Great news

 

Remixed?!

Interesting...looking forward to more details.

yes... but i decided to unbury it ...

 

Probably in regards to the 24/96 DVD (remixed for surround-I hope!)

 

To be pedantic, the original mailer only had 'Massive' on it - their name was truncated on the first pressing.

I'll be buying it. LP of the decade for me. Think I'll play it again this evening.

My favourite track is probably 'Five Man Army', based heavily on the Dillinger & Wayne Wade track of the same name:

Please please please release Mezzanine next. That is a top vinyl want of mine, I have a copy but it's vg. The only way to get a flawless copy is to find someone who immediately removed it from the hard stock inners upon purchase and put it into a rice paper sleeve. Every copy I've seen/heard had lots of pops on the first tracks of each side due to rubbing against that hard inner. Anyway, I'm not really into Blue Lines as much but I'll pick it up.

 

Getting excited over these Fall releases. Feels good.

 

This one is way overdue-surprised it wasn't released last year (20th anniversary of the album).I expect the deluxe package to be priced north of $100- I just hope they include most of the mixes and b sides that were released at the time and that the 24/96 DVD has a stereo mix on it...

 

It's not cheap, I'll wait to see what is in the final package before I commit to buying http://www.amazon.co.uk/Blue-Lines-Anniversary-reissue-Version/dp/B0094RCD14/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_t_2

 

As did the original sleeve, though I have come across one copy in the mailer with a Massive Attack sleeve inside it from new, considering how scarce the mailers are I'm not sure how they managed that.

 

Actually that price isn't too bad if it includes the 24/96 DVD.What is 61 pounds in usd-about $90?

 

For that price, they could have put the remixes from the singles there. I guess they didn't because the Singles 90/98 box is still in print...

 

Guess I was off- should be about $100 usd-which is still not bad if it includes EVERYTHING (CDs,vinyl,and DVD).I believe the equivalent Bowie Station To Station super deluxe box went for $150 when new..

 

Where does it say they WON'T be there exactly?

Wow! What a wasted opportunity! Also I sincerely hope there is both a remix and remaster NOT just a remaster that has been remixed...

 

it's not noted anywhere but are the lps in 45 rpm ...
the 100th window are 3 45rpm lps and sound fantastic.

 

Personally, I don't think any of the remixes add much to the originals. I'll be happy just to have a copy on double vinyl.

 

I was wondering the same thing but couldn't find any information.

It certainly makes sense, as there are only 2-3 songs per album side. Kind of a waste to spread it out over a double album at 33 1/3 rpm.

 

Wow! What a waste of a reissue. No non album tracks??? The original cd and vinyl sound great already so really what is the point of this at a small fortune???

 

Certainly one I'm looking forward to. Especially the high-res downloads/DVD.

Will have to see how it's priced - only ever owned the cd, so I am tempted by the box, even if it is just the same music repeated over three formats.

And yes: Mezzanine done in the same style would be awesome. One of my favourite albums.

 

A must buy
