I've not been on here for a long while and trawling back on this thread doesn't seem to show an answer to my problem so here goes. I ordered the vinyl and 2CD bundle, with the CD being for the extra tracks (four on CD1 and six on CD2). The bundle arrived today and the CD tracklisting is exactly the same as on the vinyl i.e. Year of Purification through to Miss Europa Disco Dancer with none of the extra tracks.
Has anyoe else found that on their copy? Did I miss an announcement that the CD tracklisting had changed? The website is still showing the CDs with the extra tracks so I'm a bit miffed.

Hey, how's the vinyl of this new set?

Mastering, pressing, etc?

I've found most Manics vinyl to be pretty crap - poorly mastered and pressed, so just wondering if this one follows suit, or if it's actually good.

The 2CD was definitely advertised to have all bonus tracks:

I would complain if they haven't done so - false advertising.

Yeah - I've now raised a ticket via the website. Let's see what they say.

Anyone else clocked on to the new/old Masses lyrics?

Hello it's us again
We're still so in love with you
And yes, we mean it too,
Yes we're so in love with you

Hello, it's us again
We thought that you were our friends
Success is such an ugly wold
Especially in your tiny world

The masses against the classes
The future is what we believe in
We are the animals but you are the useless
We're still together
But you're no longer dangerous

Ahhhhh

We're so exceptional
And we're still fundamental
So many people's lives
It must kill your empty minds
Hello, fond farewell my dears
I hope you hear this nice and clear
Our love is unconditional
Our hate is yours to feed upon


The masses against the classes
The future is what we believe in
We are the animals but you are the useless
We're still together
But you're no longer dangerous

No lyrics inside the deluxe set is a weird one. I always thought the original KYE handwritten lyric booklet was very cool.

Absolute DPD fail on my physical copies, *sigh*. Rearranged the date. I am the animal, they are the useless!

Not doing this nonsense again. I’ll just get it from Amazon next time.

Just received an email to say that it’s been sent via Royal Mail today. Should get it tomorrow or Monday then.

£10 postage and they can’t even get it to fans on the day of release ��

I remember ordering from their store years ago and you would always get the album a day early.

Probably the industrial action had a knock on effect.
And is the tracklisting on the CDs just the numbers that were intended for the album?
Do the discs still read 12 and 18 in the player?
Well hope it doesn't blow your Friday evening.

The tracklisting printed on the cover is the same as the vinyl and the CDs show 10 tracks (42m 27s) for CD1 and 12 tracks (46m 52s) for CD2.

Pressed at Pallas. Pretty quiet surfaces. Pretty bass heavy on the mastering.

The more I listen to this, the more I feel it is Butch Vig producing Nevermind. Does it sound too nice? Too radio friendly? Have I suddenly lost my mind after saying just 3 hours ago it might be the best reissue that they have done?

KYE 2001: no production

KYE 2022: some production

I know your mileage may vary but I honestly think we’ve made out like bandits with this reissue.

Yep still waiting for mine and Royal Mail will not provide an update until 'delivery has been attempted' Grrrrrrr

No postal joy for me :(
