I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Modern Lovers tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Niagara record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal Detroit techno hit - 1985, '86, '87. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good '60s cut and another box set from the '70s.

I’m losing my edge.

Nice find. Modern Lovers confirmed.

That first album is still fantastic. I saw them in a small Toronto venue on that debut tour and they were great, aside from having zero personality at the time... but I think they were all pretty young at the time...

They they were a really young raw band at the beginning. It’s funny to me as someone who really started getting to music in the early 90s my First experience for bands like Soul Asylum and Goo Goo Dolls we’re their water-downed versions that they used to garner mainstream success but you’d read pieces on them and writers would always reference them as being underground Replacement-esque type groups. Now as a 40 year old, having I lived long enough to see band’s “sell out”, I understand why David Fricke always felt it important to address the fact that Soul Asylum was edgy fun early in their carreers.

I need a copy of Up The Bracket and yeah, they are briefly discussed in the book.

Conversely I have a nice copy of that but having been waiting ages to get hold of a decent copy of their second. Just put a pre-order in for the 20th anniversary pressing of the What A Waster 7”. It and Don’t Look Back Into The Sun are my two fav Libs tracks and both are non album singles 😒

Man, if it's Interpol, those bastards will have kept me another 3 months.

I don't think they'll improve on the sound quality, so I mean it boils down to "does fancy colours, an art print and maybe an improved jacket mean that much to you?" If the answer is no, then you should be able to EASILY find a copy. Hell, it's under $20 on Matador's site right now.

They could make it 45rpm like Low End Theory.

You're not the boss of me! It's a top 10 album for me so I'm fine with getting another copy. They improved upon the Strokes and Phoenix so I'm fine with trying if they could do the same for Interpol.

A Matador release going for super cheap on the labels store at same time VMP announces their ROTM 🤔 … very Darkside.

*shrug*

I guess...
I mean, I'm not trying to convince you either way. If you want it that's fantastic and I do hope the VMP version somehow improves on the standard pressings. I just think, for me at least, that it's going to be that much of an improvement, for one, second that it even needs a fancy pressing...or at least one that'll even justify the $33USD add on cost.
