Playing the remastered Sister LP for the first time, and whoa. Even through my ancient stereo speakers and a very run-of-the-mill turntable, this sounds freakin amazing.

Beginning of an email I just got:
"I am writing with an update regarding your recent order for the Sonic
Youth Bad Moon Rising Vinyl Reissue. I have just received word that
there is a pressing delay for this vinyl and the new release date for it
is February 15th, 2011"


Serious bummer...

Lame! But I guess that's good because I keep forgetting to pre-order anyway.

Here's the scan of the sticker on the LTD ED. Color Vinyl version..

I thought it was a no-brainer: orange vinyl, because jack o'lanterns are orange.

I still think Bad Moon Rising should have been reissued as a deluxe 2-LP set, with all the various 'Hallowe'en'-related tracks and the original 'Death Valley '69' single comprising the second record.

I vote for Destroyed Room #2, with all those 80's era bonus cuts collected together. Actually you could probably make a whole thrashed motel's worth of destroyed rooms from all the band's out-takes/b-sides. And a boxed set that folds out into a dilapidated motel. Artwork featuring vintage photos of hotel rooms thrashed by other more debauched bands.

So what is the final word on these remasters? Sound quality, artwork, overall collect-ability?

Chime in peeps...

They are great! I am really happy with the sound.
Ripped them to WAV on my PC. PM me if you want them ;)

Hi Everybody!

So I just got Murray Street and Daydream Nation(4xLP version) on vinyl, ripped to wav/mp3.
If anyone wants them PM me.

I wouldn't, and didn't pay that much for a mint original a few years back. OVERPRICED.
