"the mangled demos" is finally being re-issued by ipecac on may 30th! this was never officially released, but was available as a bootleg cd. it's classic melvins from 1983 and it's great. |

nah, unfortunately i can't afford to go to any concerts this month. i'm pretty bummed about it, but there's nothing i can really do. not really a big deal though - i've seen them play so many times... |

i'm assuming this ipecac re-issue will be remastered. i don't know what extra tracks will be on it, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was the same as the bootleg. |

Melvins to Issue Early Demos Disc Aaron Mandel reports: The Melvins have spent most of their 20-year lifespan as a historical footnote in many people's minds, due to the debt owed them by most of the original grunge bands in the Pacific Northwest, including Nirvana-- Kurt Cobain and Melvins singer King Buzzo knew each other as kids in Aberdeen. But as Buzz Osborne occasionally points out in interviews, the Melvins are still around, and those other bands mostly aren't. What's more, the Melvins existed long before their big-name proteges, recording their first songs around 1983. Segue: those primeval tracks are about to see their first official release as Mangled Demos, due out June 14 via Ipecac Records. The demos involved seriously predate the band's first EP (that would be 1986) and reportedly sit halfway between early 80s hardcore and the Melvins' familiar slow, swampy sound. We tried just running a recent Melvins record at double speed to get an idea of what that would sound like, but it gave one of the interns some kind of seizure, so we grudgingly turned it off. The new CD features several songs whose titles got lost somewhere in the last 22 years; rather than making up new ones, the Melvins appear to have assigned them little graphical doodles, which makes the following tracklist a bit of a bitch to reprint. Meanwhile, some songs are included twice, and others run together, producing a total of 18 tracks that, in some abstract sense, look like this: 01 Elks Lodge Christmas Broadcast 02 If You Get Bored - live radio 03 Forgotten Principles 04 Snake Appeal 05 [flower] 06 If You Get Bored 07 Set Me Straight 08 [communist star] 09 I'm Dry 10 Forgotten Principles 11 I Don't Know 12 Matt-Alec 13 The REAL You 14 Run Around 15 Keep Away From Me 16 [clover] 17 Bibulous Confabulation (during rehearsal) 18 [iron cross] 19 [pencil] 20 Matt-Alec 21 "Walter" 22 [broken scissors] 23 [airplane] The association between the Melvins and Ipecac Records owner Mike Patton goes back |

The association between the Melvins and Ipecac Records owner Mike Patton goes back farther than this record; Ipecac has put out six other Melvins records since 1999, starting with The Maggot, The Bootlicker, and The Crybaby, a trilogy all recorded together, and two band members have recently played in outside projects with Patton-- new bassist Kevin Rutmanis in Tomahawk, and Buzz Osbourne in Fantomas, who are touring through the end of April. |

woo! melvins rock, i'll be getting this |
||||||||
|

oh, you like the melvins? awesome! they're my favorite band. i just listened to my mp3 bootleg of the original MD a few days ago - it's really great. i can't wait for this one! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totally! i'm no hard core melvins fan, but they are great and i enjoy their tunes |
||||||||

Out of all the bands, I always preferred TAD out of the whole Seattle thing. Melvis would be a close second- Gluey Porch Treatments is perhaps the best all-time album title. |

the first official clip from this cd is available now: unfortunately, it cuts off at the best part of the song. i can't believe how clear the sound of it is! it's really, really surprising. the original sounds completely different - it's hard to believe they didn't re-record the thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sounds awesome..also i always thought melvins was formed in 1987..i guess i was wrong :) |

i'm really shocked by the difference in sound between the bootleg and the new re-issue. it sounds like a totally different recording. the other re-issues were "remastered" but sounded only slightly different. this is worlds apart from what i'm used to hearing. i can't wait to get this! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i downloaded the bootleg after you made this topic, but the sound on that one was so weak i only gave it one quick listen :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was it the lousy mp3s? there are some different quality versions circulating. if you're not really into the melvins, you probably wouldn't like the low-quality stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, that mp3 you linked to sounds totally different so i suppose those i downloaded must be in really poor quality.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, as i said, the original bootleg (that the mp3's were made from) was bad quality to begin with. that's why i'm so excited about this re-issue. it sounds so much better. |
