SYR7 release date
 

According to allmusic.com, it's the "J'Accuse Ted Hughes" performance, and it comes out on April 22, 2008. Still listed as vinyl only.

yay, that's my birthday.

however, since allmusic still has the "live at albert hall" (2003) and "syr 6: sonic youth/brigitte fontaine/areski" (2002) releases listed in their discogrpahy they're not exactly the most reliable source.

J'Accuse Ted Hughes - it was noisy ?

Hahha. I noticed both of those again as I started this thread. Thanks for providing needles for our balloons, yo.

I'm still totally disapointed with the vinyl release only. Actually this disc, that was the thing I was waiting for the most a year ago, has become something I'm indifferent too, I didn't even feel excitation or joy seeing the title of this thread. That's bad they did that to such a great tune

I think it might be out even earlier. Someone should start a petition to release it on CD too.

I hate to perpetuate a tug-o-war that we already went thru in another thread... but I too would really prefer this on CD. I mean, I'll get it either way. But I'd much rather have the CD.

they should do a shellac-like release.

OK, who starts a petition thread?

Sadly I don't think that's going to change anything, even more now that the release date is so near... :(

well, in a few years it will be reissued, just like happened with master dik ha ha

Nevermind yr poxy CDs, where's the petition to release SYR6 on vinyl?:)

Just hit my email:

"Also coming this Spring is
SYR7: J'Accuse Ted Hughes. ”J’Accuse Ted Hughes” is a live recording
from 2000’s ATP Festival paired with a previously unreleased studio
session entitled “Agnes B Musique.” This release is a 12” vinyl record
only."

Nefeli beat me

you are fast. :)

Hey dude. I know it's great to have your collection of vinyl of stuff, I can totally understand that. But the fact is that, even if it's CD only, at least you have the possibility to HEAR the music, you know? Like, even you don't have a HI-FI player, at least you can play it on your computer or whatever: everyone can play CDs.

Now, with releasing SYR7 as vinyl-only, a certain part of the fans - including myself - will not even be able to HEAR the thing we have waited so much for.

See how much I was waiting for this to come: http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/sho...7accuse+Hughes

vinyl ripping is the new thing. ja ha hahaha.

Oh come on, it'll only be a matter of minutes before some kind soul rips & uploads it somewhere. And if you feel dirty doing that, you can always salve your conscience by buying the LP and having a nice aesthetic object to look at ;)

And, as it happens, my soundcard's fucked so I can't play anything through my computer, and aside from a Sega Dreamcast, I don't own a CD or DVD player either. Admittedly I have got a CD player on extended load from a friend, but it's not even hooked up at the moment..

Totally agree...
