Gift Of Screws also available in Vinyl with bonus CD in paper sleeve.
 

Lindsey's new album will be released in two versions.

1. Standard CD in digipak packaging.

2. Vinyl set featuring one 180g heavyweight black vinyl disc in a
Stoughton jacket with bonus CD in paper sleeve.

Of course you'll be able to download the album also.

Awesome! I'm loving the return to vinyl trend that so many artists are doing now. :blob1:

hmm...i wonder if you can get the vinyl in stores?

I would imagine only the online stores like Amazon, Tower and Music Direct.

This is great. Reprise did the vinyl version of CV too.

I actually was wondering this! There's lots of vinyl releases at Virgin megastores and the such here in nyc. I will DEFINATELY be buying the vinyl version! yay!! Maybe I'll even buy a record player. :laugh:

Reprise did CV on vinyl? Wow. I'll keep an eye out for that.

And, Tango, Yes, Totally: I'm waiting on the countdown!!!!

Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham may be Warner’s next artist to embrace the dual compressed-and-uncompressed release strategy when his new solo album, “Gift of Screws,” drops Sept. 16.

“I don’t know when we’ll do this again,” Biery said, “but I had Lindsey in my office last week and we were playing the masters and they sound unbelievable. This may be the perfect next release for an audiophile-CD-and-vinyl combo.”

I'll be purchasing a copy too, and I don't have a "working" record player.

I also have CV on vinyl, hadn't opened it yet. Maybe one day!

oh yummmy.

ok, this is just me whining aloud but I detest digi-paks! They bend and tear easily and scratch my CDs!!

I realize this may be a trivial complaint but I am one of those anal collectors----give me jewelcases or give me death!:(:shocked:

Are they saying there will be a less compressed version of the album? I will have to get that! I assume the CD with the vinyl will be just the normal CD, but wouldn't it be cool if they released the same master as the vinyl on the CD? (Then again, they might have meant something different by "compressed-and-uncompressed")

EDIT:

Found this about some Tom Petty album released in the same fashion:

Along with the double LP, fans get an audiophile CD made from theuncompressed master tapes used to make the vinyl. Unlike the CDreleased in late April, this is a new version that aims toreplicate the full dynamic audio range of the LP.

I WANT THIS!!

I am the same way. BTW, the just passed the "750 mark" in my CD collection!

a friend of mine buys all his vinyl lp's from this site:
http://www.highfidelitydiscs.nl/customer/
and he's very happy with their service.
If i have any money left after my 2 Lindsey shows in october i think i just might order GOS from them :nod:

I know - I have all these rare records from the 40's and 50's that I cannot play. Oh Well :laugh:

Was Under The Skin released on vinyl?

You can order a Crosley replica record player from Ebay. It doesn't like you skipping ahead on tracks as it stops when I do it, but it's an okay record player. It's new, so it should last a while. I've had mine two years with no problems, except that I can't skip ahead or it will auto-shutoff.

this is the best news since the album news came out!!!!!

Congrats...
 

on the 750 mark...

I'm somewhere in the 9,000-10,000 disc mark myself (Which includes the bootlegs/CDR/Official releases I own, I dont count the discs I inherited from my Mom and her huge vinyl collection nor my huge cassette collection) - and for the record I HATE digi-packs since they FUBAR my organization of the racks my discs hang in.

are we positive on this? The descript at Tower only references one disc (vinyl) with no mention of "bonus" cd. please advise...thanks.

I know BestBuy.com has the vinyl. Not sure if the stores will get it...

I will avoid the vinyl edition, and purchase the regular disc (I hate digipacks - some do not fit correctly in my wall storage and I have to store 'em elsewhere)

Yes it's supposed to come out.

Here's the UPC #

Gift Of Screws (w/bonus CD) 093624983217 SRP $24.98

And it is listed seperate from the single CD.

Yay for jewelcases!
Digipaks, those plastic trays that come surrounded by cardboard, aren't that bad. they don't scratch the CD.

But Warner Bros. now markets the ecopak, a full cardboard cover, under the name digipak, too. And that packaging is really crap bacause the CD sits it a slit in the cardboard and gets scratches every time you take it out or put it in. I can't stack these with my other CDs, so I use my scanner and printer to design my own jewelcase. I last did that for Ry Cooder's "I Flathead", but refused to buy Sheryl Crow's "Detours" and the last Counting Crows album because of that and because they weren't as much of my liking as the Cooder record.
Warner Bros, please drop the cardboard covers and go for the Super Jewel Case instead. That is much more stable than the standard jewelcase even!

I wish they'd go back to jewel cases too. I believe they are just trying to save some green, instead of being green.

The LP is on Amazon with the bonus disc

I hate ecopacks too...
 

but you can order felt-lined cd sleeves that fit perfectly inside ecopacks, thus ending possible scratches to your disc (I also make CDR copies of ANY official release I purchase and play the CDR copy and leave the regular disc in the package to lessen any damage that could occur).

Ecopacks arent a great idea IMHO, Ozzy Osbourne released the "Black Rain" disc in one, and it did not contain ANY lyrics/liner-notes/artwork whatsoever, the EXCUSE was to save the public money on the release by "helping the environment" by reducing the paper usage for the said release - if one wanted the liner-notes/etc. they could download 'em off his website.

About 3 months after the initial release of the "Black Rain" album, It was released a second time in a regular jewel-case format, and about 6 months after that is was re-released yet again in a 2 disc jewel case...Only GREEN thing about that release was how to make a STUPID public purchase multiple copies of the same release, so the only thoughts of GREEN were how to make more of it from fans who bought all 3 copies!

That's a lot of discs!

And on the multi-disc releases, you're right..... green is green ($).

Holy cow. That's nuts.

Music collecting is my hobby...
 

and everyone in my family collects something - My oldest brother collects Nascar, my older brother Geary collects (Red Line) Hot Wheels (From the first few years Hot Wheels were made), Comics (He has around 50,000 comics - some worth several grand A PIECE) and Magazines (He just aquired a large collection of Playboys from the 60's, some still in the HTF Leather Playboy binders). Geary's wife collects "Ty Beanies" (Has ALL the original Beanies" minus 18 of 'em). Mom collected TV series on VHS (Long before the DVD fad), John Wayne memorabilia (She had EVERYTHING - even owned the rare as hell "John Wayne Rifle" which I believed was a Winchester) books on murder & conspiracies (ie JFK/"Green River Killer"/Charles Manson), Vinyl LP's (Including the Beatles infamous "Butcher" cover - I inherited her massive music collection which also includes cd's/cassettes/45's and a huge FUNK/Disco music collection) and of course her collection of "Playgirl" magazines.

My Uncle Dennis (A decorated Vietnam vet) collects guns (Owns his own armory and close to 600 guns, Yeah, I repeat, 600 guns!!!)

My bro Geary buys CD's for me when he sees 'em at flea markets/Garage sales - So I have more on the way.

I'm currently finishing off transferring my audio cassettes to CDR - Started with around 900 cassettes, down to 130 and I will be finished with that task...Then it's back to the stores for more purchases (Believe it or not, even with a tumor in my head I can EASILY recognize a song within 5 seconds of it's start - It puzzles and amazes people.)

Well I finally ordered Lindsey's new album.
Of Course I had to have both versions, CD and Vinyl w/CD!
How many bonus points do you get if you buy both? :rolleyes:
