This is from the latest Epitaph newsletter:

"The new album is nearing completion and all of the classic, re-mastered Bad Religion albums are due out soon; April 6th to be precise! Next week I will have new MP3s up for ALL of these re-issues, so you can get a sample of just how good they sound! For now, checkout all of the release information we have up for these albums."

The Epitaph newsletter dude also says "Yes, I will also have those BR studio photos up that I promised VERY SOON, so stay tuned!"

Thanks to Trung Vu for this news.

Brett Religion The Same Person Location: Buenos Aires Status: Offline Posts: 1746	Quote Well Kris, as a matter of fact there are some mp3's of the old albums on epitaph.com Anyway, fuck only pictures of the band in studio. The Webmonkey also promised us some video clips! I hate to say this but Bad Religion should learn from Metallica in terms of maintaining their official website with updates and stuff from their work in studio. Their official site is the dream of any die-hard fan of any band. Yeah, I know that Metallica is almost an entreprise at this stage but oh well... 03/05/2004 at 04:56 Well Kris, as a matter of fact there are some mp3's of the old albums on epitaph.com Anyway, fuck only pictures of the band in studio.

Mp3's don't degrade very much, and even the degrading they do, you will still hear a considerable difference, especially in the early albums. We could put mp3's here if we want, but since it's illegal, we don't. check www.bad-religion.net for rare mp3's 03/03/2004 at 09:56 About mp3's: If you don't hear the difference in quality between How could hell be any worse and Process of belief as mp3, then there is something wrong with your ears.

Kris Guest Location: United States	Quote Will's proposition gave me an idea: If Epitaph DOESN'T release sound clips of both the new and old versions of the albums, I will give Kristoffer, the webmaster, mp3s of the old versions to put on this page, so that we're all able to make the decision for ourselves. 03/03/2004 at 05:14 Will's proposition gave me an idea: If Epitaph DOESN'T release sound clips of both the new and old versions of the albums, I will give Kristoffer, the webmaster, mp3s of the old versions to put on this page, so that we're all able to make the decision for ourselves.
Will Guest Location: United States	Quote I disagree about what a previous poster said. If you use a really good MP3 program [WinLAME, which is freely available although unfortunately illegal due to MP3 patents] you can get practically indistinguishable to CD MP3 files at 192 kbps. However I hope this doesn't become a debate about MP3. But I hope Epitaph releases a two short uncompressed sound clips from the same song, old and new versions, so we can hear for ourselves before we repurchase the albums. Does anyone know if these CDs are going to be HDCDs like some NOFX Epitaph releases [well I only know that my copy of So Long...was an HDCD]. That would make this release a lot more desireable. 03/03/2004 at 04:28 I disagree about what a previous poster said.

Robert Guest Location: United States	Quote HAHA, thats great... this is what i sent him: im not trying to be pushy or anything, but as a die hard Bad Religion fan im wondering where these pictures and video footage of the studio are that we were told were going to be put up like 4 newsletters ago... just a question... -Robert and his reply: I have the pictures almost ready to go - like 30 of them Matt Heinemeyer Epitaph Web Monkey so it appears our bugging has worked and we will get it next week! we better at least... haha keep it up and maybe he will get us all early copies of The Empire Strikes First 03/03/2004 at 03:10 HAHA, thats great... this is what i sent him: im not trying to be pushy or anything, but as a die hard Bad Religion fan im wondering where these pictures and video footage of the studio are that we were told were going to be put up like 4 newsletters ago... just a question... -Robert and his reply: I have the pictures almost ready to go - like 30 of them Matt Heinemeyer Epitaph Web Monkey so it appears our bugging has worked and we will get it next week! we better at least... haha keep it up and maybe he will get us all early copies of The Empire Strikes First
Brett Religion The Same Person Location: Buenos Aires Status: Offline Posts: 1746	Quote Anyway, there's no point in uploading mp3's of their re-issues because we won't really be able to tell the difference as far as quality is concerned (and thus appreciate the new remastering and mixing touches) considering that the mp3 is a compressing format that degrades sound quality... This having been said by Greg Graffin himself... So to me all this sounds like a some padding to kill time... Webmonkey! Go upload at least one mp3 of the new album! And what about a video of the band in studio? He had also promised us some video clips, not only lousy photos! Am I complaining too much? 03/03/2004 at 03:06 Anyway, there's no point in uploading mp3's of their re-issues because we won't really be able to tell the difference as far as quality is concerned (and thus appreciate the new remastering and mixing touches) considering that the mp3 is a compressing format that degrades sound quality...

Brett Religion The Same Person Location: Buenos Aires Status: Offline Posts: 1746	Quote Well, I'm glad that my e-mail to the Webmonkey at Epitaph last Friday proved to wake him up Pang of remorse in the corner of your mind? Hey Matt! How are you doing? That's right. Don't you feel a pang of remorse somewhere in the corner of your mind? You promised us die-hard fans of Bad Religion that you would be posting pics and video clips of the band's work in studio... It's been almost a month since that announcement on the Epitaph occassional newsletter... Not that I learned about it there because I hardly ever receive your newsletter no matter how many times I've signed up in the last months... Anyways, I understand you must be very busy with other things and stuff but please give us something to get hold of until we are "struck" by the new album on June the 8th! Best wishes, Dogbert P.S.: Say hi to Mr. Brett and give him my props for the Error E.P. 03/03/2004 at 02:53 Well, I'm glad that my e-mail to the Webmonkey at Epitaph last Friday proved to wake him up Pang of remorse in the corner of your mind?
