I agree completely.

It really is one beautiful and overflowing package.
I think the timing of the announcement has a lot to do with my minimal enthusiasm-- I read about too many horrible, upsetting things in the news this morning and am finding it really hard to swing on a dime to the opposite extreme now. On a normal day I would have been jump-up-and-down-in-my-chair excited for just the Red Demos lp and the photo book. But their gratuitous comment about "boring black vinyl" exacerbated my already aggravated mood and, honestly, my very first response to the announcement was "You want me to be excited about colored vinyl? Put Icky MONO on colored vinyl and give it to those of us who missed Vault #1 and THEN I'll be excited".JonnyH wrote:I agree completely.

I do like very much that they're remastering the original tapes of Icky and pressing it at TMP, especially considering Icky is one of the albums Jack has had to defend against accusations of clipping. If it sounds significantly different, I may end up like JonnyH, playing this instead of my original copy, just as I now do with the earlier Stripes albums reissued for the plant opening.
the icky repress is weak but they sort of knew that and threw in TWO Lp's that are pretty rad. I can't remember the last vault I signed up for. stoked!Stl_ben wrote:So no complaints yet?
