Damn, this thread got bumped and I thought it would be available here!! Lol
Wondering the same thing. I also just found De-Loused in a record ship ($99 for VG+/VG+) and have been on a Volta kick. Bring on the new music, merch, represses and future tour!
Haha, sorry. It's like when you see someone's name trending on Twitter and you automatically assume they either a) died or b) were arrested.
Don't have De-Loused, just the Frances with the sixth-side etching and this Amputechture. If and when there's a repress I'd probably just grab De-Loused unless for some reason the original Frances held its value and I could sell it.
You ever want to get rid of either of those you let me know!
I definitely lost a lot of interest in the band after Theodore left, though I don't remember if that was an acrimonious split or what. It was probably because the records got worse, though.
It is odd that the Frances seems to be 2 LP instead of 3?
AGREED!
Would be a tight fit considering it is 77 mins long.
Well yeah I agree, but isn't that listing only two discs?
That is correct. The official Mars Volta pressing is 2XLP, the unofficial that is well regarded is 3XLP. I can't speak to why this one is 2LP. Different manufacturer I assume. I really have no other details other than I almost paid double this for the 3X unofficial, so I am cool with this one as long as it sounds how others say it does!
I'm pretty sure the official is 3LP as well. 5 sides of music with etching on the sixth.
