heyyy pdx, real quick, if any of yal didnt pick up the boner lp reissues from 2015 ie eggnog/lysol ozma/bullhead i saw at least 1 copy of each a few weeks back at the everyday music in beaverton; honestly surprised they were still there
Do they come with posters?
Hmm. Will have to think on this one. The completist in me says yes, but I know I won't listen to those a ton. Was hoping it would be a 3-record box set at no more than $40.
First new vinyl purchase of 2017 I got was the brand new reissue of Zappa - Joe's Garage. 3LP double-gatefold, 180 gram, outstanding artwork. A nice deal for the retail price of $37. Gonna stay away from the others(Money, Weasels, Ruben, Lumpy) for now. Those are all single LPs at around $25. Don't need everything on vinyl at that price, when I have all the best versions on CD besides.
I agree with Chief that it's a little steep for all 3.
I'll still pre-order the King Buzzo EP.
hey chief- did u mention that the packaging was less than desirable through bullmoose for the atlantic lp reissues? im thinking abt using midheaven dot com instead; same place i preordered the boner reissues from 2015 and they package WELL as i experienced; ie no bent corners, jacket splitting, or damage in general
If I decide to grab them I hope they are available at 2nd Ave Records so I don't have to mail order them.
these reissues r totally worth owning- hoping EM in beaverton will stock them
Wow, two PDX people in here!

completest in me says hell yes as well; i prob wont listen to these a ton either but still...
i agree a boxset on these wouldve been the way to go.
also nice pickup on that joes garage reissue sounds like a great package- honestly id expect nothing less from zappa
The Atlantic reissues I got from Bullmoose were packaged well, but the slightly bent corner/crease on one was probably sent to BM that way. I'm pretty anal with vinyl/pkg condition, but a not 100% perfect corner doesn't bother me. The only issue with those 3 was the quality of the vinyl on Stoner Witch which was widespread. I got the Boner reissues from BM too at release time, and they were perfect.
Jeez, just in time. I was getting super close to pulling the trigger on all three originals but these are a god send.
Sounds like they will come with the posters.

Posters belong on walls, not hidden away. Your have a very perspicacious teenage self, don't lose him.
Expected release date (UK) is 24 February, pre-orders from the usual shops/outlets, prices averaging £21 each.

True. They sure would be cool to frame and hang. It's about time to get rid of the family pictures and wedding photos anyways.

I can't remember in which interview, but hasn't Buzz previously mentioned that there was an idea of releasing solo EP's of Pinkus and other bassists just like they did with the solo EP's they did on Boner Records.. Maybe one with McDonald as well? :)

I just picked up all three at 2nd Ave here in Portland. I was pretty surprised since I thought they weren't coming out until the end of the month.

2nd Ave is notorious for selling bootleg vinyl - are the ones you picked up legitimate?

So far I've only played Dale's and it sounds great. The poster isn't as large as the original pressings but it does come with a download card.

Notorious? Jackpot records maybe but I don't think 2nd Ave are that bad. Sure they have boots but they are always clearly marked. I'm no expert but so far these sound and look good and they have download cards.
They had all 3 at the Everyday Music in Seattle. I picked up the Buzzo one (can't afford all three at the moment) but it looks and sounds great. Comes with the poster/insert and download card. Wasn't expecting to see them there. Nice surprise
I was going to order at least the Dale EP, since it's the best of the lot. Bullmoose site now has them listed as "in store" only. WTF? Oh well, I'll walk in and see if Record Theater in Buffalo has them, since they carried the full album Boner reissues.

Already pre-ordered from Bullmoose. Wonder what that means for me?

Hey! These are the real thing! Picked my copies up today as well at Amoeba.
Maybe not notorious, but I always see Zappa boots, AC/DC boots and even have seen Melvins boots there (like the Making Love Demos on vinyl).
Listened to Buzz, Dale and now on Side 2 of Joe. (In my opinion a Side 2 as great as My War Side 2).
The vinyl sounds amazing, the reproduced posters are cool (these are 12"x12", not sure what the original release came with), the covers look great.

Just checked my original copies (bought when new!). They play at the speeds indicated on the labels and the original posters are 12.5 inches by 16.5 inches.
Yeah - I fucked up on the speed comment. hahaha!!!! I realized I had my turntable set to 45 but thought it was at 33 1/3. Fucking stoner I am. I am a Daft Sod! :)

I was always kinda disappointed in the Melvins solo posters...cuz the original Kiss posters sorta interlocked like puzzle pieces and created one continuous image...like they all flowed into the others. pretty cool, but the Melvins ones don't :(

The KISS posters were the best. I have gone through three sets of those up on my wall during my lifetime. Might be time to get another.

King Buzzo just arrived from Bull Moose. A+ on the shipping and was marked as fragile. All of the packaging appears tight and corners sharp. Looking forward to its first spin later on..

:banana:
King Buzzo vinyl just crushes... too bad we have likely heard the last of Dale Nixon..
http://www.allmusic.com/artist/dale-nixon-mn0000567284
Went ahead & pulled the trigger today from Bullmoose. They must have filled all their pre-orders, all three show as available to ship. Might as well have the whole set before it goes OOP again. $16 a piece ain't too bad I guess. I want to play Joe's backwards. :P
update:
Got 'em today in the mail. All sound & look excellent, sonically improved without brickwalling. I must say I'm listening to "Joe" right now, and it's a real piece of work, no "homework assignment" IMO :) SunnO))) owes their whole career to "Hands First Flower". :lol:
Of note, the Joe EP has side one(Eagle & Bricklebrit) as 45rpm, and side 2(HFF) as 33rpm. Don't think I've ever seen a record where the sides are split up in speed. Also I know it's on the back of the CD cover too, but on Dale's EP, what it the "3-1/2" circled? Is that a reference to Black Flag's "Kira's got the 10-1/2"? :P
I also love the press release for these solo EP reissues: :D
"In 1992 the Melvins' fascination / adoration / denigration of the mighty KISS rock and roll universe compelled them to excrete out three solo masterworks inspired by the KISS solo LPs. The first in the series is King Buzzo, from the Melvins' giggling guitar grumpus. Four songs of atmospheric clanging and rockin' banging. Also features the many talents, drumming and otherwise, of a famous Grunge™ superstar, whose name sort of rhymes with New Wave Asshole. The second in the series is Dale Crover, from the Melvins' sleepy drum caveman. Four songs of gloomy heaviness, with Dale doin' the drummin', singin', guitarin', and dancin'. The third in the series is Joe Preston, from the Melvins' electronic beard warlord. Three songs of fuzz bass computer drone temper tantrum. All three 12-inches reissued on vinyl after 100,000 years out of print."
Joe and Buzz Eps are up for pre-order on BB's site for 6.99 a piece.

It is a reference to autograph of Peter Criss. He always has a 3 circled. But then maybe adding the 1/2 is a combined reference to Kira? hahaha!
Dale:
There's gonna be some reissues of [1992's Kiss-satirizing solo records] coming out too. As well as a surprise fourth one. Remember, there was only three. The solo records, the Kiss parody, we parodied Gene, Peter and Paul – there's one left over! Somebody's gonna do a fourth one. You can probably guess who that person might be.
I don't know!!! :-k

Boner Records/Midheaven fucked up and pressed way too many if Best Buy is getting their hands on them and selling at half-price 2 weeks after release date. Shit like this is one of the reasons why Hazelmeyer runs AmRep the way he does, and though I might not be totally on board with it as a buyer, it makes total sense from the the artist/band's side.
I cant guess who the fourth Solo EP is. :-k
has anyone purchased the solo reissues from midheaven?
