Cruise Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Rang a JB-HI-FI this morning and they had one copy left. They held it for me and I just went and picked it up Sadly nowhere has vinyls, not really surprised though. They still have it on their website so they may still have some (or may be too lazy to remove it yet). I am betting that they are just being lazy but its worth a shot if people really want it. Links for anyone who still wants to by Demolicious and missed the links before and doesn't mind paying Australian prices plus shipping.

I know but its still better then nothing if people really want it. I wonder if it wasn't exclusive to record stores anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_fell_for_nimrod Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi I've asked a few people this already, but so far, unsuccessful, my boyfriend managed to get me two Demolicious vinyls from RSD, as he knew there was two colours, they are both clear. As I do collect GD vinyls, I'm hoping someone out there maybe with a spare red or a red I'm general can swap with me, I'm from England and I'm willing to swap anywhere and will mark it as a gift to avoid import fees. If anyone is interested it'll be much appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPbilliejr Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Very happy to pick up the only Vinyl I could find, and luckily it was a Red one. The CD is also very cool, and still not easy to find in record stores. Sounds awesome.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basKT_case90 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 It's special order though so it's possible that they may not even have any copies left. For anyone that's interested, when I go to work later this week, I can check the company wide stock. Let me know which stores in particular you want me to check.

Todd Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Todd has the CD and he told me that it's just the art. Uh, no, I told you I'm not opening my CD, because the inside art is lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 For anyone that's interested, when I go to work later this week, I can check the company wide stock. Let me know which stores in particular you want me to check. Could you check out Tuggerah, Erina, Charlestown and Glendale? Not sure how easy it is to check (never worked in retail) if its too much just do Tuggerah and Charlestown. Thanks. I currently have a bid on ebay so if I don't get that I will go to pick a copy up. I really want red though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise calling up the store is the next quickest option. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura! Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I ended up getting it on record store day. I was surprised because I wasn't expecting my local record store to have it. But they ended up having like... 10 vinyls and CDs. Sadly I did not see any cassettes. My favorites are 99 Revolutions, Little Boy Named Train, Carpe Diem and Angel Blue. I'm not a big fan of State of Shock. Maybe it'll grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Review by Green Baron USER (81 Reviews)April 19th, 2014 | 18 replies | 1,288 views Review Summary: What happens when you take Green Day's loathed trilogy, remove the overproduction, add a few doses of energy and punk rock spirit and condense it into a nineteen track experience? Demolicious. 14 of 14 thought this review was well written Green Day have pretty much become a musical laughingstock over the last few years. From Billie Joe Armstrong’s drunken breakdown at the iHeartRadio music festival to whatever the hell “Nightlife” was supposed to be, the 2010s have not been a good decade for one of the most prominent bands to come out of the 90s punk scene. The release of the ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! trilogy not only lost them a number of fans, but also provided their detractors with more material to use against them. Even I, a once loyal fanboy so devoted I named the first portion of my username after what used to be my favorite band, couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed with the subpar quality of the three albums. Sure, ¡Dos! wasn’t as bad as its 2.2 Sputnik average suggests, and ¡Tre! saw the band make their best album in eight years, but the trilogy as a whole had Green Day at their lowest point in terms of their lyrics and songwriting. Nevertheless, when Mike Dirnt posted a picture of Demolicious’ cover on Instagram with the caption “this is how ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! would have sounded if we were still on Lookout Records”, the inner fanboy in me couldn’t help but scream for joy. After all, Green Day were giving us demos of about half of the trilogy’s material, plus an unreleased song. Even though there may have been better things to buy on Record Store Day, Demolicious was the album that I anticipated the most. Would the original recordings of the much-maligned trilogy offer a glimpse of hope that the Green Day I once loved could still churn out good music? Rob Cavallo’s production on the albums is something that plagued ¡Uno! (and to a lesser extent, ¡Dos! and ¡Tre!), earning it the respectable position as Green Day’s worst album yet. Every riff was overpolished, vocal effects were added to Billie Joe’s voice, and the instrumentals were given a treble-laden sheen that translated into sharp wailing. His work on Insomniac made the album darker and grittier – eighteen years later, it has to be reversed in order to achieve the same effect. Tracks like “Oh Love” and “Rusty James” benefit the most from this because the overproduction caused them to sound more poppier than they should have. The former, which I completely despised on ¡Uno!, is made into a decent song by actually letting Mike Dirnt’s bassline show and eliminating the grating enhancers put on Billie’s vocals. Even “Let Yourself Go”, one of the trilogy’s clear standouts, is better in demo form – it’s got a more old-school punk vibe á la The Clash or the Ramones, plus the harmonies between Billie and Mike are more prevalent (even the stupid “fuck fuckin’ with my head line” gets cut out). Demolicious’ greatest strength is that it’s more easy to listen to than the trilogy – the demos actually give a more pleasuring listening experience than the final recordings. It even gives the ¡Dos! tracks the garage rock feel that Billie intended it to have in the first place. At the same time, Demolicious is essentially nothing but the español albums without production added onto it. Everything else is still intact, right down to the cringeworthy lyrics. Why Billie ever thought that singing “drinking angel’s piss” or rhyming “sex, drugs and violence” with “English, math and science” was acceptable is beyond me, and when a forty-year old man admits that “[he] pissed the bed” while playing spin-the-bottle and truth or dare, it’s a cause for concern. Even though Green Day were never known for deep, thoughtful lyrics until they tried to shed their lyrical past with American Idiot (this is the same band that scored a number-one hit with a song about masturbation and smoking pot), the atrocities penned down during Billie’s alcohol binging period were some of the most embarrassing lyrics written by a pop-punk band. Even the barebones sound can’t save “Fell for You” from feeling incredibly saccharine. Meanwhile, the fact that these songs are actually demos is hard to understand when it comes to the original versions of “99 Revolutions” and “A Little Boy Named Train”, which both sound nearly identical to the final edition that ended up on ¡Tre!. The only new material to be found on Demolicious are the acoustic version of “Stay the Night” and the previous unreleased track “State of Shock”. Both are a complete waste of track space, and it’s not that difficult to understand why they didn’t make it onto the threesome. The former lacks the energy and emotion that is needed to make a good acoustic ballad – Billie’s vocal performance on the original (and the demo) is what made the track stand out amongst all the mediocre filth, and all of it seemingly gets sucked away. “State of Shock”, meanwhile, sounds like a rehash of the angrier songs on ¡Uno! with similar chord progression (think “Loss of Control” or “Angel Blue”), yet it’s repetitive and one of the blandest things the band has ever done. For all the exciting, new takes on tracks that were pretty much given the axe by a large amount of people, there’s a dud or two that makes you wonder if the band could have given us the demo to a better song. Even if the last few years haven’t boded to well for Green Day, Demolicious is a welcome surprise that is more or less what these three albums should have been. For those who utterly despised everything about the trilogy, this compilation of demos could be a new interpretation that could quite possibly change your mind about them. It’s shorter, removes all the overproduction, adds some needed doses of energy and contains some of the better tracks to come out of Un, Deux and Trois – there’s no “Nightlife” or “Drama Queen” demo to be seen here. Instead of sifting through a catalog of thirty-seven tracks, Demolicious is the trilogy in one album, wrapped up in a nice pretty pink bow on top. It might not be a game-changer or the record that has fans proudly crying “Green Day is back!”, but it’s a nice little treat that shows just how good the maligned trilogy could have been. http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/61930/Green-Day-Demolicious/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any of the Record Store Day releases are actually from Adeline Records, are they? I think they mean it in a general 'support the record stores' type of way.

Billie Joe is one of the owners of Adeline, and the label handles most (if not all) of Green Day's vinyl releases, if I am not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie being co owner of Adeline (which is run in LA now anyway and I don't think he actually owns it anymore, so to speak) has nothing to do with it. Adeline might have put out a few vinyls in the past but that doesn't mean they'd know anything about this one at this stage if it wasn't anything to do with them and I don't think it is. I'm pretty sure Demolicious is through Warners anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
