Yeah, I was there and I’ve got the tee shirt (and the review which you can find here) to prove it and I loved it, really I did, read all about it. But the movie? Slow down cowboy, that really sucked (yup, I reviewed it here) so between the two of em I am now the resident LCD has left the building expert and as such I heartily applaud Warner Brother releasing the entire concert -we didn’t get most of it in the movie, on five albums for Records day on April 19th.
This is what WB had to say:
“LCD Soundsystem: The Long Goodbye: LCD Soundsystem “Live at Madison Square Garden” – 5 LP Set with download card – Limited to 3,000 units
The Long Goodbye is the complete, unabridged recording of LCD Soundsystem’s near-four-hour April 2, 2011 farewell show at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Produced and mixed by LCD founder and frontman, James Murphy. The Long Goodbye is the ultimate audio document of LCD Soundsystem’s now legendary final show. The album’s exclusive mix brings new life to every note of music played during the epic MSG show- including of course the performances featured in the acclaimed film, Shut Up and Play The Hits, which chronicled the concert by painting an intimate portrait of Murphy navigating its lead-up and aftermath. This special box set will be released exclusively on Record Store Day 2014 over a month before it is available anywhere else.”
Personally, I think WB should give me a copy.
But in the meantime, they have other stuff readied for Record day including, 18 unreleased demo tracks off the Green Day triple begging an answer to the musical question, why Billie Joe, why? Your problem was alcohol and not speed. Here you go:
“Green Day: Demolicious – Colored double vinyl, CD, Cassette
This special edition release features 18 unreleased demo recordings from the Green Day ¡Uno!, Green Day ¡Dos! and Green Day ¡Tré! sessions at Jingletown Studios in Oakland. Demolicious includes one previously unreleased song “State of Shock” and an acoustic version of “Stay the Night.” Now for the 1st time, own this special edition compilation on red or clear vinyl, CD, or cassette.”
What else?
“Neil Young: Official Release Series Discs 5-8 Vinyl Box Set; 4-LP, 180-gram black vinyl in reproduction jackets housed in telescoping box.Limited to 3,500 units
This limited edition box set includes the classic albums: Time Fades Away, On The Beach, Tonight’s The Night and Zuma, each remastered from the original analog studio recordings at Bernie Grundman Mastering. The artwork is a historically accurate reproduction by Young’s long-time art director, Gary Burden. These classics are being reissued on 180-gram audiophile vinyl for the first time and pressed at the world’s premiere pressing plant, Pallas MFG Germany.”
But really, LCD is selling point here…
