thesecrets0308 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I got my black copy of Stoner Witch today. Couple of things have me frowning: 1. It has Side A center labels on both sides of the record. 2. On the true Side A, there was quite a bit of loud pops throughout much of the side. I didn't bother to clean it before playing it because it's in one of those inner sleeves that's lined with plastic and i didn't see any visual particles on the record (the record itself looks and feels like really good quality). Going to run it through a cleaning and hopefully that will fix the snaps and pops on Side A. Other than those 2 things it sounds really good.

Dusted_By_Space Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I didn't have the label problem, but my stoner witch was pretty noisey on both sides. Other two lps sound great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusted_By_Space Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Yeah cleaned both sides, pops throughout. Not enough to be put out by, but it's noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 How did you clean your record, spin clean style, or vacuum rcm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 My Stoner Witch sounds great. Very little, if any surface noise or pops and clicks. I didn't clean it in my RCM, but I did clean my Houdini, and the slight surface noise I heard was gone. My Houdini is ridiculously off-center though. My tonearm was visually swaying back and forth.

pizza face Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Yeah my copy of Houdini is also off center. Has some clicks and pops towards the the last song on Side A. I didn't clean it either but I don't really have a cleaning method that gets deep into the grooves aside from spray and a cloth. It might just be me but it also seems quiet, my speakers are maxed out but I want it louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I felt like Houdini sounded a bit quiet and muffled, but I figured that's just the way that album sounds. I haven't heard it in years and when I did it was either in the car or at home, both on very crappy super budget equipment. i thought it might be my equipment or a defective pressing, but the drums sound great, so...

youspinmeround Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Listened to all 3 this weekend. Great clean, centered pressings. Really surprising for united these days. The fact that all 4 records have no issues is a modern miracle All sound really good to me Kinda surprised that stag became a 2xlp and not the others as they are all about 50 mins Edited June 27, 2016 by youspinmeround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Got all 3 today - hopefully I'll have a chance to listen to them this week. But it's "home alone" type music so opportunities are limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberbro Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Heard of the band but never really listened to them. Took a listen this morning and I'm digging what I'm hearing. Is there one album that's is better than the others? freedumb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There a tonne of stuff, a lot of throw away and completist only, but these three albums are firmly solid. I'd also recommend Lysol, then Bullhead. I got into them with Ozma a long time ago!

youspinmeround Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Pretty much these 3, Ozma, Bullhead and the 3 albums with the big business dudes as part of the lineup(Senile animal, nude with boots, bride screamed murder) are worthwhile listens I also heard a re-issue of Prick is coming out on Aug 11 by Amp Rep hammertime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Just check out Houdini and poke around from there. As has been said the catalog is a mixed bag, so check out any album online before buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yancey47 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 They started to lose me a bit starting at (A) Senile Animal but yes Freak Puke is great. Almost Everything up to that is amazing. orangesix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeburns Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Got my copies of Stag and Stoner Witch from a local store. Houdini is sold out in a lot of places including there. Was forced to pay an extra $10 and get it from a seller via amazon... Bad news though - Stag only came with 1 of the 2 records (first record), will be dropping it back tomorrow for a replacement. Listening to it now. Excellent pressing. Nice and quiet and sounds super clean and huge! Just wish my daughter wasn't in bed asleep as this deserves to be played a lot louder than it currently is! Stoner Witch next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
