The Mars Volta reuniting / new music (not being trolled this time, apparently)

[Mather]

Well, if these don't get a wide release I guess I'm not getting them. I'm not going to pay the insane shipping and duty that'll come from that web store...

Question from a casual fan - are we expecting these albums to get a more general release, or could this tomorrow be it? I'm interested in the obvious two but don't know how interested I am in terms of prices...

Have you checked out Landscape Tantrums yet? I definitely want the combo of Landscape and De-Loused.

It's so good.

We have no idea... Cloudhill has not been very forthcoming.

There's someone commenting on their Instagram story who seems to be in the know one way or another. If he's correct it's unlimited pressing, 6 main albums and Tremulent, $25 for Tremulent, $39 for double LPs, $49 for triple LPs. Some will be black and some will be colored. He could be talking out his ass but he seems to have the info and Cedric is commenting on the same story and not refuting anything he's saying. So it's likely correct.

Cheers. I see Juno has a listing for the boxset (although my quick calculations suggest that with VAT it's over what Cloudhill were selling for it). They don't always get what they put up for sale though (it has no release date, which suggests it might be a bit vague) The MARS VOLTA La Realidad De Los Suenos Vinyl at Juno Records.

I updated my post above with more info I just found.

Brilliant. Really hope I can just pick it up at a local eventually instead of ordering online.

Holy shit, yeah, I’m good.
I was considering a few as a casual fan, but man...nah.

Related, price-wise: OP copies of some 80s and 90s albums are hitting $50-$60 consistently, so you can see why they have them high.

They're definitely bargains compared to originals here. I'm sure they're counting on people making that comparison, and not just that $65 for an album itself is ridiculous.

What prices are we expecting?

 

[wenis]

so going by the prices for standard black copies, a VMP edition will be about $90 with the VMP Tax.

 

[folsom_lives]

So who should I call about my box still being "In Transit" for two weeks...?

 

[Mather]

Disgusting prices. $65 USD for a wide release, standard thin stock jacket, paper sleeves, no pressing info, 135 gram black record. Get fucked Cloudhill.

Grabbed Frances and a Bedlam shirt. I'll wait to see what pops up for Deloused.
