Burial - Street Halo/Kindred ep

isn't this out for a month now?

In Japan. I presume this is a europe/US thing?

You will have to excuse me, as I am off work on very strong painkillers, so I could be wrong....

japan only? wtf

Maybe I should of kept quiet, I thought this was a UK release, as the Japs have had this ep for a while. Like I said I'm a bit spaced at the mo.

Mods exterminate thread if it's nonsense.

One-off repressing of the limited CD compiling both of Burial’s ‘Steet Halo’ and ‘Kindred’ EPs, originally produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market. All six tracks in their full length versions, totalling 50 minutes of music not previously available on CD, packaged in full size jewel case with Japanese obi-strip overlay.

 

Please note, there will only be a single production run of this release, the quantity to be determined by advance demand, so preorders are essential.

Very confusing, but it sounds like they are doing one more pressing of the CD version specifically for export from Japan? I guess? I mean Cargo is a UK site. I dunno, what's the point of making something limited SLIGHTLY less limited but still really limited? I wish they'd just press a bazillion of these old-school music industry style.

Still, I wanted the JPN CD of this a lot. Sheesh, probably will preorder?

I like the flow of listening to these 6 songs in order, although admittedly I over listened to Street Halo.

Beat Ink did the Japanese release.

Me too, I also stick the MA remixes in there as well.

Great. I haven't listened to my copy of 'Steet Halo' since I first got due to all that business with side a being completely distorted what not.

I am going to flip if I find out that it's actually supposed to sound like that, since I left it to gather dust due to the fact that I thought it was a bad pressing.

I'm used to spending around £30 for Japanese CDs, so I'm all the fuck over this. Especially as one EP is great and the other is awe-inspiring.

I tried to order the japan release of this for my cuz. Looked like it was gonna cost a butt load and also couldnt manage to find posting to EU

i don't understand why this needed a separate topic. merge it!

Bought, I am gonna be broke this month, but at least I'll have a lot of great music and be seeing some awesome shows. You only live once, worth it.

I want a download (paid) - fuck this physical bullshit.

I burned my own version from the flacs.

Funny that every single online store has this one for preorder, although Cargo website says:

"Please note, there will only be a single production run of this release, the quantity to be determined by advance demand, so preorders are essential."

I ordered one. Not particularly expensive with postage to Australia. Need it in my veins.

Would have been extra nice if they threw on the Massive Attack/Burial tracks which I will never own...

Bleep website:-

"we will be getting a handful of imports of this CD."

Every fuckn' website in the world is getting a "handful of imports of this CD", I would imagine the release is a lot less limited than they are leading us to believe. For the Japanese domestic market, I wonder how many 1000s of copies a normal run of something like this would be?

Preordered from Bleep as $20 seemed reasonable for the two EPs

edit: especially since it will probably get marked up a lot in the secondary market, depending on how limited it actually is

'Limited'

Limited indeed..

Maybe they are only giving each of those distributors 20 copies to sell? 100? I guess there needs to be some standard definition of "limited" (500? 1000? 5000?)

Nah, you're right. Pretty underhanded thing to do if you ask me.

kindred is the most interesting thing hes ever done, like it alot.
