Machina + Machina II boxset is coming this year, but is going to be sold exclusively at Billy’s tea shop in Illinois. The general reissue of Machina should be much more accessible and comes out on August 22nd. 🙌

Official reissue coming this August. You (maybe) heard it here first. 👍

Fantastic sounding boot. Highly recommended. The jacket art sucks but I don't care really about that. I listen to it.

People are only down on this because it’s a boot and are not being honest with themselves, especially about the sound quality, it’s literally sourced from the original vinyl pressing and sounds incredible. Sound wise, it’s comparable to the original pressing. I do agree that the sleeve is a bit shitty, but for $59.99 I’ll deal with a blurry cover if I get a Machina that sounds this good. So if people are crying on here it’s because…

Went to an intimate Billy Corgan solo gig in Brisbane Australia yesterday and he said during the Q&A part that the ‘Machina vinyl box set’ has been ready to go for ages and he doesn’t know why it’s not being released.

Couldn’t wait for a re-issue. Got a sweet yellow vinyl bootleg which sounds amazing for $50.

Took the plunge and bought the vinyl only to discover that contrary to other reviews, there is no significant difference in sound quality, I repeat no significant difference in sound quality between this vinyl version and my old €10 CD. And why should there be if both were recorded ftom the same source in a period where priority was given to CD !

Why the hell is it blue? Got this for Christmas...doesn't have as much clarity as I'd love, and I hate the blurry cover art, but it's perfectly listenable and enjoyable. If you have issues with the mix, note also that this album was produced to intentionally be bad and annoying to listen to: it is sort of supposed to sound that crunchy and dense anyway.

Not the greatest bootleg I’ve bought recently. Obviously I wasn’t expecting it to blow my mind and it didn’t. I think my overall issue is with just how compressed the sound is on this. I bought this just to complete my SP collection but I’ll be replacing this once an official release is out
