itsgoodtobefree Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Mine isn't yellowed, it's kind of an opaque clear, as opposed to the crystal clear Inni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 It was confirmed (and even photographed) that these would be a "milky clear", like a month ago. A lot of "clear" variants turn out like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustus Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Mine is definitely yellow. I sent another email to SR (they've been great with communicating quickly) asking about an ETA for the replacements, but they're unable to give one right now. simonsj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachblows Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 So if I got a bunk copy off Amazon should I hit up SR for the replacement? If so what email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember exactly how long but the Father John Misty one took a couple months to be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it play fine? Keep it and quit bitching. poweredbytrust, monklover, jonnywreck and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmclaugh Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Mine is 2795, just spinned and sounds great, much better than the standard repress earlier this year, my copy of that has clicks on C especially and noise on D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brody Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Emailed SR at the email someone posted earlier. They replied saying they will replace my discs. Classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mameeshkamowskwoz Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Shit... I'm in the middle of a move and need to listen to the two copies I got of this (one for me and a buddy) before the timeframe to correct this runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedannychang Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 A few copies of both up on SRC: https://www.srcvinyl.com/music/sigur-ros-takk-2xlp.html https://www.srcvinyl.com/music/sigur-ros-2xlp.html Says both will be available in a week on 11/27.

xxmartinxx Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I picked up a copy at a local shop today and I listened to the first LP. Side A is slightly noiser than your average record. The B side is pretty bad. Not unlistenable, but close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuit bored records Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So just wondering -- did the press that was put out by fatcat ever go out of print? I remember them being available for the last few years and with discount codes they would come out pretty cheap even shipped to the US. They are still on the aftermarket for around the same as this current pressing costs.I'm just curious why people are continuing to seek this press out when it's publicly known to be faulty, especially when the fatcat ones are still out there and play beautifully. Is it just because of the clear color? Are people under the impression this version more directly "supports" the band? poweredbytrust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first made this thread late last year (it was originally about the entire reissue series), ( ) was going for around $70-$90, and Agaetis $50-$70. I only see one sealed Fat Cat listing on Discogs under $40, so they are still pretty expensive and not as readily available as you make them out to be. There was, however, an XL pressing on black earlier this year that is readily available, but there were reports of audio distortion issues. As for why people are buying this knowing that it has issues, the record label has promised replacements, so it's not like we'll be stuck with defective copies forever.

Cloudsbelow Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 And this is also the first pressing that the band themselves have full control over. They bought the rights and masters and all of that back from the labels that originally put their albums out. They're going through repressing these the way they want. Additionally, as stated above, they're aware that there were faulty stampers at some point in the run and are replacing those once they access how many. If you happen to get one of the clean copies......it's actually a damn great pressing.....great dynamic range, full and thick bottom end, no distortion in the highs at all.....but that's if you grab a clean one. Also this is the first time it's been available on any color other than black. The non yellowy copies are just a mildly clear that matches the artwork pretty damn well. couldnt agree more.. i've had a few different pressings of this in the past and a clean copy of this puts the previous pressings (that ive heard) to shame.

Barberbro Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Amazon.ca has s new pre order up for the ( ) clear vinyl. The second picture shows a numbered jacket... Are these the replacements...?

rooks Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 there's no way replacements are ready already, and they are also not selling replacements separately, they are replacing people's messed up discs on a disc by disc basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At just over $26 CDN that pretty good both north and south of the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I'm curious about what version that is. I have the Fat Cat pressing but keep toying around with trying to upgrade to this pressing, but I really don't want to have to go through the replacement process with SR if I get a defective copy. They have a handful of copies at my local shop for $45 CAD so $26 CAD would be a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to receive my copy from the SR store. At least SR is handling the situation properly. But this price is so good. Even if you had to replace it.

I'll compare the two and throw the other one up for sale at what I paid originally for it or setup an exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
