Right on! Are all Gold vinyls the "side 4" version with the last four tracks the label cut off to keep it from being a double album?

Yeah. The LP version includes side 4

How do these sound? Amazon isn't showing a new release? Can you provide links to the actual items you ordered?

I'll just put this here,

Gold and Cold Roses have been recut and repressed. Cut by bellman. Pressed at pallas. I guess Amazon has them. i ordered them and they should be here tomorrow. I'll report back. Dirt cheap too. $11 and $16 respectively.

On my list

So I got through 1 record of these new pressings, ABing my original copies.

My Gold was purchased when it finally came out a year or so after the record was released (back when United wasn't over worked and had better quality control). I've always been satisfied with mine, though I know later pressings of Gold sounded awful to people, so I'm keeping that in mind when listening. I think this new pressing sounds so quiet and static free that the music sounds so clear and crisp that it would be a nice improvement over the original. especially for $11. A bit of nerdery, the new pressing has a matte sleeve whereas my original was glossy. Still no inserts. Also no polylined sleeves which is pretty standard with pallas, so its weird.

As for Cold Roses, again, I was happy with my original. There is surface noise, but whatever, I've made due and been satisfied. From the onset, I was blown away by how good the new cut sounds. The record is dead quiet which makes the music pop. The original almost sounds murky compared to this cut. Its really crisp and clear. Lows are low and bold and the highs sound great and crisp. Its fantastic. As for some nerdery, its the same as the original. has the insert. Polylined sleeves. As for the outer sleeve its funny because its the opposite of Gold. My original is matte and this new one is glossy. The new one is embossed as well.

Overall, I think they are worth the pickup, especially for the prices.

29 and Cardinalology were also re cut.

joberschlake

Nice. Thanks for the info. I ordered Gold, Cold Roses, and 29. Can't wait to give them a spin!

BrainOfJHA

Any way to tell on the outside packaging that it is the new cut? Or what is the best way to tell? Looking to grab Cold Roses and would like to make sure it's the new cut.

Tim Simmons

Cold roses had a sticker that Lost Highway 180g Audiophile pressing. Gold did not. I think I read 29 has the same sticker as CR.

I keep hearing a song "It's so hard to be without you" or something like that on Sirius...Is it new or old? It's a really good song, makes me think I should be listening to Ryan Adams.

Tim Simmons

Yeah, its called To be Without You from his new album Prisoner. And yeah, you should be. You can start with Prisoner if you like the new one, but check out

Heartbreaker
Love Is Hell
Cold Roses
Jacksonville City Nights.

in that order. and enjoy the long descent into a catalog of hundreds of songs (both released and unreleased and with his old band Whiskeytown)

I'm going to have to dive in if To Be Without You is emblematic of his material.
That song would be right at home on my favorite all time album, Neil Young's Harvest. That's about the highest praise I can give it.

You won't be disappointed. I would also add Easy Tiger to the list. Enjoy! I got into Ryan late, and he's become the artist I listen to most. And Tim Simmons is the poster I listen to the most. He seems to be in all the good music forums. His vinyl collection must be insane. Anyways you're in for a treat.

Another email from PaxAm today:

"Pax-Am are sorry to announce a delay with the “Prisoner End Of World Edition Boxsets.
Quality is important & we need to make sure everything is perfect.
We apologize for the delay & any inconvenience caused.
We hope that all will be forgiven once boxes ship out - on or around April 28 (US Store Orders) May 10 (UK Store Orders)."

joberschlake

The Chris Bellman Cold Roses sounds fucking great!

ledvedderman

Yo DRA friends on here, digital files of the 17 End of the World Box Set are getting sent out tomorrow. Shall we honor the system of what we had prior to Prisoner and inform one another if we come across them?

Tim Simmons

I got my email this morning. They are pretty good. Similar in sound to Prisoner.

ledvedderman

Super jealous, man. I should have ordered it.
