Sonic Youth's new Japanese label
 

A question for you, Moshe:

Will the Japanese CD of the Battery Park show be the same as the US / Euro BEGN LP, or will it have more tracks to fill the extra time available?

Get to it....

ahah moshe i hadn't noticed yr sig

(this would have been an awesome artwork for the single by the way)

Nice! Your next question: Is the Matador Battery Park LP tracklist the same?

that looks fucking 'must have!'

Did you order direct from hostess? was this easy to do?

nope. ordered from hmv.co.jp

does anybody know if the new generic SY CD MAY be a digipak?
or not?

From Amazon: Initial pressing in a 4-panel wallet with two printed inner sleeves; one containing disc, the other a sticker and card with credits. Subsequent pressings are jewel case.

Japanese live CD is the same tracklist/order as the BEGN LP. The US "Eternal" CD is in a paper sleeve (not a digipak proper as there is no plastic tray).

o wow that would be great!

Is possible to order the Japanese CD of The Eternal with the bonus live cd from Europe?

Why oh why must the Japanese release ALWAYS be so much better than the North American release? This really gets on my tits, time and time and time again.

With an online translator it is, the price including post for this box set is 8148 Yen (£55).

EDIT: I've just seen the English button, so i didn't need to spend ages translating after all. :o

Because they cost more. Tower Records in Shibuya often carries both the domestic and imported versions of a new CD. The domestic Japanese release is normally about 30% more expensive.

Payback for WWII?

don't see the english button but used translator. anyway, can't see any option there to order the Limited Japan CD + the bonus CD (Live at Battery Park '08) CD?

I'm happy to just get th regular CD w/ no extra tracks cuz these two suck me thinks.

Yeah, but what about the t-shirt and sticker and all that?

i don't give a flying fuck, i just wanthe CD to end with Massage...

I want this... mainly for the Battery Park disc, which I've been wanting to hear since I saw the show. Shame it's an altered/condensed setlist though.

Was this the full show?

no.

Okay thanks, I didnt think so.

cool but still didn't see a way to order this somewhere?

News in Brief: Sonic Youth, Mad Decent, caUSE co-MOTION!, Tyvek

-- Get your import bin money up: Sonic Youth will release a Japan-only box set version of their new album The Eternal. The Eternal - Sonik Tooth Box will include the new album with two bonus tracks (taken from their Record Store Day split 7"s) and Japanese translations of the lyrics, a live CD taped at Battery Park, the Sonic Death '09 zine, T-shirts by Toga Nejico, and a sticker. And judging from photographic evidence, a stick-figure drawing of a skull with a mohawk will be somehow involved, always a good sign. According to a MySpace blog post, the box will be out June 3 on Hostess, the band's new Japanese label.

Those are the two tracks from the two Record Store Day 7" singles...

I want that sonic death thing...

ah hah! hadnt checked that out not being much a beck fan. Thanks!

I know I'm hoping against hope here but I'm hoping that BEGN orders will receive flac downloads of the Live LP trax. It'd be a nice touch since that Japanese CD is so expensive. And after today's BEGN download, who knows? Maybe it'll happen...

Peace.

Good point.
Having a "digital version" of all the live tracks would definitely be a nice addition. Also coz of the different tracklists (LP vs CD). We'll see.

I'm sure someone will rip this.

No doubt, but an "official" input would be nice he he ;).
Besides, I'm actually considering buyin that japanese box, uff....I need to sell some stuff in order not to feel guilty...
