Lifeblood reissue announced

[Europa Gluten Free]

If it's getting a release now, I'd say that's a good indicator that the new album is scheduled for the autumn winter with a winter tour.

To be honest, it'll be interesting to hear the demos. Especially if any of them are acoustic. This was the before the "demos on the second disc" era so they might actually be demos.

Being lazy here because I'd have to type it out, but the link works in Chrome if not the App or other browser.

Press CMD+the link if you're on a Mac. Opens a page rather than the app.

CD2 and CD3 are actually quite decent.

Will be interesting to hear actual demos and the Visconti mixes. Plus Maida Vale 2004 is their best ever session so glad to see them on there too (but no This is Yesterday from that session boohoo).

There's more space on CD2 but yeah, those 12 b-sides! Forget how stacked that era was!

Not sure about TBtGoG, but God Save the Manics songs were on the Japanese Lipstick Traces and Leviathon was on the Send Away the Tigers deluxe set as a bonus track.

[Son of Stopped]

Alternate version of 1985. Wonder what that'll sound like?
EDIT: Also had a feeling we'd get some news on the 6th page.

defensive? how so?

Nothing surprising but good nonetheless. Hope the remaster brings TLORN in line with the volume level of the rest of the album and punches up To Repel Ghosts to be a bit louder. Thinkin a remaster can bring it from, like, a 9.5 to a 9.7

Super interesting to hear those three Tony Visconti mixes and the (total of) three different new 1985s. Demos are always interesting too, shed a new light on the music. Sad to see the b-sides haven't gotten a remaster. Only The Soulmates -- for some reason. Could they have considered it for an album addition?

I'm a bit confused with the lack of To Repel Ghosts from that session....
