Since this thread has nothing to do with CDs, feel free to make fun of Kevin Davis all you want.
A German music distribution site has all three of these up for pre-order with a June 30th release date listed. At first I was a bit skeptical because I know there are lots of bootlegs of Binaural and Avocado floating around in Europe, but the listing of Riot Act is intriguing.

Sorry, why is the Riot Act listing intriguing? I'm not seeing a track listing or anything.
Sorry for the confusion; it's just that there's really no widely circulated bootlegs of Riot Act out there. But there are copies of Binaural and Avocado that you can order at a number of places for around $40. So the fact that RA is included makes it seem like it's not just a site trying to flip bootlegs.
Given that new digital masterings were made available of No Code and Yield along with their vinyl reissues, fingers crossed for the same approach here in hope that we finally get a decent sounding version of S/T.

Because they sound like dog shit!
I had a vinyl phase because I got a free Magnavox Console record player. It was a model from the '60's, I think? Maybe '70's. That thing was a piece of giant furniture, but had really good bass. There were some pretty good records inside of it, too. Lots of early Dylan, Stones, Donovan, Beatles, Johnny Cash, Simon & Garfunkel and CSNY. I sold it to an antique shop when we moved. I'd bought Riot Act on vinyl when it first came out and forgot that it was inside the Console when I sold it along with the other records. It was an original pressing, so someone got lucky.
The price of an individual album is upwards of $35 nowadays as well. It's nice to see a resurgence, because it keeps music in stores, but it's not for me. My wife's cd player in her car quit working and she has digital capabilities, so I forfeited my Ipod Classic 160 she got me for my birthday a few years ago, and it's lost. I get to use it in the Summertime, when she's on vacation, but I'm back to burning cd's..

You can still get records for like $18. and there are thousands of different options out there to buy records far under that price.
