed.
