I picked up Ozma at my usual shop last week.  They didn't have any info on Bullhead

(PAUL)

Looks like Bullhead has a 5/18 release date.

https://midheaven.com/item/bullhead-by-melvins-cd <- I know it says cd there but it has the preorder for the vinyl available on that page. I like their description of It's Shoved.

Quote"It's Shoved" is a groovy beat for the cast of Shindig to bop along to, until their carefree performances of The Pony, The Mashed Potato, and The Watusi are horribly interrupted by the soundstage tilting up and sliding them all into a mangled heap of screaming dancers, broken cameras and flaming electronic equipment at the bottom.

Hail, not fail.
PS:  fuck him.

Thanks Paul! I got my copy Ozma a week or so ago, sounds great!

"And now comes Bullhead's turn for the vinyl reissue treatment. New gatefold cover. Put it on your turntable and pretend that you're Kurdt Kobain hearing it for the very first time (heroin is optional). Pre-order here: "

I wonder if it's colored vinyl?

I think the bullhead is green vinyl. Should have went with blue.
If Anyone on here is goin to that show tonight could pick me up a set of those I could pay you some cash or a tour/haze glow version of PAT. Long shot but figured I'd ask.

these are colored (from fb). green and blue, I don't know which is which.... colored ones are only available from these letterpress editions on the road from the band. good luck to those who have a chance to get one!

anyone with success; please post pics...

Tom says on fakebook that he'll rerelease Lice-All and Eggnog separately too but it'll take a while.

Picked up Ozma and Bullhead today; the gatefold sleeves really do them justice, great work!

Expect around this time next year.

My guess is They will Re-press using the original Stampers, that would be a time and money saver too.

This Boner reissue sucks....again. I've really had it with them. What's the coolest thing about vinyl? To me clearly the size of the cover artwork. And what do they do? They make the acutal art smaller (why on Earth would you do that????), put an ugly frame around it, and as a last straw pair it with another release, which I already have in its original form (Ozma). Now a second chance to make it right - and they fuck it up again. Before ordering, I just had a quick look on Discogs and the Bullhead reissue seemed to look fine. Unfrotunately, they have uploaded the original artwork, not the, as they proudly(?) call it, updated art. When my LP arrived, I wanted to throw it right out of the window. They made the letters bigger and the art smaller (again, WHY???), gave it a duller shade of blue than the original (or my bootleg, which I wanted to replace), and to top it off, there is a pink smudge on the front cover (I asked my dealer, and the other copy he has, has the same issue). How can you botch so many things at a time? Was it a wager or something? Beats me.

Third Man did it better, but not perfect either. What's cool about physical releases? The credits in the booklet/on the sleeve. So why did they remove the credits from the Stag reissue??? Makes no sense. And it's not really cool towards all the people who were metioned there.

Do the Melvins deserve these shitty reissues? I don't think so.
