Looks like this releases next month. Pre-order is up on my local record shop.

Ordered thru 10C. Didn’t think about Amazon for some reason.

This version of Mirrorball was a massive disappointment. The remixes suck. Neil completely destroyed BGC.

I’ll only spin my OP when I want Mirrorball.

Have mercy

They could have had me with a colored Merkinball 45, the suckers.

Are there remixes? I thought this was just a reissue of the original album. Anyway I’m mostly interested in the hopefully soon to be released live performances.

Yeah, the description doesn’t even read like it’s an updated mix/master. In fact the description seems completely unenthused to even be announcing the release. Like someone had to stop scrolling TikTok to write that and were clearly annoyed.

‘in the spirit of Pearl Jam’s least-effort late album writing process, comes the least-effort reissue that you’ve all been waiting for’

Technically, it’s a Neil Young reissue.

Would be shocked if Mirror Ball sounded that bad. The NYA releases are among the best sounding records I own. Was just listening to Freedom yesterday and it was like hearing the record for the first time.

I have the original pressing and sounds awesome so i dont think the album needs anything to be honest

Neil Young fans are hard core particularly for extra releases, live stuff, anniversaries etc. The album could be the exact same including the artwork and a lot of people would buy it.

Nah this sounds great. It is noted to be remastered but I just love the sound of this record. I never had the OP but this sounds great.

I'm just disappointed more wasn't released especially with talk of all this live stuff. I wonder what happened

It sounds like there's going to be live Mirrorball material in Archives Vol. IV.
