[phm.nin.com] It has three live songs from 1990 (excellent quality, best I've seen that old, ever). The weird thing is the intro. It has various samples in it of speech, "give me the gun" is one, and a really nice drum beat. Why have I never heard this before and does anyone know how much this has been played? Edited 1 time(s).

No news about Australia or Singapore. And it also seems like the digital version is only available in the US for now, as far as iTunes is concerned BUT the disc doesn't start shipping until the 30th in Canada so maybe, just maybe it will be available on iTunes Canada on that same date too? One can hope. I don't know more, I'm afraid. If I learn anything else, I'll let you know.

Alas, it's still not up on iTunes Canada. Still no word about physical copies in Australia or Singapore. I've asked on another board and I'll let you all know if I hear anything.

Not in the slightest - it was NOT remastered, there is literally no difference unless you take really, REALLY bad care of your music.

neon2go member Joined: 12/25/10 Posts: 1	Hey people, please don't yell at me or throw stuff because of my stupid question, but: If I buy the reissued PHM (digital release) now, Trent Reznor gets all the money (minus taxes as they apply and the percentage the stores take), right? A simple "yes" or "no" will do, I really just don't know any better and would hate to send more money to people I lovingly refer to as corporate bastards than I really have to. Thanks for the answer!

seasonsinthesky member deluxe audio nerd Joined: 11/27/07 Location: the wide open killingfiel Posts: 778	pretty sure a decent amount of it also goes to Bicycle Music, who own the rights to the PHM recordings. tbh, i'd rather send them the money than Interscope, TVT or Rykodisc, so i don't think you can go wrong by purchasing any version of the remastered PHM.

Ceejay008 member a million miles away Joined: 08/29/08 Location: Hartberg - Austria Posts: 31	I mean that's just crazy. I have searched a lot, and I found out that the PHM2010 Release is really expensive here in Germany/Austria. The cheapest I've found was 18€, not including shipping. Everything else was over 20€. When I search in the US-Interwebz I find PHM for 8$, really cheap. Why can't it be that cheap, or at least cheaper than 20€, in Europe?

Sheepdean member Thug aim Joined: 11/27/07 Location: London Posts: 2,144	Because record companies are, at the end of the day, dicks. I got it from amazon.com (US site), even with shipping it came out cheaper

Sheepdean member Thug aim Joined: 11/27/07 Location: London Posts: 2,144	This belongs in the Pretty Hate Machine forum. What happens is that the original songs are gone back to and mastered in a different, and more modern way. Usually this guarantees louder and a little more bass, but it varies for every kind of remaster. The audio geeks in the forum can probably give a very detailed explanation if you're uber interested

SalavanteK member Get out! Joined: 03/13/11 Posts: 662	Would the original CD art for Pretty Hate Machine be the black and silver CD? I asked because I've come across pink and blue CDs of Pretty Hate Machine, but they all turned out to be imports. And are there any pink and blue PHM CDs from the US? Edited 1 time(s).

BenAkenobi member 999998 Joined: 04/13/08 Location: Chekhov Posts: 2,080	SalavanteK, TVT Records chose black 'cause it was cheaper to print, same goes for both singles printed in monochrome. They were not sure of nin selling potential and didn't invest in coloured CDs. Blue/pink PHM CD from USA is this
