â€œTo tie in with the live performance, Sony Music will be releasing an expanded Legacy Edition of "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" in October with added content and new packaging. More details tbc.â€

I don't imagine the added content will be anything that isn't out there anyway...... but we can hope!

well the lawyers'll prob sort out the original Elvis mix. in fact if they don't i can't see any other reason for re-release..
it's only been 12 years for fuck sake - which by the way is a crap anniversary for these sorta things, why not 10 or 15? or better yet, 25 or 30?!

Agree on that. I can see 10 years but not 12. Its a bit random isnt it?

marcvolta · Post by **marcvolta** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 11:22 am

maybe it has to do with Spiritualized being somewhat on fire, on these A&E tours?????

im excited !!!!!

the 2009 release with a bonus CD of the DLB show.

can never have too many versions of lagwafis.... must be getting close to twenty different releases by now, at least this one will have some different material i suppose and packaging too hopefully

simonkeeping · Post by **simonkeeping** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 4:59 pm

Yeah Im sure the new packaging will be amazing. But, how the hell are they going to top the original design though? More foil???

So - Spiritualized are now on Sony? And Sony want to cash in on L&G (and why not?) as it's their biggest record sales wise.

I hope the extra tracks aren't just the stuff we've already got.

Anyway - all positive stuff.

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:43 pm

I Am What I Am?

demos of ladies and gents songs would obviously also be some sort of holy grail. But even if J did do demos of a conventional kind at the time im not holding my breath.

I think they're all one and the same - Dedicated was always technically part of BMG and was eventually amalgamated with BMG (inc Arista) who then merged with Sony (=SonyBMG) who are now Sony Music Entertainment.

So I don't think it necessarily means that Spz are now on Sony - but it doesn't completely rule it out either.

jack white · Post by **jack white** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 9:41 pm

i think they probably will sign with Sony now, that this LAGWFIS episode maybe the condition/consummation.
it may be as simple as Sony attaining it through BMG, but the fact that J is obviously invested into the idea enough he's staging a concert in tune with the release suggests he's pretty comfortable in Sonys bed.

hopefully it means a good budget for the new album!! a double LP...??

side b filled with yellow oil (representing the sun)

jesus son · Post by **jesus son** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 9:29 am

What I really want to hear is The Balanescu Quartet version of Pure Phase that Jason's never made available, as they also played on LAG there could be something similar included in the forthcoming bonus material

solarflarez · Post by **solarflarez** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 1:59 pm

maybe the 12 year thing has something to do with the 12 "pills" in the original ltd edition/ 12 tracks on LAG? (which when it came out i didnt buy, cos i thought i would never be able to play it, what a fool eh? i bought the single pill pack instead! a choice i regret to this day!) and yes it will be good to see how they can top the original packaging, maybe blue vinyl? silver vinyl? in a box? triple disc with exrtas on the 3rd disc?

sony-bmg now own the dedicated back catalogue, and thus i guess have the option of utilising the spzd back catalogue for a re-release. amusingly, i'd love to see if the linear notes amend the authorship, since itunes credits `j spacemen, sean cook and spiritualized` as the writers of ladies and gents.

scratch · Post by **scratch** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 4:27 pm

yeah 12 is just as significant a number as 10*
12 months in a year, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 notes in a standard western octave, 12 step program of AA and AN.. dozen

* the only really cool thing about ten is that it contains that magical Indian number

but I only have the 1 pill record as well... opened..

helm · Post by **helm** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 10:21 am

I am quite curious as to what we'll get as part of the legacy edition. Usually these things either seem to have a different mixed album (mono/stereo from sixties reissues) or a few B sides (See tracks 6-13 on the complete works Vol. 2). There were quite a lot of radio broadcasts from the LAGWAFIS tours so maybe some live tracks might be in the off-ing. The other alternative are the remix tracks, which never made it to the complete works. I wouldn't mind having those on CD. Any other thoughts?

Sim · Post by **Sim** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 10:39 am

Perhaps the 'Dub Together' remix by Richard Fearless/Death In Vegas may get an official outing on a Spiritualized release rather than the DIV 12" that's knocking around?

dselevan2 · Post by **dselevan2** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 6:47 am

i'd pay $10,000 for Pure Phase legacy edition with disks 3-4 being the songs played live.

there's a Spiritualized section on Sony's Legacy Recordings site:

angelsighs · Post by **angelsighs** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 5:43 pm

im actually really excited.

likely scenario is a live show that hasn't been officially released before (maybe the one off of Supplementary Dosage or something?) and maybe the elvis mix?

dream scenario is some live in the studio demos, DVD of a live show and documentary. one can but hope.

i'm gonna love this whatever though. my original pill box version (my only copy) is falling apart.

rameses · Post by **rameses** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 8:58 pm

My thoughts:

1) Lots of formats with different stuff on each so we HAVE to buy them all.

2) 12 different colours of vinyl

3) 12x7" vinyl set in a first aid kit type box. A side would have the track, B side would have some etched artwork.

4) Shitty mp3 download in rubbish bit rate and no artwork at all

solarflarez · Post by **solarflarez** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 1:55 pm

my pill box has seen better days too, its now yellow with years of dope smoke unfortunatly, but i got a "normal" copy from HMV for a fiver a few months ago, maybe worth a look mate?

it's a good point, i've often almost bought a bog standard jewel case one for a fiver, it's just that there's always something new and fresh i'd rather buy for that fiver!

Blimey. I am quite literally a bit shocked by that. 2 cd's of outtakes? Considering there has never been any real outtakes or alternative versions released apart from Friendly Frire and Blue on Blue and those came out against Jason's wishes, this is a bit of a radical departure. I'm certainly more excited about this release now.

yeah obviously the packaging will still be medicinal/chemical based- I'm thinking of a kind of redux of the original.

2 CDs though- blimey, it's like all my christmases have come at once.!!

Sim · Post by **Sim** » Thu Jul 30, 2009 10:58 pm

Good spot! White, clear and now black. Wonder if they'll package the extra 2 CDs of material this way also - would need an even bigger box than the original 12 CD version.

Guess we might expect a single tray version in black also?

Actually have mixed feelings about this (if this does indeed end up as one of the formats). Understand wanting to keep with the original concept etc but would have been nice to have something a little different.
