The With Sympathy re-issue lives again..

the vinyl sounded great. pick it up if you like the album. wouldn’t mind tracking down other early Ministry vinyl if I come across it.

not all of it, but i think there are some actually SOLID songs on there.

i was playing in a sorta ‘New Orleans funeral’ style band, and i kept recommending a cover of ‘Revenge’ but we never got around to it. :confused: solid regret.

by sounding good, I meant the quality of the audio. I’m a vinyl fan. the songs? eh, side 1 is much stronger than side 2 IMO.

i knew what you meant. haha.

I hope the re-issue does happen… I would love to have properly mastered CD versions of the remixes/Walk In The Park!

The only thing that could top this are CD versions of all the pre-Twitch singles and a modern day Ministry version of With Sympathy/Twitch (much like the Undercover version of Halloween)

Storming The Base just put up their pre-order of it.
http://www.stormingthebase.com/ministry-with-sympathy-bonus-tracks-cd

the bonus is kinda weak (well its the same as the previous attempt to reissue)

for one, they put there 2 b-sides but not the extended version of IWTTH (a-side) form the 12’’, which was like not only remix but partially a re-recording?

second, they put up work for love dub (who knows which version, 'cause there were a few), come on… if they go that route to put b-sides and remixes, why not extended version of WFL as well?

ministry should release ultimate WS version: original album, dvd of minneapolis '83 live show + revenge video (maybe same old madness too), bonus cd with all the remixes + b-sides from the album singles and 2nd bonus cd with other studio songs from that era, considering if such recodrings even exist (never asked for nothing / soso life / love change / etc etc we all heard them on bootlegs).

ultimate 4-disc attack of synthpop ministry !! full of “faggy” pix of al & stevo to boot !! XDDD

probably woulda made more money than fukkin relapse album too

Yes!

I never cared for With Sympathy, but I might buy that for the faggy pics of Al. Faggy Al is better than facial mod Al.

Hey! Those two weren’t the only foppish dandies in the band you know.

of course…

but in all the WS-era releases there are photos of either Al alone or Al+Stevo :frowning:

i think only “official” release i saw all the band was Same Old Madness cuz even in Revenge vid theres only Al+Stevo

For only $100 I can get “Relapse” with a collectors’ poker chip.

chip? as in singular?

Well, not surprisingly, Amazon UK does not have the WS reissue in stock for today’s release date. The U.S. date is 6/26. Let the speculation begin :stuck_out_tongue:

Eh, it’s going to fall through the cracks again, more than likely. Personally, the original master sounds fine. I would be more excited if the 12" bonus tracks were more complete.

Pencil in 20th August for another let down.

Eastworld/Plastichead have been releasing Killing Joke in the UK for a good few years now, they seem reputable enough, i’d be more surprised if this doesn’t happen.

In stock at amazon.co.uk, mine was posted out today [:)]

^Sweet! Make sure to fill us in when it shows up :slight_smile:

It’s arrived!!!

Now the art work to be honest looks a bit cheep, is looks like someone has scaned the original album art and ramped up the colour there is also some typo’s on the back nothing major, What he say is down as being 14 mins long. The inner sleeve booklet is the same as the original on the inside no extra note’s. The sound is i think better, sharper and brighter with more seperation and detail.

I have to say the only reason i got this was the get the bonus tracks on cd i think is worth the cost just for them.
All in all i’m happy with or £7[:)]
