Im convinced that the issue with mine is definitely mastering. I can’t imagine how pressing could make it sound like it was being played down a distorted phone line. Digital is much louder, more dynamic and less distorted.

I'll try to do an A/B testing later! Mine definitely doesnt sound like its being played down a distorted phone line though hah.

This whole MBV price structure is nutty! Who is going to pay the same price for an inferior pressing and sleeve?

In absence of the first one, me, apparently.

 

[MikeH]

The weirder question is: why cut two versions in the first place at the same price? Like give one shiny packaging, fine, but cutting different versions of the same thing just sourced different seems... screwy.

makes me think the AAA is limited while they plan to keep the digitals in print...

Cut from hi res digital if properly mastered and pressed well isn’t going to be shit by any means either. Especially if Kevin Shields has kept his notoriously tight grip on the releases.

There were rumours back during this release that Kevin actually wasn't satisfied with this mastering and was planning another release to be done on 45rpm (potentially 2LP?). Anyway I regretted not getting it then and I jumped on this right away this time I saw it available at the indie stores.

@Joe Mac you may have noticed some UK stores dropping VAT on EU orders. Also for you I'm guessing?

Yeah in an NPR podcast he discussed this. I think it was cut , or was being cut at the time, he did say something though admitting that 45 RPM is "overkill". What's interesting about Kevin is he's been really smart about the remasters, he didnt do gimmicky (at least not yet) blu ray discs for example. I feel like 45 RPM could happen but also, if it doesn't or takes another 69 years, it's the norm at this point if you like MBV

Dang. Missed the deluxe “Loveless,” which sucks The Butt. Grabbed the regular version of that and the deluxe “Anything,” hoping I can upgrade the “Loveless” down the line.

Im sure they can! I’m guessing that down in rural Devon they’re not used to these runs, they’ll wondering who all these mad yanks that are wiping them out of stock are

I knew I woke up with the rooster today for some reason, seems I snagged the last deluxe

 

[Corycm]

For two additions, I wonder if it’s a rights issue. If somehow the AAA cut is tied up but the hi-res is a new transfer or some sort of loophole that gets them around some other issue.

I missed the deluxe albums...

He self released the AAA cut in 2018 though which was why it was such a small run. It’d be weird if his management managed to confuse the matter so much with tapes he owns and has the rights to himself

Also here. Another local but they usually add a couple of euro over the other locals on new releases so it may get expensive...
