unfortunately, i think the master tapes for sister were recorded over when they did that monstrosity experimental jetset trash and no star.

and for fuck's sake, people, you can still find the albums even if they're out of print.

Yeah i know the story but i still don't believe that there aren't some tapes doing the rounds somewhere.

are we talking about reissues or deluxe editions now?

Please stop using that ridiculous term.

The whole thing with re-issues of back catalogue albums is that they rarely have in mind the fan but more the casual listener who might feel attracted into buying more from the same band.This is all fine as it is the crude and unescapable law of commerce but what bugs me with these deluxe editions is that they could have sold the rarities disc separetly which would have made some difference to the wallet without me having to buy an album that i have in every shape and form already.Everyone is free to make a few bucks the way the want but at least they could try and be more creative while targetting their buyers.

Give this man a chocolate bar! The whole of the Master-Dik EP needs putting out on CD.

I don't do downloading, I like those shiny silver discs. And I know that the Masterdik b-side was put out with tongue in cheek, I remember full well listening to it when it came out and being unable to understand what the fuck was going on, but it is still a part of SY's history, I would like to see it on CD.

Please, don't be too literal about my use of the word "need". I still use the word in the same way as I did when I was three years old and wanted a new toy.

Opinions are opinions and we all have them.If a record is scarce though i'd say,yes,re-issue it regardless of its quality.

isn't this thread about those expanded editions, dirty and goo has been released, what next? i said daydream nation because i think that would be really cool, and then work from there backwards. from the 90's washing machine would be interesting too.

So should all things that have been released as bootlegs automatically not be given some sort of an official release then?

i think there's this one sequence on master-dik b-side that totally rules...
Ringo/He's On Fire/Florida Oil Drums/Westminster Chimes

i think this could have been a perfect companion to the white(y) album "deluxe" reissue.

If there is ever a Sister deluxe issue, I suspect that will be when the Masterdik b-side will find its way onto CD.

yeah, fair enough, since master-dik was the cd bonus track there.

if they ever make such an edition i hope they have the original artwork there...

Do you feel that the Goo Demos should not have been released as part of the Goo deluxe reissue?

There is very little by Sonic Youth that I haven't heard, swa(y). I started collecting their stuff while you were still potty training.

oh dear

Oh shut the fuck up,will ya?

I heard TV Shit when I bought it upon its original release.
This is why I returned it the next day.
I'm a huge fan and everything, but I know when something is less than essential.

Actually, I would like to see the Evol Tour Film released before any re-issues.

To be honest, even though I love the wierd releases, this ep is pretty boring. 11 minutes of "NOOOOO NOOO NOOOO NOOOOO" and some country song = not listened to much. I got it off ebay with two other singles, so I don't mind. (3$ for three singles = satisfied me).
