Fowty Dollaz Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Spinning "BigBlack" (named as such because of her physical characteristics as well as an homage to the band) right now and I have to say that it is the best version I have heard. I have one og, peach, grey, and "BB." I will say that the vocals are definitely in your face more, but there is NO noise or skips so far. I am on "Faint of Hearts" at the moment. I highly encourage the purchase of the 180g black over all others if you are just in it to spin it. I, on the other hand, have a variant collecting problem. the whole thing was solid. No problems.

GhostTrail Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Lesson learned! Thanks! Those sites are super handy! And with the prices declining, I'm sure you'll get one soon! There will still be tons of these popping up, so just set your limit and hammer all of the auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinylfilmaholic Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Mine came warped from Amazon. Had to put it in the vinyl flat. My copy is quite sibilant though on the vocals. I need a new cart bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Just an FYI to anyone else in a similar situation, ordered this from Amazon, and it was delivered Monday. Jumped on the Popmarket deal and was planning on returning it to Amazon, they're definitely charging shipping for me to return it. This wasn't always the case in the past, like you've all stated. I'm a Prime member as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take time off from buying records and buy a good cart. Doesn't have to be incredible, but a good audio technica, denon, ortofon in the 100 to 200 dollar range will do. Maybe a grado if it's a good match for your arm. I know it's expensive, but it will be the best thing for your vinyl addiction ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Gogh Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I don't know why, but I couldn't help but laugh at this. Although if my copy turned up like that I'd be so freaking angry! My black copy should arrive tomorrow, looking forward to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Friendly Rap God Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Has anyone seen a black yet? Spun it? Just bought mine but im at work until 9:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a new cart bad. Are you sure it's your cart? None of my other albums have such sibilant vocals like my grey copy of this album. Kinda freaked me out at first, but I just listened to the new Primus and it sounds great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawney Bomb Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Definitely see what people mean about the vocals and drums being very forward. Black version sounds good through the first 2 sides though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s0uthard Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Got my grey in the mail, after having to call them when mine didn't ship and finding out they forgot to, and my B side skips horribly and the record is warped. Looks like I will have to contact them again and try to get a replacement. I refuse to pay almost $50 with shipping and have a record that skips so much it ruins the songs.

Tawney Bomb Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Not trying to be a dick here, but did you play them to make sure they're not just mislabeled? I did, same tracks on both. Was hoping it was just a mislabel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Bummer. :/ just shoot the label or retailer a quick email and I'm sure they'll take care of it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Just listened to my gray copy and it's perfect! No warping, skips, or anything. So glad to finally have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family Friendly Rap God Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Can you imagine all of this when the GA1 Neverender comes around. The flippers will be out in FULL FORCE for that one. I probably need to start saving for that one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 So apparently my order of the grey never went through. Oh well considering all the negative feedback on the quality. Peach for the collecting and black for the spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
