Holy shit....VINYL....I'm gonna go kick myself in the face now.

it's in the store now!

(pre-sale)

how come the shipping cost is so high for this, the cheapest to the uk is $11.40, when i ordered Lee's All the stars 12" the other day shipping was only $2.80 and now it has gone up to $13.00 :confused: i might wait to order this and see if the price changes again

to be honest, between those 2 I think $2.80 is the wrong one :D

they must of made a mistake because they only charged me $2.80 for Lee's the other day, i thought this was to cheap, looks like i got a good deal :D

ok i suppose i can't complain about $11.40 for SYR7 then!

are sonic youth obsessed with french or something?

yes, "bit" expensive shipping, alright

ha vinyl means more shipping costs!!!! cmon with the cd release for us lame arsed slck pretend fans!

Was "J'accuse Ted Hughes" remixed / remastered ?

from what? i'm sure they didn't use the webcast audio for the EP.

I don't know if the source of the circulating recording is an audience recording or from the soundboard or whatever, but it doesn't sound bad...

Will there be a significant difference ? that's my question.

The circulating source it's a very, very lossy soundboard (i think it was an 32 or 64 Kbps). For sure it's the same source to be released (since it's just one soundbard :D), but transferred from the master tapes, lossless and, i think, professionally remastered.

Yeah, it would be a nice bonus to the vinyl only release:D

Just spotted this on the Midheaven mailorder site...

***The seventh installment in Sonic Youth's series of experimental and sometimes instrumental releases on the band's own SYR label features on the A-side a previously unreleased 22-minute drone piece recorded at the All Tomorrows Parties festival in the UK in April of 2001. At ATP, the band previewed instrumental and early versions of songs from the then soon-to-be recorded NYC Ghosts & Flowers album, and this exclusive performance was the premiere of "J'Accuse Ted Hughes."
The B-side is a soundtrack-style piece recorded at the band's Murray Street Studio in 2003 for a never-realized collaboration with French clothing designer Agnes B. The 18-minute-long song was recorded by a five-piece version of the band-- the four members of Sonic Youth plus Jim O'Rourke, who also mixed "Agnes B Musique."

This LP will be soon followed by a CD-only release of the band's Another Side of Sonic Youth Roskilde Festival performance, where the five-piece Sonic Youth line-up was joined by saxophonist/reed player Mats Gustaffson and electronic noise legend Merzbow for an hour of improvised music.

WOW...
