Pre-Order Thread

While we're on the topic of Let it Come Down Spiritualized, I wanted to share one of my all time favorite live performances. This is during the Acoustic Mainlines tour where they played songs in a stripped down, acoustic set up with strings and orchestra. This is "Anything More" which slowly and beautifully transitions into "Ladies and Gentlemen We are Floating in Space". The Rhodes piano during the transition gets me every time. Give it a listen ⬇️




EDIT: This version is actually the best one but it's audio only


This makes a July concert in Iceland look like the coldest, grayest, most forlorn way to experience Spiritualized. The way this is shot, if you told me the audience was a quarter mile away from the stage, and didn't actually pay to be there but just wandered down from the village (I know it's Reykjavik, just saying) because they heard some violins, I'd totally believe it.
 
Someone please tag me if there's a vinyl version

Ditto on that.

That Shires screenprint is real purdy though.
Vinyl is an RSDBF title. No indication if that means an RSDBF “first” or if it’s specifically just RSD, but I hope they press a lot because that’s going to go fast.
 
That’s my thought too. Since it’s a fundraiser especially, why limit it?

Granted this was a live album, but Isbell does have a history of doing only RSD drop for albums.

i think that's the only example though right? and things have changed a lot since then. but who knows
 
It feels really silly to keep this as a pure exclusive given the artist variety on it, I get the Live from 1979 as an RSD Exclusive, not this one. I'd probably be less worried if he didn't have so many collaborators. Several artists on there have diehards who will go out just for their songs on there.
 
can anyone speak to whether the Ladies and Gentlemen reissue is an improvement over the VMP? or point me to somewhere that's already happened :)
I believe they are using the same VMP plates, but the non-VMP version is likely not pressed at GZ. So that may be a huuuuuuuge improvement. I know my VMP version has quite a bit of inner groove distortion.

The VMP version has better artwork/packaging, imo.
