stu666 · 12.21.2008, 05:38 AM

looks like i should get this next year now

ZEROpumpkins · 12.21.2008, 05:45 AM

Still not there, stu? Sue the mailman!

stu666 · 12.21.2008, 05:54 AM

i had another email on friday saying it had just been posted, the delay was due to the LP being too big to post with the cd??? so they had to be posted seperately.

i joined the stephenmalkmus.com board and it looks like a lot of people are still waiting for this.

good one Matador

ZEROpumpkins · 12.21.2008, 06:00 AM

:/ at least they make up for it by being a kick-ass label.

stu666 · 12.23.2008, 04:49 AM

the cd finally arrived today but on its own without the lp/poster.

ZEROpumpkins · 12.23.2008, 05:55 AM

What the jesus fuck? Talk to matador now!

stu666 · 12.24.2008, 04:42 AM

lp and poster arrived today.

ZEROpumpkins · 12.24.2008, 06:22 AM

Whew. Glad that's all sorted man. What's the poster of?

stu666 · 12.24.2008, 06:26 AM

Belle and Sebastian - The BBC sessions

ZEROpumpkins · 12.24.2008, 06:45 AM

Hahahahahahahahhahaahaha :d

stu666 · 12.24.2008, 06:55 AM

it has Brighten the corners on the other side

HECKLER SPRAY · 12.25.2008, 08:03 PM

So, guys, what do think about this reissue and the extra super kick-ass bonus LP ?

I've listened the reissue just once, and I find it good. But not as good as the previous ones. I think it's due to the fact that I don't like Brighten the Corners as much as I love Slanted, Crooked Rain and Wowee.
Furthermore I find it too brief, 24-25 songs per cd, compared to Wowee Zowee reissue (30-35 or something like that)... They should have put more live stuffs,... and I prefer not to talk about the Preston School of Industry song, it's a shame.

At all events this album is better than any Radiohead albums.

HECKLER SPRAY · 12.26.2008, 07:49 AM

Agree ?
Disagree ?
Don't care ?
Shut the fuck up ?

stu666 · 12.26.2008, 11:23 AM

yeah i pretty much agree with you Heckler, this album is good but not as good as Slanted, Crooked or Wowee, it would've been nice to have more bonus tracks but if you include the live lp there is probably more tracks on BTC than Wowee Zowee.

the live lp is ok but nothing that special.

ZEROpumpkins · 12.26.2008, 08:22 PM

The bonus tracks on Wowee aren't as good as the bonus tracks on BTC (yes, even though WZ has Kris Kraft, Easily Fooled, Painted Soldiers, Mussel Rock). I got the impression that BTC was more of a solid release as a deluxe than Wowee deluxe, even if I prefer the regular edition of Wowee over BTC.

Overall I prefer BTC to CRCR and Slanted, but as Deluxe editions I'd go with CRCR>Slanted>BTC.

Sorry about all the acronyms.

HECKLER SPRAY · 12.26.2008, 08:33 PM

Thanks for your answers, dudes.

I see your point Zero, but I maintain that the absence of Preston.... makes this reissue unrealized, uncompleted.
It could have been way better.

ZEROpumpkins · 12.26.2008, 08:42 PM

Preston will be on TT deluxe, guaranteed. The idea of these deluxe re-issues is to cover all their output anyway, isn't it?

Also: fix your signature

HECKLER SPRAY · 12.27.2008, 05:36 AM

I hope so.

Also : Fixed (for the moment)

noisereductions · 01.05.2009, 12:27 PM

This reissue is so good that it's depressing me. Pavement has long been the one band that I would force to re-unite if I were President.

Green Magnesium · 01.05.2009, 03:01 PM

These reissues from Matador sound really good, re-mastering wise. Unlike the hideously compressed nonsense that was spewed at us with the SY deluxe reissues. Too bad I prefer SY as a band.

Yay for Pavement fans anyway
