allenh Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Got mine today, and also got hit with a massive customs charge on it. Really pissed off about that to be honest. Total bill: 87aud. Same here, occupational hazard I'm afraid. It's not the customs charge though it's the handling fee, the charge on mine was £12.13 with £8 being the handling charge, that's the bit that pisses me off. It depends how much vinyl you buy from overseas, I buy a lot and some I get hit with and some I don't so overall I think I'm ahead. I got the lenticular cards in mine so I was pleased about that though dirac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way their postal service is: you have to say if it's a gift or not. And I guess the people who send it out don't really tick the 'gift' box. That 8£ fee is crazy though, not sure where/what that actually goes to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazHilarant Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Ok. Good. Must be getting beaten up by canadian customs as we speak, at least it's on its way. dirac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberbro Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Anybody compare the SQ of the U.S. release to the EU/AUS one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Dont have the US one, but the EU press is the same cut (Sterling in the deadwax) but pressed at MPO (meaning France). Records are clean and 95% flat, outer sleeve is sturdy, inner sleeves are printed (luckily no hairlines on the records). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberbro Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Well I cracked open my US copy and it sounds fantastic too. Flat, quiet and they sound pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brody Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 my US has some noticeable inner groove distortion. otherwise it sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The distortion is on which side? Sterling have one of the best cutting engineers and equipment in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brody Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The vocals start to fall apart on the last track on each side. The moment and cause I'm a man in particular. My elys 2 is def sensitive to igd, but I'd like to get my hands on a eu to compare. it just looks higher quality.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Ok, there is definitely IGD on EU press also, the vocals get very sibilant, so dont get that one. As I said before they are identical cuts - deadwax is the same on EU and US press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I've seen people in Discogs complain about the pressing quality too. But I haven't noticed any issues. Aren't they 9 years early for a deluxe pressing with b-sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
