― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 17 November 2005 21:07 (twenty years ago)

This is the thread where ILM sings "Cenotaph" in unison.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 17 November 2005 21:09 (twenty years ago)

I wonder how much it will cost.
Ned, if you get a promo of the box you can give me it if you like :-)

Yum. Gotta get it for the unreleased disc and the book of ephemera. Wonder what the "extra subscription item" is?

― sleeve (sleeve), Friday, 18 November 2005 06:34 (twenty years ago)

Damn, I wish I would have sold my CDs for big bucks already. I guess it's too late now.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Friday, 18 November 2005 07:36 (twenty years ago)

I'm glad I was a lazy ass and never got around to spending big bucks to buy those This Heat CDs, and concentrated on the vinyl instead.

― do knut (donut), Friday, 18 November 2005 07:37 (twenty years ago)

I guess I'll always have the L@@K OOP wax cylinder editions.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Friday, 18 November 2005 07:42 (twenty years ago)

Excited about the unreleased cd, I wonder what's on it? Live stuff, studio improvs, UNRELEASED SONGS? Gibber.

All four hopefully. I'm looking forward to the Gibber especially.

nice! so it's gonna be like the Faust box, except for the extra mystery item

― amon (eman), Friday, 18 November 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

maybe the extra disc will have the Tago Mago cassette remastered?

― amon (eman), Friday, 18 November 2005 14:07 (twenty years ago)

Oooh Tago Mago that would be so nice.

There are a lot of great rehearasals, unreleased tunes, and live tracks already floating around on boots, plenty of good stuff to choose from.

― sleeve (sleeve), Friday, 18 November 2005 15:58 (twenty years ago)

"Wonder what the "extra subscription item" is?"

"nice! so it's gonna be like the Faust box, except for the extra mystery item"

There was actually an "extra subscription item" for people who ordered the Faust box in advance....

It was a small certicate confirming that you'd ordered the Faust box in advance.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:01 (twenty years ago)

you didn't get the booklet with the extra anecdotes and stories?

it was modest but nice

― milton parker (Jon L), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

That was in all the boxsets wasn't it?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:10 (twenty years ago)

what pere ubu needs to be reissued?

― petesmith (plsmith), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:12 (twenty years ago)

there were two booklets, the main history that came with every box, and the black & white xeroxed one, autographed with a few extra Peron stories & some scores

― milton parker (Jon L), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:13 (twenty years ago)

I don;t think I got that then. Bastards.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:14 (twenty years ago)

"what pere ubu needs to be reissued?"

The Tenement Year, Cloudland and (I think) Worlds In Collision

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 18 November 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

Oh and the original 390 Degrees of Simulated Stereo.

yeah that was a good article. the wire is good for something occasionally.

― bump, Wednesday, 23 November 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

ReR is evil, because they have a prohibitively expensive Henry Cow box-set that I want.

― do knut (donut), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

So steal it. You lazy man.

Kill me.

― do knut (donut), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 18:50 (twenty years ago)

I really want this box. Dave T. never sat me down and ordered me to buy these.

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

I remember the very specific moment, Dave and Todd were both working, I was sitting at the CD listening station on the left, it was a busy afternoon but Dave thought it was a higher priority to introduce me to music I should like then to sell text books and within the first couple of seconds of Sleep from Deceit I was sold, and utterly devastated.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

I have the two albums, but want to know how much better these remasters sound before I shell out for replacements. (See also: Can remasters thread.)

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

faust, art bears and slapp happy remasters sounded incredible, I'd be willing to bet these are no different (wonder if Bob Drake did them...)

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)

Skipping 190 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

The bonus 3" disc track is surprisingly fleshed out. Pretty neat--I hope there's more to come, and not at a rate of one disc per three or four years as one suspects. . . Hell, if they "recorded everything," there's bound to be loads of great stuff.

Does sound quite good, not too compressed, a relief.

― I.M. (I.M.), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 02:34 (nineteen years ago)

still haven't gotten mine yet. :[

― ((((((DOPplur)))n)))u))))tttt (donut), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 02:40 (nineteen years ago)

Tomorrow. It MUST come tomorrow. Lord knows the cost was sufficient to merit a prompt delivery. *grumble grumble*

― JMMMusic (Jimmy M), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 04:39 (nineteen years ago)

What do you know! I received mine the other day. Very nice and amazing sound. Far, far better than the original CDs. ReR remastering is all over the place. These sound incredible. Other things, like the Art Bears and Slapp Happy remasters, sound worse than the old CDs.

Everything about this set is delicious.

― Hot Hot Heat (Hot Hot Heat), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 07:35 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, the ReRstork has finally come. :D

(the same day I got the new slew of Can reissues: Can Delay 1968, Flow Motion, Saw Delight, Can, and Rite Time... jeebus)

― ((((((DOPplur)))n)))u))))tttt (donut), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 03:32 (nineteen years ago)

Grrrr.

Thanks for reminding me about the Can reissues. :( Now I need to weigh in my mind whether my love for Can is such as to be truly completist.

― JMMMusic (Jimmy M), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

design on the box is kinda wack.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 9 June 2006 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

the overall design or just the box cover? the booklet looks great

― Q('.'Q) (eman), Friday, 9 June 2006 23:11 (nineteen years ago)

Can anyone tell me if there are any better versions of "The Rough with the Smooth" available? This Heat playing Beatles/Olivia Tremor Control is almost the greatest idea ever.

― JMMMusic (Jimmy M), Monday, 12 June 2006 02:04 (nineteen years ago)

Got mine today. Very nice. Didn't get any extra Deceit-digipack though.

― strom (strom), Monday, 12 June 2006 12:59 (nineteen years ago)

Just think. If any of us had the 5000 quid for that Henry Cow box we could now start a thread frustratingly waiting for that to arrive.

― señor citizen (eman), Friday, 15 September 2006 22:13 (nineteen years ago)

― am0n, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 01:06 (eighteen years ago)

when are they going to put out deceit by itself, not in the box? i don't want the box! I just want deceit!

― akm, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 03:16 (eighteen years ago)

Flaming Tunes is fantastic, I like it more then some This Heat stuff.

― dan selzer, Wednesday, 28 March 2007 04:11 (eighteen years ago)

didn't they already do a separate remaster of deceit? like before the box set even came out?

looking forward to flaming tunes!!!

they did a remaster of This Heat and put it out by itself, but not deceit or anything else.

― akm, Thursday, 29 March 2007 23:10 (eighteen years ago)

the other 5 discs in the box are now all available via web / mail order as of two weeks ago, retail coming soon after

the 2CD ReR sampler comes with any purchase over $25. I would have picked different tracks but only because it's still basically my favorite record label in the world & I'm ready to split hairs

So yeah the band that developed out of them and the one they developed out of too.
