i'm just assuming this means they're putting mbv on streaming/maybe reissuing it bc it's out of print, not gonna get my hopes up for anything else

Did anyone buy it on vinyl? Was the pressing good?

the pressing was ok. unfortunately, by the time it arrived at my doorstep, the cover/gatefold had tears and rips in two different places, and a skin on the first track. i love m b v but i will be waiting until i can buy a copy at my local store

a SKIP on the first track
They're finally posting the video for Only Tomorrow that took 8 years to make.

Sopranos/MBV crossover?

Actually wouldn't it be something if they were somehow doing the soundtrack to Chase's prequel film?
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 29 March 2021 20:31 (three years ago) link
Hmm. The fact that Imperioli is in on the inside info certainly brings a new twist, which makes me feel like it's not just a repressing/reissue of m b v. Intriguing, to be sure.

― global tetrahedron, Monday, 29 March 2021 21:24 (three years ago) link
my guess is reissues/mbv on streaming and a new release later in the year
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 29 March 2021 21:25 (three years ago) link
Which makes sense, for sure. The Imperioli connection just throws me a little. I know he's a megafan, but still.

anything from the MBV camp would be terrific, although i am not sure i want kevin to get too distracted by soundtrack work! the new music exists- you can hear studio version of 'new song 2' at the end of this

fingers crossed there's new material on the way too and it's not just announcing that domino is putting everything up on streaming (their discog is currently unavailable everywhere except north america) & probably reissues
the streaming & signed to domino bit is already confirmed: https://www.reddit.com/r/MyBloodyValentine/comments/mf2gs1/mbv_ad_on_german_spotify_europe_where_all_the/

most exciting part of that
Recently Andy produced, engineered and mixed the critically lauded debut record for BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD, ‘For the first time’. He has also been co-producing and mixing for Domino Records signings SORRY, producing and mixing singles for LADYBIRD, PUREST and JOAN as well as the latest EP by Brighton band FUR. He has also been recording the new album for MY BLOODY VALENTINE and worked with KEVIN SHIELDS on remastering ‘loveless’ and ‘isn’t anything’ for Vinyl. He mixed for another Domino records signing PETER PERRET, Brighton band DREAM WIFE as well as the debut album for Memphis Industries MUSH. Plus he added production and mixed LIZ LAWRENCE’S pity party album.

All right, that pity party album uh wait

relistening to isn’t anything, loveless, the eps comp, and m b v a lot lately, remembering this is the best band ever
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 30 March 2021 01:07 (three years ago) link
Didn't everything just get reissued a couple years ago, including EPs collection? Or have I just completely lost track of time?
― Soundslike, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 01:15 (three years ago) link

loveless & isn't anything got a new vinyl remaster in 2018 too
― ufo, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 01:36 (three years ago) link
there is someone on the mbv reddit who a few days ago correctly predicted that there'd be something today and is now saying they've heard new material is coming august/september in addition to whatever re-releases are coming on wednesday. don't want to get my hopes up too much though lol
― ufo, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 01:46 (three years ago) link
lmao if another new my bloody valentine album comes out before the wrens album
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 30 March 2021 02:05 (three years ago) link
Well the Avalanches started releasing records at a faster pace so maybe Kevin's all "Oh yeah, should start doing more here."
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 02:43 (three years ago) link
Yeah, but them shits is long goooone.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 03:51 (three years ago) link
I remember back in the day that Kev made noises about the CDs being the most accurate rendition of Loveless, refused to send promos on cassette I think. I believe the unique thing about the 2018 vinyl was that they reassembled the track segues from the original analogue elements because it’d all been done in the digital domain originally.
― assert (MatthewK), Tuesday, 30 March 2021 04:12 (three years ago) link
Nice to see that Kevin, on top of a load of cables on his vast and beautiful mixing console, has the same cheapo Tandy SPL meter that I've had for the last 25 years :)
― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 09:33 (three years ago) link
This has made me look up SPL meter. So I've almost learned something, though oddly I can't see one in the video above.
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 10:10 (three years ago) link
Looking forward to whatever is coming, but dear god Kevin sort out the barnet mate.

Between 0:46 and 0:48, bottom right-hand corner, during one of the annoying "filmed on Super-8 in the '70s" filtered segments. Just jumped out at me.

The 2018 vinyl reissues of both albums are stupendous, they sound completely amazing and the sleeves are really nice too. It's a shame they are out of print and go for so much money second hand. It would be nice if they gave mbv the same treatment since that sleeve is shit.

I'd just like to get a good copy of Isn't Anything on vinyl and not have to pay more than $30 for it. Why is that so much to ask
― Paul Ponzi, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 16:22 (three years ago) link
the CD reissue if isn’t anything sounded excellent if anyone cares
― brimstead, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 18:29 (three years ago) link
sounded... i believe it still sounds excellent
Relistening to mbv now for the first time in a while...I think I like it a lot more now than I did when it came out. In 2013 it felt kind of disappointing, but almost anything they released would have seemed that way in comparison to Loveless. I wanted it to be another collection of melted power-pop tunes like Loveless, and instead it's a collection of experiments in repetition and mood. I appreciate what it's doing a lot more, these days.

m b v was solid as hell. you guys are crazy.
dunno what's coming, but i'd be stoked even for just an ep. three or four new valentines jams for the summer? count me in.
alternately if this is just an announcement of reissued material, that's going to be fairly underwhelming.

I love how the album kind of self destructs towards the end in the midst of its own massive sonic storm

I'm now wondering if this announcement will tie in with RSD
― Paul Ponzi, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 21:19 (three years ago) link
there's definitely a new album, the real news here is that the logistics & protocols for big tours for acts with older fan bases are lining back up. which is good!
