That's a shame.
Don't have to wait...I ordered all 3 tonight from amazon.co.uk. I think the total price was around 48 bucks. Also, Shields said in an interview tonight on some BBC radio show that 8 of 9 songs that will be the new album are complete. Shootin' for a release by the end of July (2012).

Totally know what you mean, but I kind of have faith this time around. There is another source that know's Kevin whom leaked the reunion and the remasters release and was totally correct about both. He had already discussed the "new" album shit before it was officially announced earlier. So as a long time MBV fanatic, ima trust him on this too. fingers crossed.
The discs are not labelled correctly. CD 1 is actually the "analogue" version, and CD 2 is the Digital remaster.
There's also an audible transfer glitch at 2:46 on the Analogue version of "What You Want"
Somehow I didn't notice this, but it was there on the version that leaked online in 2008. So Kevin Shields had 4 years to fix the glitch, and could have at least checked the discs were labelled right before everything was pressed up.
It's a damn shame, as it does sound superb.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.

If I was a cynical man, I'd like to think that Messrs. Shields did that on purpose to flummox and fluster all the "golden ear'd" among us.
On a side note - what does everyone think of Touched? I've tried listening to it many times over and over again but it still shits me. Maybe I'm hearing something different to other people but it annoys me..

It's just that weird minute-long bit between "Loomer" and "To Here Knows When"
I finally gt round to listening to the EPs compilation from start to finish today. Once again, I am reminded that the 90-second coda on the end of "Honey Power" from the "Tremolo" EP is just lovely:
Really could have done without the 10-minute version of "Glider" though.

The whole of You Made Me Realise EP is so much beefier I reckon, but I still like listening to the old one better as I feel it suits the sort of jangly pop sound
If you listen closely to the remaster of Only Shallow, the album's opening track, you can hear the precise moment when the four male cats having sex inside the Fender Twin Reverb amp reach their terrible, wailing climax.
Those familiar with the album will be shocked to hear newly-audible bass guitar tracks, discrediting the longstanding theory that "Debbie Googe" is a silly name Kevin Shields made up.
NASA audio experts are unable to identify precisely what's been changed about the third track, Colm O'Ciosoig's oddball instrumental "Touched," because by popular demand most modern CD players include special firmware that automatically skips it.
The audio isn't the only thing that's been improved: on the newly-enhanced album cover, it's now possible to make out that the iconic pink-tinted Jazzmaster guitar is being played with a muffin.

On the second disc, mastered from the original half-inch analogue tapes, we can hear for the first time that the record's intricate feedback layers and inimitable swirls of tremolo-gliding guitar were digital mastering errors and My Bloody Valentine was actually a workmanlike third-wave ska band.
