From the NME :

SWEET RELEASE FOR RYAN

RYAN ADAMS will release his aborted album 'LOVE IS HELL' as two EPs, with the first instalment emerging on November 3 - the same day as his new album 'ROCK 'N' ROLL'.

'Love Is Hell Vol. 1' will be followed by the second volume on December 8 and each EP will contain between six and eight songs, according to Rolling Stone.

The release of the two EPs will finally settle a long-running dispute between Adams and his record company Lost Highway.

As previously reported on NME.COM in May, Adams wrote on his website: "Love Is Hell' is finished. We don't know what to do with it... or should I say 'they' don't know what to do with it. I've heard adjectives like 'incredibly too depressing' and - this one's funny - 'dark.' Also not your best stuff.''

As well as Adams's '80's rock album' - 'Rock 'N' Roll' - the singer is to put out a box-set, featuring two previously unreleased albums with his side project The Pinkhearts - '48 Hours' and 'The Suicide Handbook' - as well as sessions Adams recorded with producers Scott Litt and Michael Blair. The set is due to be released before the end of the year.

Review of Ryan Adams', er, 80s rock album, "Rock N Roll", here.

Play have it listed for £7-99

They're carrying both parts of "Love is Hell" as well.



Lord, please make the spending stop

The Gold SACD is already available, at least in the US. Good price at DVDPacific.com. Dual layer (stereo/multi-channel), but not hybrid. My copy arrived yesterday but I have not had a chance to check it out yet.
