If there's ever been a chance for 5 Points to be released, this is it.

My local record store posted to their Instagram account that they have the Beaucoup Fish reissue vinyl in stock.

Strange that this seems to be surfacing at a different time to the deluxe CD box that's definitely going to happen, right?

Amazon has it in stock too:

Weirdly, it only seems to be available in the US. The UK did not release it, though the US release is available there as an import.

Reissue instead of remaster?

[TheBang]

No, pretty sure this is the remaster.

I picked up the Beaucoup Fish vinyl today from the local record shop. I'll post some pictures. I never owned the original vinyl, so maybe it looks a little different. Unfortunately, no download code came with it.

Seems odd that there'd be NO announcement for it. A reissue going unannounced I could see, but a remaster? US and Vinyl only also seems odd. Looking forward to further info.

So, here's the deal. I spoke to management, and the BF remaster is coming, it's just not quite ready yet. The main album remaster was completed last year (as seen on Miles Showell's twitter) though, so I think either they haven't finished the box set material yet, or it doesn't fit in their release schedule yet (IMO, more likely, given the previous aborted solicitation dates in this thread).

Someone at Universal screwed up and the remastered vinyl is in the distribution and retail channels in the US, and it's not supposed to be. Management is pretty sure it's the correct remastered audio (and not somehow pressed with the original audio), but will check to make sure.
