I seriously need to dig through my shelves to offload some stuff to make space and money for all the new awesome releases lately.

I’m glad that isn’t one that would make my FIRM fucking decision to only buy two!

I think these will be all over the place...bullmoose was one of the first places to post them (or at least on reddit) and flippers are chomping at the bit for that one in particular. It's still at Plaidroom and other retailers.

I owned Canadian 80's pressings of More Songs, Fear Of Music and Speaking In Tongues and these remasters beat them by a long shot. Though I know people swear by the original US pressings. I haven't heard those myself.

I have an OG Talking Heads 77 so maybe I will skip out on these but it's very tempting. I love that album...

Love Deluxe, as it’s a luxurious, rich, intimate, submersive, pristine white sand beach, secluded island, liquid rush of desire, soft pebbles, translucent sounding album!
Love Deluxe is a very unique, atmospheric, watery, deep, fragile, lonely yet warm album! The saxophone, intricate guitar lines, deep drums and slinking percussion let your mind run away to somewhere crystalline and pure!
🏝Love Deluxe is an ethereal, romantic, sultry, sensual quiet storm masterpiece! It is undoubtedly one of the best albums of the 90’s!

The original isn't a fold. This appears to be the first LP mono reissue except for an Electric Co. one this year. Rhino has put it out on CD before, but I haven't read reviews of it.

Sorry, it seems a lot more up in the air than I thought. I was going off of this that I saw a long time ago, as he usually doesn't say stuff like this unless he's sure.
Love "Forever Changes" - MONO vs. STEREO LP
about 5 years ago i passed on purchasing an original sealed MONO LP of Love's "Forever Changes" - going rate was about $60.00, IIRC. was the MONO...

However, in this thread, 5 years later, he doesn't contradict someone who says it sounds like some are dedicated Mono and some are fold downs.
Forever Changes in mono
Is there such a thing? I imagine there is. I love the album, but not crazy about the stereo mix; like a lot of music from that time the stereo mix...

I'll keep looking for something definitive.

My favorite remains Diamond Life. I have an original UK pressing of that one. Love the grooves on it. But I pretty much need all the LPs.

A lot of the popular titles end up selling out IIRC. If you want Talking Heads 77 though I have heard great things about this guy:
Talking Heads - Talking Heads: 77

With no details about these new pressings I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to get these yet.
I have that one and it's fantastic

This thread is funny. First he said this:Sorry, it seems a lot more up in the air than I thought. I was going off of this that I saw a long time ago, as he usually doesn't say stuff like this unless he's sure.

Then someone points out what he said in 2005, so he backtracks and says he thought they were talking about folding the stereo press using their amp that no one had said anything about, then says this:
This is some interesting pondering though.
Love Forever Changes US mono - anyone knows?
Just did a post on the great Love album "Forever Changes" US mono.( I was lucky and found my copy at a flea market here, but never seen a US 1st press...
forums.stevehoffman.tv
Who knows!? I'd be interested to hear it, but not sure if I'm motivated enough to grab it when the stereo sounds so good.
I would hope electric rec co would answer that for $300 but I don't know.
Edit: according to them it is "true mono" but they posted pictures of the master that says "stereo master" at the top.

i know you can't take discogs as a definitive answer but people are saying the 2018 CD mono mix is a stereo fold down also same with the 2020 electric pressing.so it's also looking like this is going to be a stereo fold down.

Yeah, insane that people bought that out at those prices without them explaining that discrepancy in their listing/photo.
