If there was ever any doubt, just announced today via Cherry Red and The Residents: "Meanwhile, next up in the pREServed series, we’re delighted to confirm, will be two highly anticipated sets. Firstly, a 2CD 1971-1972 thing, which will include ‘The W***** B*** Album’, ‘B.S.’, three live recordings made during that period and some other related bits and pieces. You’re probably aware that ‘The W***** B*** Album’ and ‘B.S.’ were released as Record Store Day only titles over the last couple of years, but this is the first time on CD for both. Something of a bumper 2-fer about that one!"
And a pREServed, 2CD edition of "Not Available" is coming out around the same time, too...

Edited 5 years agoMan, I will buy this for $100+ if anybody has a used (or new) copy... Can't find it ANYWHERE...
-
Edited 6 years agoI saw THREE new copies of this for sale in a record store last week (8/11/2018). So, copies still exist at a sensible price. All you have to do is get down to Leuven.
-
I purchased my copy in a local record shop (doubt if it was in Ostend or Ghent) during RSD week at the "normal" list price of about 25euro. But indeed, RSD is being exploited by so-called "music-lovers" buying all limited editions and then re-selling them as "very-very-limited" (of course, as they bought all of them) at ridiculous prices. My advice: send them a discogs mail with your kind opinion. This has nothing to do with "happy collecting", it's just a race for quick money... shame on them! -
Prices coming down!
Hold steady, the flippers will get realistic if they want shot of them :)
Also, I try small shops like you said. This would be nice at the right price, nothing more. -
...for what it's worth, the Residents announced in an email that this will be included in a Pre-Residents volume of their archival CD series, along with a bunch of other unheard material and such.

Edited 7 years agoI find it incredibly amusing the lengths people will go to cash in on something with a high overhead, especially with a band like The Residents. While incredibly fanatical, we're certainly not stupid enough to take the bait and actually oblige the people reselling this at such an absurd price. A word of advice: this is a RSD 'First' release, there are more copies of this to come, and most likely with everything that this initial run came with (reproduced art, insert); you are NOT going to get anything more than $40 out of this. -
Beautiful remaster, but my copy has a visible and audible flaw on A11 "In the still of the night" that causes a scratchy pop across five rotations. No way was this missed in the test-pressing, it's prominent but anyone else get that, or is this my singularly uglified one-of-a-kind!
-
Edited 7 years agoThis is the best LP ever made. I wonder if QRP made it at 45 RPM Mastered by Kevin Gray. what would it sound like. Would there be more detail. I heard someone stole the original tapes of this recording. Were they given back to Homer and Hardy. -
