Garbage / CD and vinyl reissues

garbage_3LP

Garbage will reissue a 20th anniversary edition of their 1995 eponymous debut album in October, across a number of different physical and digital editions.

A two-CD deluxe edition and 3LP vinyl box contain the album plus nine-track compilation of period B-sides (referred to as ‘G-sides’). The vinyl box comes with an LP size ‘fan-generated’ booklet and an autographed photo of the band. The vinyl also comes with a digital download.

A two-LP release is album tracks only, although photos seem to suggest this is a coloured vinyl pressing, whereas the box is black vinyl. Whether the coloured vinyl is limited or exclusive to one channel is not clear at present.

While the physical sets include the B-sides, you get none of the many remixes issued at the time. Curiously, and disappointingly for SDE fans, there is a super deluxe edition that goes well beyond this offering but it is DIGITAL ONLY. You get a massive 41 extra bonus tracks above what’s included with the 3LP or 2CD. This content features 11 unreleased tracks including half a dozen “early demo mixes” of some tracks. This is available via iTunes (and other places too, probably) but you can offset your disappointment at the lack of physical release by grabbing a pre-order of this digital SDE from Amazon – if you’re quick off the mark – for less than £8!

Everything has been newly remastered from the original analogue tapes. These reissues aren’t officially released in North America, so everything there will be an ‘import’.

Garbage 20th Anniversary Edition is released on 2 October 2015.

Price watch: The pre-order status and price are a bit all over the place at present but the 3LP set should be around £65 or $95. The current Amazon UK price of £55 is in line with this. The 2CD should settle down to about £13, but only Amazon France is near that at present. The digital SDE for £8 is a no-brainer.

  1. Pingback: Garbage vinyl and CD reissues – SuperDeluxeEdition
  2. Pingback: Garbage / Version 2.0 reissue | superdeluxeedition

  3. U.B. where did you read that the 3LP box ships in December? Amazon.de lists it as Sept 2015 and out of stock, uk as 30 Oct.. I found a retailer that supposedly has it at 2-3 days and the price seems right (too expensive).
    Does anyone have it? Why is it so expensive?

    2. Shane, the garbage.com – store says: “PRE ORDER – expected dispatch date w/c 7th December 2015”

      I doubt that any store is able to dispatch it earlier…

    2. Qobuz seems to have three editions including the “Super Deluxe” 62 track edition, but the description of the resolution is confusing. It says 24-bits / 44.10 kHz, but that doesn’t make sense since the first 21 tracks should be 24-bits / 96.00 kHz. But, considering that they have priced the “Super Deluxe” several dollars less than the “Deluxe” 21 track edition, maybe they are serious? If the album was recorded in 44.1 I guess that’s possible. Does anyone know more?

  5. Thanks TheRedPen and also Deadhead. You can’t even buy the 2CD version from Amazon anymore! You are greeted with this message: “Item Under Review
    While this item is available from other Marketplace Sellers on this page, it’s not currently offered by Amazon.co.uk because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are dispatching it, or the way it’s described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

    We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you may still find this product available from other sellers on this page.”

    What on earth is going on this release?

    1. Could be they are receiving complaints about the packaging. I’ve had to send the double CD pack back 3 times now to Amazon because the idiots they employ to pack stuff are slipping this into a card envelope for dispatch. Needless to say the card CD case arrives crushed each time. Waiting for my fourth one to arrive.

  7. Dave, I assumed these were no digipaks as discogs didn’t mention it and it seemed like simple folded cardboard. So I ordered from amazon. I stopped ordering online when there are double digipaks because the spines will be all crushed indeed.
    Usually the spines are ok in stores, so i choose to pay a bit more to have it in really mint condition. I hope I won’t regret it and it’s not digipak.
    In the meantime I chose FLAC for the Super Deluxe, I hope I can convert it in my iTunes easily.

  8. I picked the 2 CD set up on Friday and was really disappointed at the presentation. A flimsy digi pack, all examples in store of which had damaged or crushed spines, and a cheap booklet with lyrics that are barely legible with no background essay. The music cannot be faulted, but you could hardly call this a deluxe offering when the original release in jewel case and only the single disc is of better quality.

  9. >Thanks for the Qobuz link! They have a CD 16-bit version and a High Resolution one. What format is the latter? Does anyone know how much space it is for the whole release? I’m running out of space but don’t want to wait :)
    Also, is the 3LP box out at all? Nobody has it in stock

    2. Sorry, I don´t know the format of the Hi-Res files – I chose the WAV-Files.

      As far as I know the shipping of the 3LP Box starts in December…

  10. First time poster, but I thought you all might like to know, I purchased the 2CD version from Amazon, and with their autorip service received the super deluxe version for download. A sort of best of both worlds scenario.

    1. Thanks Deadhead, you just saved me some money. I’d already bought the CD from Amazon and was about to buy the super deluxe MP3 download when I saw your comment. Cheers.

  11. I did … unfortunately…

    I paid the full price (20,29€ – no special offer for customers in Germany!) yesterday evening and today I found out, that QOBUZ offers a Hi-Res Download (24 Bit – 44.10 kHz) for €19,49 and various other lossless formats like WAV, FLAC, etc for €12,99!

    Of course I bought that too…

    So I paid more than 30€ for the digital content because there was (and still is) no information about the release of a lossless version of the super deluxe edition around…

    Perhaps the following link (hope I´m allowed to post it here?!) could be included in this article by Paul, so whoever is able to by via QOBUZ doesn´t need to pay double the prize for lossy files…

  13. You have to give it to Amazon, I complained about them cancelling the order and I actually got a phone call from customer service apologising and saying they would apply a credit of £7.99 so I would still only be paying £7.99. How many companies let alone e-tailers would actually phone to sort an issue like this out. Yes they could have saved themselves a lot of grief but at least they stand by their promises. Yes I would have loved physical versions of the remixes but as I don’t have all the cd singles I’d rather have them all for £7.99 than not at all

  14. Similarly, via customer service, Amazon contacted me within seconds of clicking the button on their customer service page. The man was very helpful, but couldn’t understand what had gone on. He gave me £7.99 credit on my account, so I could order the 62 track version at the promised price. No links involved!

  15. Well, I’ve contacted them.

    They were very apologetic and said ‘due to some technical issue this was cancelled and this is now available to purchase at a price of GBP 7.99 instead of GBP 15.98’.
    They offered me a link for a copy at the original price of £7.99.

    Unfortunately, the link takes you to a copy of the standard 21 track digital download, not the 62 track version.

    I have, therefore, contacted them again, but have yet to hear back from them.
    For those of you who have already contacted them and been asked to re-order a £7.99 version (rather than order the £15.98 one and have the difference refunded), please check any links that they may have sent you. You may well be ordering the 21 track addition in error.

  17. i managed to get in touch with customer support and they’re sorting me out for the pre-order price. Slightly annoyed that they deleted the initial release and replaced it with a similar one which is technically different, so they wouldn’t have to honour any pre-sales price. Again, glad they are honouring it, good customer service on Amazon’s behalf!

  18. I too complained to Amazon and got a response by phone. I’m now paying £7.99 instead of the inflated £15.98.

    If you did pre-order and still want it, just get in touch with them. They will sort it out for you. Excellent customer service.

  19. Also got the cancellation email in my inbox. However, having a search on Amazon, there’s a 62 track MP3 download for £15.99 instead of the deal of the century price we all ordered it for. Don’t think I’ll be taking them up on this, as part of the fun is scoring the deal price. BTW, it’s a load of crap that Amazon couldn’t source this album in MP3, if they have it listed for twice the price. I just think they didn’t want to get burned offering it for such a good price.

  25. They should have either offered the compressed low quality downloads for free or put them on CD like the rest of the album and made it a bigger disc set – that I would have purchased! The downloads are just a cop-out, which I will not be bothering with and wasting money on, and to class it as a Super Deluxe Edition because of these is bull!

  27. Almost £16.00 for tracks that are just digital downloadable files – what a rip off, considering the sound quality will be less than CDs and probably the vinyl and without all the nice packaging and artwork the 2 sets come with. The downloads are not worth the money, especially as most of it is just remix after remix after remix…….

  28. Well, yes, £16 is still a bargain. I don’t think anyone would disagree with you.

    However, I think that it’s a bit shoddy to:

    A) Offer a ‘price promise’ of ‘Whenever you pre-order an item eligible for our Pre-order Price Guarantee, the price you pay will be the lowest price offered by Amazon between the time you place your order up to and including the release date.’

    B) Then to cancel it two days before release with a reason of ‘We are unable to provide an estimated release date at this time and have cancelled your order. We will continue pursuing this MP3 album and hope to be able to offer it to customers in the future. You have not been charged for this order.’.

    C) Then, finally, to re-list the item at a higher price the same day.

    The above completely negates the ‘price promise. If we still want the download, we will have to pay the increased price, not the ‘lowest price offered by Amazon’.

    It’s obvious they realised they’d messed up and so, to cut their (probably very small) losses, they cancelled orders and relisted at the new price.

    To be honest, I’d have been happy if they’d just owned up to their error, apologised, cancelled my order, and sent a link to one with a new price, in case I wanted to re-buy.

    It isn’t the first time they’ve done this to me (and others) and I think it’s a pretty poor show.

  33. I see Amazon have decided not to honour my order @ the £7.99 price they put up originally for the SDE due to a ‘problem’ and cancelled it – re-directing me to the £15.98 link. Disgraceful.

  34. My pre-order has been cancelled today!

    We’re writing because an unexpected issue prevents us from delivering your pre-ordered MP3 album listed below:

    Title: Garbage
    Artist: Garbage

    We are unable to provide an estimated release date at this time and have cancelled your order. We will continue pursuing this MP3 album and hope to be able to offer it to customers in the future. You have not been charged for this order.

  35. Amazon have just emailed cancelling my pre-order for the deluxe MP3 stating an unexpected issue preventing delivery! Odd, was too good to be true.

  38. They can shove their Digital Super Deluxe Edition where the sun don’t shine because I am not paying for music in a format that is slowly killing off the beloved CD and Vinyl formats that music collectors have loved for so many years and can actually ‘collect’ (put on shelves) rather than just have a hard drive full of listed tracks to ‘click on’ and listen to in lower quality sound.

  39. I begrudgingly pre-ordered the Garbage on download at the pre-order price of £6.95. It’s now listed at £15.98 with the new link provided. Seriously hope that the Garbage camp see sense and issue this as a physical product. Too late now, methinks!

  42. This sucks! When I want a Special Edition I want it on CD (or Vinyl) but not as a digital download. This release is something for the fans who were there 20 years ago, this is not for hip Youngsters who can’t appreciate a physical Piece of Music.

  43. This is the most disappointing reissue of all. On the subject of multiple discs, the digital deluxe edition is broken up into 4 “discs” on iTunes so I don’t think a 4-disc set is too much for an anniversary set.

    And it’s baffling that not only did they separate the b-sides from the original album only on physical (why do companies do this? They can and will fit on one CD and, honestly, 99% of the people listening will do it through their mp3 player so retaining the “original intent” is a bit moot in comparison to giving the fans want they want, which is everything in the SDE physical).

    And what’s most baffling is the fact they excluded the original version of “#1 Crush” on the disc! It should have been on the bonus disc ALONG with the Remix.

    It’s upsetting that no one else is making a big stink about this on social media. Fan demand can create change but aside from myself and a few others, it seems the other fans are complacent with the digital only business.

  45. Am I one of the few people who thinks the concept of a “digital exclusive” is kind of like being told “but this manure is rose-scented”? If I’m paying for it, I want it on a disc in the best quality possible. Shove the crappy downloads right where the rose-garden excrement came from.

    1. Same here! I don’t expect every single remix made for this album to be included, but at the very least they could have made it a 3CD release with some of the best remixes!

  48. I suppose being a ‘rock’ band, some of their hardcore fans might find dance remixes too much a horrible departure from their style/direction, so maybe that’s why they weren’t included on the physical releases. But that still doesn’t explain not including the demos…..

    —–then again, special editions of their ‘Absolute Garbage’ compilation from many moons ago had a bonus disc of remixes—–

    But as someone with a wide taste in music, I love both their rock and dance output. So I can only repeat my wish for a separate 3-disc remix collection.

    1. All those mixes on Absolute Garbage were edits and who knows with the track times not being listed on that digital download some of them maybe edits as well.

  49. I think the 2CD edition with the regular album and the b-sides is not a bad idea: it guarantees a fluent and coherent listening as you get all the era’s songs, not some obscure remixes of a the singles. I personally would have put the original mix of “#1 crush” to these b-sides and the nellee hooper remix onto the remixes, but that’s a question of personal taste. maybe they could have put these 21 songs onto a single CD but I am not sure if the running time of a CD would be enough for all these songs.

    surely, it would have been nice to put out a super deluxe editon in the CD format but hey, I don’t think anybody apart us few hardcore fans will bother. Surely, U2 etc did it, but to be honest, I think Garbage play in a different league saleswise. I guess it wouldn’t just make sense commercially.

    What I am curious about (maybe Paul can help here): why did you leave one mix off the super deluxe edition? I am speaking of the ‘Torn Apart’ mix of “Vow” which was released on the CD single of that song? Why include everything else, even some unreleased era remixes (massive attack) and new/old ones (another question to Paul: do you know if the songs 52 to 56 are new mixes made now or mixes from the 1995 era which were just not used back then?) but miss out on these special remix?

    Also: does anybody know if the super deluxe edition will just be downloadable in the .mp3 format or in .wav or .flac as well?

    1. The US version of 7digital.com has the same preorder track as iTunes and Amazon (“Subhuman [Supersize Mix]”) available for purchase as a 16-bit FLAC, so I’ll guessing/hoping eventually the entire digital release will be available that way. (Their UK site doesn’t have it yet, who knows why.)

  50. I sure would have been happy with a least one additional cd with the most vital remixes. I too have many of the cd singles, but it sure would have been a nice touch. The second cd in the deluxe set probably has about 35 minutes of material on it.

  51. About the digital/CD controversy: I think they opted for digital only because the 30 era and 11 unreleased mixes/demos have a running time that would need another 3 CDs. So the first CD for the album, the second for the b-sides, the third, fourth and fifth for the mixes… Of course, this would have made an excellent CD deluxe set but then again many would probably complain about the price.

    As a fan since their first release, I already have most of the mixes on CD, so for me digital is fine, I will buy only the mixes I do not already have in a digital format (the mixes which were released only on vinyl back then) and the “new” demos/mixes.

    But: download formats .wav or .flac would be nice

  52. I planned on buying this – until I saw that most of the extras are digital only! No thanks, I won’t be buying this (or any possible Garbage releases in the future) if this is the way they are going to be “released”…

  53. Yesterday I commented that I don’t like remixes, and I’ll stick by that. But demo’s? Hell yes! But wait, they’re digital only…….

    At the risk of getting a ban around here – I’ll be honest and state that I’ll personally make a protest about their approach by waiting a day or so before it hits the, erm, music graveyard that is the Internet for free. Digital music is a nice freebie, but nothing – NOTHING – is better than physical product. Since the record company won’t provide the product I want to me, then I shall withhold my funds and enjoy the music anyway.

    I don’t want vinyl, been there done that. For the price range being quited for the 3-LP set, they could have made a few more CD’s quite easily. They simply choose not to.

    For the record, I recall seeing Garbage live at a small club in Washington, DC just before the album really hit big. The band sat in the bar before taking to the stage, having a couple drinks. Good times.

    1. I think you must have misread the article. The remastered album AND the b-sides are included in the deluxe edition which has a physical release on both CD and vinyl. It’s the remixes (which you’re not interested in anyway) & a few extra demos that are digital only. So what you’re looking for (the album & b-sides on CD) is available.

      This next comment is not directed at you, but at the general tone of the comments I’ve read here. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, certainly. Mine is that there’s just no pleasing some people. I’ve seen so many artists and bands being completely trashed by their supposed fans simply because they’re not giving them EXACTLY what they want. The reality is, it’s impossible to please everybody. Clearly these are not independent releases–the band wants to give fans what they want, but the reality is that sometimes compromises need to be made in order to satisfy the record companies as well…otherwise these releases would not happen at all. There are many artists I love who have never reissued any of their back catalogue and likely never will, and many reissues that are put out by record companies have no input from the bands and often are simply cash grabs with no quality control. So I’m very thankful for bands like Garbage who take the time to personally oversee a reissue like this one, including the remastering (which sounds fantastic, in my opinion). Would I have done anything differently? Sure. But just because it isn’t EXACTLY what I want, that doesn’t make it a steaming pile of sh*t either! It’s still a fantastic, enjoyable reissue nonetheless and well worth picking up! Some overzealous fans really need to get a grip and appreciate the fact that Garbage is still alive and kicking, and that they care enough to not only put out this reissue but to tour behind it as well.

      1. If the band supervised the remastering process then they probably are suffering from an early and dramatic hearing loss, seeing how compressed the dynamic range is, even on the high res version. This remaster is awful, except if you like mush. I’m glad I still have the original CD.

        1. “Compression”, “dynamic range”…
          Just can’t hear it anymore. Those expressions (in this context) did not seem to exist back in 1995.
          Today people are listening music with their eyes. I don’t believe that you really can hear differences between Originals and Remasters. You just read “remaster” and complain before listening to it. Just because others do.
          I myself don’t see a benefit of Remasters. But I remember tapes, which were really bad productions. So mp3s or Remasters are still better than them.

  54. Ah…..’Digital’. Only’.

    My two least favourite words in the English language.

    The 62-track deluxe edition would be amazing to have, but as Aussie iTunes would be my only option, the higher expense (up to 60% dearer than other iTunes!) just for MP3s makes it a no deal.

    41 extra tracks is enough to warrant another 3-disc set in itself, so I can only DREAM there will be a special deluxeremixes collection release soon after.

    It’s just so damn frustrating that so many deluxe reissues lately look so promising in concept, but end up disappointing in execution.

  55. great and comprehensive – a must buy for me!

    still two minor flaws:

    1) where is the ‘torn apart mix’ of “vow”? this seems to be the only mix missing from the era.

    2) super deluxe edition only available as digital download. i see the problem of putting 62 tracks (including long remixes) onto CDs but a .wav or .flac download would be nice.

  56. Yesterday disappointed by Phil Colins reissues.
    Today by Garbage (And I was so looking to buy this. Yeah, was)
    I really hope no reissue news tomorrow !

  63. Just go to Amazon Marketplace and pick-up all the original CD singles for pence if you’re desperate for the mixes. Really, the only ones worthwhile are the Tricky and Massive Attack versions of Milk. Not getting the demos is the kicker.

  64. If you’re a fan of Garbage, you will already have the remixes on CD or vinyl. If you don’t where were you when they were released back in the day?

    1. It’s certainly possible that they have picked up some new fans that weren’t alive when they were initially released. They have been putting out some pretty cool RSD 10″ singles the past couple years. Or possibly they didn’t like it then, but their tastes have changed since. (This happened to me with Pixies – didn’t really love them until after their main run.)

    2. For reissues, fans like to see as much as possible assembled in one place and where remixes are concerned, a solid selection of them. Fair enough?

      Check out the Lisa Stansfield reissues for a good example.

  65. The SDE digital download only edition is on Amazon in US for $28.49. I don’t know current exchange rates, but that is probably higher than UK. But for 62 songs still probably not a bad deal if you are a big time Garbage fan.

  67. You would have thought they would have AT LEAST put “Milk (The Wicked Mix feat. Tricky)” on the second CD, considering that was the single version and track 1 on both CD singles!

  68. a 3rd disc of 12″ mixes would have been perfect.
    as it is I’ll probably go for the 62 track download and get the 2 cd later.
    (I just like to have actual cds) I am tempted by the vinyl though.
    the 3Lp would have been perfect on pink vinyl.

  71. what a f***ing idea! Only sucking Dl to please the fans ???
    Really not intersting… PLEASE, members of Garbage : give us at least release a 4CD box! Include the demos on the physical format and a selection of remixes !!!

  72. I believe at least a few of the remixes were vinyl only (like the Goldie VIP… remix of Milk), so that will be nice. Even though it looks like they’re “emptying the vault” digitally, there are still a few missing items, like the 7″ edits of Girl Don’t Come and Sleep, the promo version of Supervixen, and probably a couple more. If I didn’t already own this stuff, I’d buy it again. But I do, and the rest of the package is not particularly compelling. (And that blog post from the photographer added a slight bad taste to this, frankly.) So as much as I loved this album, I’ll probably just stick to buying the demos digitally if they’re available, and skipping the rest.

  75. What a wasted opportunity. All those mixes should be on CD. Annoyingly (ie cos I’m a sucker) I’ll have to buy this just to get Kick My Ass, but this could have made a worthwhile 3 or 4CD box as well as the 2CD.

  76. Shame. I really would like that deluxe digital edition, but I’m not sure it’s worth the pickup in MP3. Maybe we’ll end up getting lucky and it’ll end up on HDTracks for a reasonable price like the recent Sisters of Mercy reissues.

    Much as I am tempted to gripe that it’s not being made available physically, at 62 tracks, that may be a little pricier than all but the most diehard would like to pay. I may be underestimating their audience, but I suspect Garbage wouldn’t sell thousands of 4-disc compilations at this point, so keeping it digital-only for the whole enchilada is probably best.

    1. Last year I ordered the pink 2 LP edition at Amazon. Price was about 20-25 Euros. And I got an Auto-Rip of the super deluxe version. Without the LPS it would have been more than 60 Euros at that time. Don’t know what it is today. But for me it was a nice Business;-)
      Just if you are still looking for the whole thing at all reasonable price.

  78. Triple vinyl a bit steep even with the signed print but if it’s limited to 1000 then the diehards will gobble em up.

    The pink 2LP edition will do me

  82. From observations on the official Garbage store, and monitoring the stock numbers, it looks as though the 3 LP Vinyl box is limited to 1,000 copies. That’s the amount of stock that site is holding.

  83. what a strange approach. ideally, if they were going to save the overload of remixes for a digital-only release (which makes some sense given how many dubs/edits/versions there are for Milk, Queer and Stupid Girl), they could have put the demos with the G-Sides, and maybe even a “best” remixes 3rd disc. i hope they at least have some sort of bundle where you can buy a physical format and get a code to download the missing ones, otherwise… dumb.
