She did a fan club “off-white” repress of The Story which sold out in like 3 minutes a week or so ago. I was in a stupid meeting and it was announced and sold out very quickly. The mod said there would be plenty for everyone so I’m really hoping for a wider repress.

Oh wtf. I had no idea about that. Would have been on in a second (and missed it and been frustrated anyway)

Edit: @Kris Just joined this. Not sure how Ive been sleeping on this fan club but this press looks awesome. Really hoping they release more...

Not vinyl but if you are a William Tyler fan, this is all you.

Absolutely essential. Is there any mastering info anywhere though?

I also have to imagine that they will break out the studio albums under the Bureau B label at some point, maybe minus the singles and unreleased stuff. I have original pressings for So Far, Tapes, and IV but never picked up the debut on vinyl for some reason. Bureau B usually does solid work from the handful of records I have but I think almost everything is digital.

I wonder if this is worth buying for somebody who doesn't own any Sparks on vinyl?

Maybe? If you just want some Sparks on vinyl, that seems like a pretty decent bang-to-back ratio. I'd probably recommend just picking up Kimono My House, Propaganda, Angst in My Pants, and/or No. 1 in Heaven for the sake of a deeper Sparks education, though.

I've had some trouble finding any of their individual releases but maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

I do wish this compilation had my favorite Sparks song, which is "I Married Myself" but that's from the early 2000's.

Maybe I spoke a bit brashly; after my comment I looked up a few albums on discogs and they go for a pretty penny. I only have No. 1 in Heaven, which I just found in a brick-and-mortar shop by chance.

I wonder if the documentary might result in some reissues.

Can't wait to see the doc. It will be my first movie in a theater in soooo long.

It’s been worth the money to me. They did weekly live-stream shows for like $10 during the last year that really brightened quarantine time!

We can only hope. I don't know if I've ever seen any of their albums while browsing local stores.

This might be a cheaper way to start (3 LPs for $25):

Past Tense - Best Of Sparks

That looks like a great comp. I'm surprised it doesn't have "Angst In My Pants".

Agreed! That whole album is up there on my favorites by them but it doesn’t seem to be well represented on this collection (looks like just “I Predict”)

In the email that included this link from Tower Records (see image below), they're marketing this as a 50th anniversary edition of Joni Mitchell's Blue. This coincides with previous announcements of Joni's box set containing remasters of her first four albums, which noted that this was to celebrate Blue's 50th anniversary. All of which suggests that what Tower is offering is a breakout from the box set of the newly (?) remastered Blue. I sure wish there was more information available about whether and how this might differ from the 2007/2020 Rhino reissue that was lacquered by Boom Boom (and that I saw yesterday for $110 behind the counter at my local--they've really lost their fucking minds). And perhaps most interesting of all is that this doesn't appear to be a pre-order given there's no indication of a release date. It's all a bit confusing.

Mitchell, Joni: Blue

Title: BlueLabel: RhinoProduct Type: VINYL LPWithout a doubt, one of the most important and influential artists in all of contemporary music, Joni Mitchell is much more than a legendary icon of the singer-songwriter art form. Since her 1968 debut LP, the five-time Grammy winner has released a...
