My Mondo copy of Her is pretty heavy on the surface noise. Constant light surface noise. I've wet cleaned the thing twice now, and no improvement. Also kinda warped and a big fat seam split across the top of the jacket. The record is pretty though. ha ha. How does everyone's copies sound? Do you have surface noise as well?

I just received a shipping notice as well.,seems strange they'd print the shipping label and wait 2 months to send it. Probably shipping them early? Fingers crossed.

Thought this was a May release

The Mobley and Blakey are up for preorder on Amazon right now. April 9 release date. Everything seems to be delayed a month. Also, these Classics are really popular. They are all selling out quickly. The Sidewinder is being repressed with a June 30th release date. I'll be buying almost all of them, many to replace the shitty BN75 pressings I have.

It's not retail, TTL is just selling the misprint. They probably have 25 copies, opened one, photographed it, and thought they were all clear.

Where did you see or hear this? Have a link? Thanks!

Sold out in like 5 minutes.

Bought some Slow Crush records from Hello Merch. LPs shipped outside of jackets in a poly lined inner sleeve within a plastic outer sleeve. Happy to see this level of effort!

Yeah, compare the matrix info from the deadwax listed on discogs. I listened to my black reissue of Master of Puppets today, and it was a Bellman mastering pressed at Pallas. Identical to the new red pressing I believe.

They are probably the exact same stamper/plates between the 2016-2018 remasters and these new color represses. Doubt they re-did the whole remaster process a few years later for Wal-Mart color presses.

Hey thanks. I ended up picking the black vinyl version during Target's buy 2 get 1 free sale. Thanks though. Take care.

Any chance you'll part with that extra damaged Kill em All for cheap? It's the only one of their first 4 albums I'm missing. Thanks!

Yeah, article says Furnace presses all thr Metallica albums. And there was a Hetfield interview, which I cannot find, where he talks about owning his own vinyl presses. https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.discogs.com/en/furnace-record-pressing-plant-2/amp/

I want to say that Metallica owns all their music rights now, own their own vinyl presses, and everything is produced at the Furnace Record Plant in,Virginia.

My copy has a bunch of weird crud pressed into it. Little yellow flakes and other debri that form these little pimples/bumps on the vinyl. And it has two nasty edge warps. It plays, but it's a shit pressing. Wondering what plant,it came out of. Also, yeah no padding or cardboard inserts in the mailer. Just the record. I lucked out with only minor creases, but there wasn't a lot of care put into packing these up.

My Whirr records arrived. Haven't spun them yet, but they look very warped unfortunately.

My first pressing sounds like muddy garbage and is moderately warped. Bought the redux hoping for an improvement but,not terribly confident after these posts.

I have now received 3 tracking numbers for my Whirr order. 2 are actively moving. I ordered the bundle. Is the bundle shipping all together in a single mailer?

Needle Juice is also pressing all but one live show on 2xLPs. One side on Brussels will be over 26 minutes long, and one side on Paris comes in at over 27 minutes. Only way to achieve those numbers is with compression.

I see. Thanks. That is not what I ordered from them though.

Just received my 1st pressing copy of the Chromatics Faded Now. It was supposed to be on white/red splatter, but I received a heavyweight clear record. Which is weird. Maybe a plant error. Shows as sold out online and no mention of a repress. It does sound incredible though!

Oakland, CA

$100-$125. The MOFI is great and all, I own it, and did have the Supervinyl clear MoFI pressing as well, but the bass is a tad bloated on it. And my copies were a bit noisy at times. I think the AP UHQR will probably sound the best. Ha ha. Yeah, I have 5 copies right now. I really like the MOV 2xLP pressing. Even though it's not straight AAA, it's 24b-96k, it does sound wonderful.

I bought the bundle and then a 2nd distressor copy. Says the bundle shipped, but no mention of the individual Distressor album.

Acoustics Sounds is doing their UHQV version of Kind of Blue in 2021, I've read.
