A Manics fan, let's call him 'Lionel'
Saw albums in the clouds, a whole sky-full
He walked off a roof
Thinking 'This Is My Truth...'
And his head had turned into the vinyl

*'well-known' in the loosest sense, i.e. not at all.

Saw a copy today in HMV, i think it was £19.99. Pre-ordered acopy off amazon which of of course was a few quid less.

I don't buy vinyl, but is £19.99 really the going rate? Seems even more extortionate than the prices of CDs in the 1990s.

Yeah it seems to be. Some even go for more.

I dont get the point of these reissues without the original inners and everything

Eh, mid 90s to mid 00s original pressing vinyls are rare. Would love to know more about the numbers, I bet the original Forever Delayed and Lifeblood vinyls are rarer than the limited edition Generation Terrorists picture disc.. probably more copies of the RSD Holy Bible than the original. So think these reissues are welcome sometimes, no idea about the inners of this one but it was only a couple of years ago that there was a repressing anyway, weird.

Hasn't this been reissued already by Music on Vinyl?
I only have an original so might get this .. You can never have too many copies of a manics album

Yeah, think it was around 2010-2011 that they were releasing the Music on Vinyl stuff. Can't remember the order they came out but they've done Everything Must Go through to Forever Delayed, was initially surprised the others weren't touched but made sense hanging on for 20th Anniversary Generation Terrorists I suppose but that just confuses me with the timing of this.

Wonder if Gold Against The Soul or Lifeblood are going to get this treatment any time soon. Journal still seems to be well available.

Have any of these issues been remastered?

Well one of my best mates in school bought all his albums in the 90s on CD and vinyl. We thought he was mad at the time. But it means now he has all original presses of every classic 90s album. He has them stored at his dad's house. I bet they are worth a fortune now.

Doubt it very much. These are just a money grab to be honest.

Does this new vinyl release have lyrics/art/booklet?

I would absolutely love for them to bring out a 20th anniversary re-issue of Truth. It was the first Manics album I ever bought/first tour etc. I would imagine that commercially there is mileage in bringing it out given how popular and successful it was at the time. They could really make some beautiful box art work a bit like the promo box that came out as well. There must be loads of footage, rough demos, pictures etc stored in the archives (would love to hear the faster version of Tsunami). Maybe bundle in Leaving the 20th Century in on DVD?

I'd buy it!

The B Sides from the singles off that album are pretty decent:

Prologue to History, Montana Autumn '78, Socialist Serenade, Buildings For the Dead, Black Holes For the Young, Valley Boy

My first Manics album too, didn't see them till Know Your Enemy tour though, paper round didn't quite pay enough.. Course it was a massive album at the time, but I'm not sure how kind time has been to it.. I love it, but it must make up half of all Manics albums I've seen in charity shops and Cash Converters etc...

Still, plenty of stuff to include in the box set. Think the Holy Bible and Everything Must Go 20th anniversaries could've been better had the 10ths not been released, so Truth has that going for it. None of the demos have seen the light of day yet, there's the cassette b-sides that haven't had UK cd release and the Dutch Everlasting live tracks. I've loved the documentaries included in the last few reissues, I'd be happy if it included summat like that Close Up documentary, but if they went and made a new one reflecting on the period 20 years on I'd love that. I'll be surprised if Tolerate doesn't get the RSD treatment that Design and Your Love Alone have had last couple of years.
