Spacemen 3 Glass 12" re issues
Just seen on heyday mail order that the first 3 Spacemen 12" are up for re-issue
http://www.heyday-mo.com/catalog/
They have Fire Cat numbers so I am guessing they will be as badly done as the LP re-issues frm last year Shame. I know Pete has nothing to do with this as well. Also under the impression that Fire do not have the masters for these recordings.

What is the point of these releases? Especially at these prices. Is there really a demand?

Definitely too expensive. I won't be buying these. I have to admit that regardless of the quality of the pressing, I enjoy the LP reissue of Sound of Confusion, mainly because I never owned a copy on cd or vinyl before.
Re: Spacemen 3 Glass 12" re issues
I have a copy of the SOC reissue which has more surface nosie than any other LP in my collection, some of which are 30-odd years old. My other half bought me the other Fire reissues and the recent TDTMMTTDT bootleg for $60 odd all up on eBay as an Xmas present. I'm dreading/really looking forward to listening to these, depending on the quality of the pressing. FWIW I will not buy the 12 inch reissues until I hear reports on the pressing quality, and not having the masters suggests they will be poor.TheWarmth wrote:Definitely too expensive.

On the other hand the quality of the repressing of Yanqui UXO by Godspeed! You Black Emperor is stunning. Why can't the SP3 reissues be that good???
Re: Spacemen 3 Glass 12" re issues
I don't know why your copy of SOC would be any different than mine, but I don't recall hearing any abnormal surface noise. I will have to put it on again and check it again.
Re: Spacemen 3 Glass 12" re issues
naked greed, I presume ...is their a demand ? if I wanted them that bad I`d rather track down an original than have to spend good money on these releases or buy the Translucent Flashback album some where , how much can they squeeze out of a pretty slim catalogue
Re: Spacemen 3 Glass 12" re issues
I'm pretty sure this one is gonna backfire. Look for them at Fopp(is that still open)?

Re: Spacemen 3 Glass 12" re issues
My Fire SoC is pretty good too; definitely one of the better reissues. TPP is the one that's absolute garbage.
Re: Spacemen 3 Glass 12" re issues
I really wish the missing SP3 master tapes would resurface. There are so many shit reissues and it would be nice to be able to hear a really decent pressing without having to play my Glass vinyl.
Re: Spacemen 3 Glass 12" re issues
I got another copy for Xmas, along with TDTMMTTDT, PP and Performance. I've yet to listen to SOC, but when I do I'll report back. The copy I bought a couple of months ago is seriously fucked, (my turntable is top notch, but deals with old/damaged records very well) sounds like it was last cleaned with a brillo pad. This is one of me top 5 LPs of all time so I hope this copy is OK.....(fingers crossed).TheWarmth wrote:I don't know why your copy of SOC would be any different than mine, but I don't recall hearing any abnormal surface noise.

These really are pointless releases and IMHO money grabbing at it's worstspzretent wrote:What is the point of these releases? Especially at these prices. Is there really a demand?
What effect do other board members think this will have on the value of the original issues?

Re: Spacemen 3 Glass 12" re issues
I think there will be no affect on the value of the originals.
Look at the original Glass LPs. Those are still just as valuable if not more.
