Finally it looks like Kissin’ Time is getting a vinyl release!! Hopefully Vagabond Ways will follow... Kissin Time [VINYL] https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08W7SH947/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_PCR3YBZD2DK5318NVBHY
ohhh I see, I assumed you’d gotten the release date and price from Amazon. Where did you get the release info?
I did, it’s all detailed there, on Amazon, if you follow the link. I’m not sure what you’re struggling with
strange, maybe it’s because I’m in America or something, but it hasn’t changed at all from when you first posted it. The release date is still just “2021”, the label is “unassigned”, and there’s no price and you can’t preorder anything. 2734-A5-E0-2-EFD-4-CC3-A60-A-FA0-EC60-F7-CF0
Weird. It’s definitely blocking you based on location. When I click the same link in my original post I see this
Looks like Vagabond Ways is coming in July as well! https://www.fnac.com/a15931669/Marianne-Faithfull-Vagabond-Ways-Vinyle-album
Disappointingly neither of these reissues have happened. Kissin Time’s preorder price has dropped today but the message from Amazon is along the lines of “we’ll email you when we get it” and Vagabond Ways has a release date now of 31 December from an independent retailer.
According to Fnac they’re both being released Sept 24th. There’s even a little press release statement: Originally released in 1999, Vagabond Ways was recorded at Teatro Studios in California and produced by Daniel Lanois and Mark Howard. Vagabond Ways is a collection of original material; including Faithfull's own compositions as well as interpretations of songs written by some of the finest songwriters of her generation such as Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Leonard Cohen and Roger Waters. The vinyl format is issued here for the very first time on heavyweight vinyl. Vagabond Ways is accompanied by the reissue of 2002' Kissin' Time. So hopefully it’s still happening in a few weeks.
Thanks for that, my Kissin Time preorder shows the seller as Amazon EU so that makes sense. What’s odd though is how few retailers are listing these and Amazon doesn’t even have VW listed. Looking forward to getting both of these.
It is odd, but maybe they’re only being released in France, or could it be that they’re fnac exclusives? They did just release the white vinyl of She Walks In Beauty as a fnac exclusive, even if you ordered it from her official store it came from fnac. I’m curious to see if these really turn up at the end of the month. I was also able to find UPCs for them on some other site (KT: 4050538650006, VW: 4050538649994), so that’s promising…
My Japanese CD of Vagabond Ways has a most excellent Bonus Track, a cover of Bob Dylan's "Blood In MY Eyes" which is maybe a cover itself... But either way, it sure would be nice to include it on the vinyl version! AH well, I can dream...
Pressing plants are backed up for years. Likely not listed because they have not been pressed or are even near to happening for some months.
True, but I’m not sure that’s the case here as preorders went live in April and other albums have been pressed since then that weren’t even finished at that time. Hopefully 24 Sept is the new date.
Weirdly I just checked my Fnac preorder and the status is “waiting for stock from supplier”, so I’m guessing not, but we’ll see…
FNAC usually say if their products are 'FNAC exclusives'. Vagabond Ways is not listed as such and appears to be a standard BMG release. If I recall, the release date in France has already been bumped once; the demand for vinyl pressing in Europe is now clearly far in excess of capacity. FNAC are good for quick delivery but be prepared to pay additional DHL fees on arrival.
I’ve listened online and I liked it but I saw a negative review of the vinyl mix on Discogs so waiting for a few more reports.
