MATLAF Reissue???

PanicLord · 14 Apr 2017, 04:48

Hi all

As you probably know there have recently been reissues of Dead Ringer, Bad Attitude, and Blind Before I Stop. Does anyone know if anything similar is planned for Midnight At The Lost And Found? I really like that album and have only ever had it as part of a 2 pack with Dead Ringer so I'd really like to have it in its own right.

Thank you.

Given Meat's stated distaste for the album (at pretty much any point other than the promotional period immediately following it), it's a safe bet that if there is a reissue, it won't come from any official body or anything to do with Meat. It'll probably be more like Cherry Red reissuing Bad Attitude or Wounded Bird taking on BBIS -- a budget label licensing the tracks, making them sound slightly better, and putting it out in not particularly deluxe packaging.

It was already re-released with the live cd and dvd.
No chance of that happening again I reckon in this day of lack of physical sales.

Eventhough it had one of the most successful number one hits in history that album has always somehow failed to reach the longevity that Bat 1 has endured.
There never even has been a proper vinyl re-release after all these years.

Midnight was due a re release later this year, not sure if its still happening?

Surely they wouldn't only release it on vinyl? I would imagine the market for a vinyl copy of matlaf is ultra niche!
