Amazing footage, streets ahead of the "A Declaration" concert. Some gloriously bum playing from Lawrence on "The Stagnant Pool", although might just be the murky sound.
As far as remasters I'm certain that I've read an interview with Lawrence where he bemoaned Cherry Red's tightfisted reuse of master tapes, meaning that none of the early albums exist in multi-track form any more as they were recorded over. A bit like the BBC with ancient Dr Who episodes I guess.

I'm sure there was some rumour of Ignite The Seven Cannons being remixed at Lawrence's behest

according to Mojo, Cherry Red are reissuing the Felt albums.http://pub27.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=2284341502&frmid=34&msgid=1072912&cmd=show

I've been thinking about Lawrence songs that borrow/steal from other people's songs - 'Space Blues' nicks from 'Telegram Sam', 'Internet Curtains' seems inspired by Yachts' 'Suffice To Say' - what else? I'm convinced that 'Bubblehead' takes its tune from something else, but I can't place it.

Anybody heard anything about the Felt albums being reissued? I want to start buying them on LP but they're fairly expensive.― brotherlovesdub, Sunday, 19 January 2014 05:58 (1 year ago) Permalink
Looks like Captured Tracks is hoping to do vinyl reissues. Only "Gold Mine Trash" and "Bubblegum Perfume" comps announced so far on their Facebook page.
― early rejecter, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 17:12 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, i posted that on the 2015 reissues thread. I just bought the original pressings of both of those compilations in late-November. Terrible timing.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 17:26 (eight years ago) link
Wish they would do a compilation of non-album tracks, right now a lot of b-sides are still original-release only and the rest are scattered across what... five different compilations?
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 17:46 (eight years ago) link
originals probably sound better anyway
― brimstead, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 18:25 (eight years ago) link
nah, I have the original vinyl, the problem is a lot of it sounds like crap
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 18:56 (eight years ago) link
true, my copy of Bubblegum Perfume sounds terrible.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:07 (eight years ago) link
my copy of Goldmine Trash sounds terrible and is pressed slightly off-center, Primitive Painters is a wobbly drone mess :(
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:32 (eight years ago) link
a lot of b-sides are still original-release
only a few tracks have never been reissued on cd.
― new noise, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 19:46 (eight years ago) link
yeah but that just proves they're scattered all over the place
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Wednesday, 2 December 2015 22:57 (eight years ago) link
Ha I had no idea, I just always assume the worst when it comes to vinyl reissues
― brimstead, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 23:13 (eight years ago) link
Re: pressing quality
Anyways, the CDs sound great
― brimstead, Wednesday, 2 December 2015 23:14 (eight years ago) link
granted but outside of two compilations (bubblegum perfume and absolute classic masterpieces) there are only about a dozen stray tracks and half of them are just alternative versions.
― new noise, Thursday, 3 December 2015 02:10 (eight years ago) link
Hey, thanks for that link. I compiled their rarities myself but it helped me update and improve them. Who knew that "Crucifix Heaven" has been left off all reissues of "Strange Idols Pattern"!
They all play together really well, actually, so I hope they get an airing with the latest reissue series.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 3 December 2015 02:11 (eight years ago) link
it would have been nice if he'd put a couple more of those strays on the reissue of bubblegum perfume, as with "female star" etc.
― new noise, Thursday, 3 December 2015 02:16 (eight years ago) link
"[...] Primitive Painters is a wobbly drone mess" - faithful to the original, then.
― mahb, Thursday, 3 December 2015 10:47 (eight years ago) link
i have everything on vinyl but i would totally buy a cd singles box and a cd album box. if i had the money i would buy all the original japanese vinyl.
― scott seward, Thursday, 3 December 2015 12:49 (eight years ago) link
the japanese cd reissues that came out last year already sell for godawful amounts of money. if you can even find them to buy.
― scott seward, Thursday, 3 December 2015 12:52 (eight years ago) link
i totally would have bought that cherry red 3-cd box that came out in the 90's but i never saw one. i just saw the individual CDs back then.
― scott seward, Thursday, 3 December 2015 12:59 (eight years ago) link
half of them are just alternative versions
yeah but the single version of Sunlight Bathed the Golden Glow absolutely destroys the album version, so I want all those alternate versions to make sure I'm not missing out!
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Thursday, 3 December 2015 16:44 (eight years ago) link
disagree on "sunlight" but i do like the single version of "dismantled king is off the throne" better
― brimstead, Thursday, 3 December 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link
"sunlight strings" is fun. on the 12-inch.
― scott seward, Thursday, 3 December 2015 19:24 (eight years ago) link
Sunlight Strings just needs the right sitcom to be the theme to.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Thursday, 3 December 2015 19:40 (eight years ago) link
there was no "dismantled king" single!
― new noise, Thursday, 3 December 2015 19:44 (eight years ago) link
the version on gold mine trash was a demo.
― new noise, Thursday, 3 December 2015 19:45 (eight years ago) link
It's the b-side to Primitive Painters
― everything, Thursday, 3 December 2015 19:52 (eight years ago) link
Do the CD and vinyl version of Gold Mine Trash have different versions? I think maybe they do.
― everything, Thursday, 3 December 2015 19:55 (eight years ago) link
crucifix heaven is pretty neat!

xps ah yeah it was on the 92 reissue of pp. not sure about differences between gmt cd and vinyl.
