therealglenstyler · 07.17.2008, 08:05 AM

or have i been duped

GrungeMonkey · 07.17.2008, 08:09 AM

what have you read, my friend?

gmku · 07.17.2008, 08:28 AM

Yes, it's true. Touch & Go recently reissued it on vinyl.

Derek · 07.17.2008, 08:55 AM

every CD version i've seen of that album has been horribly overpriced

gmku · 07.17.2008, 08:57 AM

But a new LP reissue is under 9 bucks.

Ok, the 20th anniversary was actually last year, but Albini was too busy.
It's going to be the usual affair: bonus tracks, rarities, unreleased demos etc, double album.
It's coming out on 8th August.

from drownedinsound.com. wha dya reckon?

gmku · 07.17.2008, 09:35 AM

Sounds like much ado about nothing to me, but if you're really into the album, I guess it's good news, no?

Green Magnesium · 07.17.2008, 10:36 AM

I've never owned this one. Provided the "remaster" isn't overly-loud and super-compressed, I'll pick it up. So many "remasters" actually do damage to the music so I'll be waiting for reviews of this before I spend any money.

demonrail666 · 07.17.2008, 10:41 AM

Not wanting to rain on anybody's parade but SaF has to be one of the most dated albums I can think of. I can barely listen to it these days. Rather than reissuing it, Albini should've left it to RIP.

greedrex · 07.17.2008, 10:41 AM

i wouldn't get this on CD. Sounds horrible; even with a remaster which often sounds even worse for a whole the stupid compression.

anyways, get the LP, sounds great on wax, so does any Big Black LP/EP
collect'em all
great artwork!

^^^Demonrail is channelling the spirit of Corgan as part of his forthcoming solo album material (working title: "Don't Yell 'Freebird' ").

pbradley · 07.17.2008, 10:55 AM

Yeah, this "bonus tracks, rarities, unreleased demos etc, double album" doesn't make sense with Songs About Fucking.

PAULYBEE2656 · 07.17.2008, 10:56 AM

just rerelease it with the volume doubled...thats all i ask of you mr albini... thats it... turn it up to 11!

atsonicpark · 07.17.2008, 11:13 AM

yeah my cd version is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally quiet.

gualbert · 07.17.2008, 11:19 AM

"he's a whore" is a lame song btw.

It isn't Billy Corgan, it's Sinead Oconnor.

atsonicpark · 07.17.2008, 11:25 AM

he's a whore rules, cheap trick rules, and big black's cover is awesome. Almost as good as rapeman's cover of just got paid.

demonrail666 · 07.17.2008, 11:29 AM

I actually think that if Albini was gonna celebrate the anniversary of any BB album, it should've been Atomizer. By the time SaF came out, everyone sort of knew what the deal was. Atomizer was the really important one.
