![]() Do you fuckers know the MAX recording time on a reel-to-reel tape? Well, on these particular tapes at least – no? Well, it’s fucking 22 fucking minutes. Good news yes, but there’s something else. ![]() And do you know what the best part is? That turned out to be a good thing! In an interview that I read recently, Matt Pike revealed that Dopesmoker was recorded on reel-to-reel tape – THE fucking medium that translates godly to wax. I caved, and I went for the vinyl version, rather than the CD, even though the journey was broken into three parts. Southern Lord do not fuck about when it comes to vinyl. I was a few website clicks away from purchasing the CD when I happened upon this vinyl version, in all it’s shiny fucking beautiful glory. That just wouldn’t do! Anyway, I never got around to buying it on CD either because I’m lazy like that, and in 2012 Southern Lord snuck this reissue upon us remixed and remastered to absolute fucking audible ecstasy, causing stoners around the world to blaze socially-retarded amounts of da ‘erb in celebration. As collectable as the vinyl pressing of Tee Pee’s release might be, I forever shied away from it due to the fact that the hour-plus trip that is Dopesmoker would be broken up into bits. ![]() So I’ve been holding off buying this fucker for a long time, mainly because I was plagued with the dilemma of getting it on vinyl (the far superior format, of course) or on CD (song plays through in one go rather than in three parts).
