Things are getting pretty serious
It looks like Billy's getting quite serious about this Zwan reissue.
In all seriousness, if people hadn't heard, he said the mixes were done and should definitely be out by the end of the year unless something happens with physical production. I believe he said the album is remastered and approximately 17 to 18 extra songs will be included.

I’m going to be really pissed if it’s only available on vinyl and not on CD or digital. I’m still waiting for the Machina box set to come out. I have the vinyl box set but you can’t take that on the go.

He'll pull a Machina box set on this one as well, meaning vinyl-only for physical and streaming after all the vinyl has been milked out. So probably no CD. He didn't even mention it, as if it never existed in the first place.

Yeah, it's like Silly and Not So Bright: No streaming. No CD. No download.

I know some people like physical media, but the Machina reissue is more suited to streaming. As it can be played in one listen, without changing sides or discs inbetween.

Im very pleased he’s only doing a 4 lp box with bonus tracks. any mention of cds or will this only be on vinyl?

He did not mention CDs that I can remember. I would imagine it will be like the other releases; on vinyl first for a while and then CDs later. But I'm with you I want CDs too...

It was 7 years between the announcement of the Machina reissue and it's release. Don't be naive to think it'll come out quickly.

It's being mastered at this moment. Billy has been talking about it for months. It is the next project to be physically put out. Please do not assume you know anything about me and my knowledge, and I'll do the same. Thanks.

I'm just advising you not to get ahead and expect releases so quickly. This is Billy Corgan we're talking about. There's no sign of Machina reissue on digital yet.

I’m not buying any “chicken” named Zwan with a swan logo. That’s a little too close in the poultry arena.
