Cool, happy to have all the originals!!
That's rad. I've never played my Freak Puke picture discs.
"Freak Colossus Sausages"
i thought LUCKMACH was back. :lol:
I will be purchasing all 6!

6??
I'm intrigued to see what they do with the vinyl. Freak Puke won't be a problem. A 42 minute record will be a single disc but Sausages and COD will be interesting.
Sausages should have a double version with the Clowns bonus tracks. or at least as an extra option.

Hell yeah. My crappy clown mp3s could use an upgrade to proper vinyl

The last couple years of Ipecac vinyl releases have had a black variant and a color variant, and I've got both of each release. Never thought I'd start being a completist nerd.

I like how all three have had their covers changed to some degree. I think the Sausages one looks better than the original although i prefer the original Freak Puke art. Funny that Mackie has had to add a strip of additional art along the bottom on the COD cover. Obviously because the original design was not square and was probably never intended to be so.
I don't think I'll pre-order from Ipecac official store. Will wait and see if it's available at other online stores I frequently buy from.
In order, would like the Sausages set(agree they should have included bonus tracks), then the C.O.D. one just for shits and giggles. Can't imagine I'd listen to it anymore than normal because it's on vinyl.
Freak Puke could probably do without. I have the AmRep pic disc, purchased at the Cleveland show on the 50/51 tour. That was literally the last time that AmRep vinyl was decent priced at a show, think it was around $30-35 in 2012. I remember the following year the AmRep LPs on tour just skyrocketed, and I was like yeah, I'm out. No more collector's vinyl for me. Ipecac standard releases are fine.
I'm also in a "wait and see" with this. Freak Puke is the most essential of the three albums but I have them all on CD (twice for some). I might wait for some kind of letterpress or other art edition on their next L.A. tour date (next year's probably). If I kisss out, of well. I've run out of room to store records.
Ugh, I was thinking I should just get the black vinyl, but as I started ordering, all 6 ended up in my cart.
I did resist the urge for an Ipecac hoodie, the latest Venamoris album, and the second Human Impact album, but I might do those on a separate order since they aren't preorder.

⬆️ this. LOOOOOOOOL
I do luv that ipecac is reissuing Colossus.. actually it had me the most excited of the three albums.
anyone have a guess on how fast these will sell or have an idea which album will go first ? Maybe freak puke ? just curious
Yeah I think I'm going to skip these as my completionist days are over with all the ridiculous and unobtainable AmRep releases.
Already have all the original Freak Puke variants, the complete clown series of 7-inches and COD would likely never get played.

I would guess freak puke will go first since it is the most popular of the 3. I think you've got a while on all of them though. I bought the "limited edition" pink splatter Houdini live 2005 album when it first came out and you can still find one for sale online pretty easily, years later
I say collossus goes first. vinyl collectors are music snobs. music snobs commonly equals melvins fans. melvins fans want collosus first.
Yea sure. Whatever, glen...

I feel like we might be missing out on making an adult merch coloring book with mad libs song and album titles. Mazes and word searches.
STOP SAUSAGING ME YOU MAKE ME WANNA FREAK PUKE

Aweeeeee :D
I hope this pressing of Freak Puke actually includes A Growing Disgust as advertised. It's listed on the back cover of the picture disc version but missing from the album.

Oh yeah you're right. I'd forgotten about that.

I smell another Ipecac pressing fiasco!
"Growing Disgust" is the best one, too!

absolutely unacceptable! :o
Same thing happened with Hold It In vinyl with missing songs that are listed on the back cover.
Basses Loaded vinyl included a hype sticker mentioning Krist Novoselic but the song he plays on isn't on the album.
Being autistic I can take things too literally sometimes but I could never tell if it's a mistake or if it's all meant as a big joke on record collector nerds.

It could be the latter, but it sure reads as carelessness.

Nah. No one cares about fxxxking your brain more than the mighty melvins. As super fans, we all deserve it.
I see COD has been added to the bandcamp page!

Track 2 sounds great!
:D
I went ahead and pre-ordered Sausages from Bullmoose. Bundled it in with the Beat - Live 2CD/BluRay and a couple of used CDs to get free shipping from a $75 order.
For Freak Puke, I'll definitely wait to see if Growing Disgust is included. If not, no reason to buy when owning the pic disc. As for COD, plenty of those will be around for awhile, not in a hurry. That'll be a bundle up with something else. I'm sure the best part of the COD package will be Buzz's liner notes, stating that it's one of the top 3 Melvins albums and everyone who questioned it is Wrong! :lol:
Do we know if Sausages and COD will be gatefolds? They better be. If Ipecac cheaps out on the pkg, fans will be truly annoyed.
Got ELS 2LP in the mail yesterday. Vinyl looks good, std black. Gonna thrown it on soon. No gatefold pkg, oh well. Booklet w/ the art is cool though.
Can anyone report on Freak Puke or COD? Discogs says Freak Puke restores A Growing Disgust, but I'm not sold until I see a review there or someone reports it here. Could be just an auto-fill on the site for the track list on the '25 reissue.
Buffalo show fucking ruled last night, BTW. Melvins continue to prove they're the best band on the planet!

Thanks for letting me know before we go any further.
Better go to the doctor to get that checked out.
Weren't these supposed to ship from Ipecac late September?
Ok, got an email today that my order is coming from Ipecac Europe. I definitely ordered everything the same way I've ordered anything in the past. Weird
Still waiting. I've emailed them twice and confirmed my shipping address. They said they are looking into it but last response was 3 weeks ago.
So, has anyone purchased Freak Puke '25 reissue, and can someone confirm if A Growing Disgust been restored to the album?
Thanks in advance.
Got a response yesterday that they are considering my order 'lost in post' and they are going to send a replacement package.

Good thing it didn't sell out in the meantime.
Finally showed up Thursday evening.......and I'm out of town. Will be a nice treat when I get home tomorrow
Having C.O.D. on vinyl is awesome. I played it at 78 speed, and saw COBAIN! :lol:
