They are not all done by the same plant. Some are great, some not so much. The Jimi Hendrix albums ived bought have all sounded fantastic. Little Richard also. I have a bunch, can't think of any others that really pop out at me though. I rarely pay the extra for the colored version. I jusy wait until NC does a 25% off sale, and I grab them then. They may sell out online, but they are almost always available in store, for a long while after they are released too.

Shelby Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Nah there's a simple answer. Newbury doesn't press records or have any involvement in the process. It depends on the label. dantheriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could care less about the wax color, they do have a few that are priced well and I look at it as a way to get a few discs cheaper. Ive never heard of them save for this forum. So I wondered if they were some huge east coast thing to where they would get pressings done for the sake of people with OCD who want every color of a particular disc. Color/collectability over quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Color/collectability over quality. No it's pretty much usually the same press/master as the currently available black variant of whatever album it is you are looking at. So if the black gets good reviews, the NC should sound good too. That can go the other way too. Monastic_mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Was Blue Velvet $36.99 when it was first released? Super steep for a single LP but wondering if it was Newbury'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gold one is /1500. Might pick one of them up. The gold Chutes Too Narrow came out two years ago, they may be repressing at this point. I'm pretty sure it was off the site sometime last year and then reappeared, at which time I picked one up. Sounds good. I also got the maroon Wincing the Night Away that came out last year and is supposedly limited to 1200. I love the Heartworms album cover but I'm not hard pressed to pick up a physical copy unless it really grows on me. After one listen I like it better than Port of Morrow, but that didn't take much.

hammertime Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Come my Fanatics and Night Creeper exclusives are up, 149 available of each. For the low low price of $39.99...they will probably still fly off the shelves. MicLima 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknown pleasures Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Man, I could maybe see $34.99 but nearly $40 is insane. It's like they went straight to Newbury Mark-Up pricing. How much was the last Electric Wizard exclusive when they first listed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people refuse to pay these bullshit prices, Newbury will have to mark them down. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
