Copper Blue by Bob Moulds Sugar in your collection?

I would buy a series of Husker Du Re-Issues that omitted the Hart songs. hell, sign me up for the Deluxe Box Set.

And yes. Have had a copy of this since it was released.

 

Yeah copper blue in full! I hear there's a new Bob Mould album coming out soon if my sources are correct

 

Great album. I especially the like the run in the middle of "Hoover Dam"/"The Slim"/"If I Can't Change Your Mind".

 

Yes, the special edition copper metal package!

 

Love both Sugar albums, and Black Sheets, which came right before. Loud guitar Bob at his best.

 

out on March 25

 

Yes, and looking forward to Mould's new LP.

 

Yep. Also have File Under Easy Listening, 5 Huskers, and several Bob solos

Mr. Mould is well thought of in this household...

 

Don't forget the live CD coming out on Record Store Day. I think it's free.

 

It is. I haven't played it in years but things like that change...

 

What?!! I'll wait in line and attend the first RSD in three years for that !!

 

I never could get into HD or Bob Mould's solo stuff but I loved Sugar. I also have the copper-covered limited edition of the debut, along with Beaster, the very difficult to store limited edition of F.U.E.L. and the limited double disc of Besides with the live album. Great band!

 

Please lay off the autotune Bob, this is a superb track in every other way...

 

That it is! I have one too, I wish it had somethiong besides the special packaging.

 

I 'blame' his electronic/techno hobby for the use of autotune. I'm not a fan if it either, but Bob has earned the right to do whatever he wants.

 

Indeed he has, but it sits less well in a song like this that's otherwise a revival of the Sugar type sound. Would prefer the imperfect Mould vocals we all know and love.

 

Ditto. Don't mind paying for Mould but even better if true.

 

Copper Blue is one of the best albums of the 90s, imho, and it is one of my top 10 favorite albums ever. The first four songs might be the greatest 1-2-3-4 punch ever to open an album. Put it in, crank it up, and from "The Act We Act" through "Helpless" everything works.

I had the Rykodisc for years, and I like the Merge reissue, but it took me a while to adjust to what I hear as a change in speed of "A Good Idea." Seems faster on the original, with more fire.

Bob Mould is woefully under recognized as a major influence in US rock music. Dave Grohl gets props for commonly acknowledging Mould's influence.

The Black Sheets of Rain tour show that I saw is my top 5 concerts ever. The closing/encore of "Cinnamon Girl" was epically fast and loud.

 

Didn't Dave introduce himself to Bob as the guy who had been ripping off his stuff for years?

 

Check the Merge Records site. It will be in a free Bob Mould-themed fanzine they are putting out for RSD. No idea which stores it will be in or how wide the distribution will be. Going to try my best to get one too.

 

Thank you much for that information...

Had the CDs since day 1, recently picked up the Copper Blue / Beaster set on vinyl.

 

Yep, there it is. Lonely and underplayed.
