mmhmm Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Not only is white super lame, it's also (purportedly) subject to the most surface noise out of most color options, I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmhmm Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I want FIF on vinyl and your username always reminds me of this. I hear they're working on it. They recently regained control of the rights to their back catalog so I'd assume they're coming. Would be cool if it were a box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copelandkid Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 SMLXL just tweeted the vinyl color for Two Lefts will be...white. How creative lol. i despise the look and sound of white vinyl, and i know i'm not alone in that... how could they??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nardes Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'll make a big assumption and say that the "new" cover will also be white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmhmm Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Blame the Matts. They're making the decisions on all of this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Some previews of the vinyl art, via the SMLXL twitter. Looks like they got the same guy who did the CD art, and it's gonna be orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yet they've opted for white vinyl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Trying not to be skeptical but this release is looking pretty lame to me so far. White vinyl *ugh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm not sure how the band/label is making decisions on the vinyl color compared with cost to produce/cost to the consumer. Perhaps there are limitations on how creative they can be with vinyl color choice, otherwise they exceed budget? I dunno. You'd assume a run of 3000 would lower production costs though. Either way, surely the band/label must be aware of the option to be a little more creative on the vinyl itself...splatter, split, marble...anything really other than a solid or clear colorway. I'm not criticizing because I'm happy these are coming to vinyl but it is a reasonable question to raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Is there any way to know how much longer I can safely wait to order these? Royce and nardes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So white is bad because of surface noise, but you're bummed it's not some kind of splatter/split gimmick, which 9/10 times sounds like butts? I don't get the focused hatred of white vinyl. Aesthetically, it's a perfectly logical choice - it's the secondary color across all 5 (now 6, if the basic layout is the same) covers, and the solid color goes well with the simple monochromatic artwork and solid washes in the original layout.

No, I used the splatter/split as an example of thinking outside the box on the vinyl color instead of white. Doesn't mean it has to be gimmicky, just something a little more "fun" than white. But ya, I get your logic on the white matching with covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I wouldn't normally complain about that sort of thing.... but they're doing audio quality control with a Crosley. Fuck that noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpazzyMcGee Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 My bar for listening to a test press might be higher than most but I'm wanting to: 1. Have a kick-ass system 2. Possibly use headphones later so I can really notice the small things 3. Listen a few times to each side 4. Invite other people over to listen 5. And if I really want to, listen on a different record player What I feel like they do 1. Slap it on a Crosley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
