jcolls13 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 yeah, if it is 33, hopefully they fixed the issues the last few represses had..c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 So these have to be the first 100% XL reissues, right? Because the others are still using the old Capitol backstock. Looking forward to sound impressions. jcolls13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looots of wasted space at that point. Indeed, but 2-3 songs from this album is still ~15 min per side. Looking back labels prefer not to press more than 11-12 min per side at 45 rpm records. Discogs says, that's 33 rpm( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 damn that's a bummer. I was thinking of like side a of Kid A with two songs. That will be 8 1/2 minutes on there, but yeah about 14 on side 2 and so on. Could have been done, but meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I don't even see this listed on discogs. They could easily put Treefingers on C and each side would be 13 min or less. I still doubt it'll be 33 1/3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudsbelow Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 yeah, its up on discogs now. https://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Kid-A/release/9097173 i am off now to get it.. will spin and report back.. have a pretty decent setup so should be pretty obvious how they stack up to the 10" cuts. *finally snagged an LPKIDA first press of kidA the other day! weeeee Shelby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudsbelow Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Most definitely 33rpm. Confirmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimosityDK Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Would this have been better if it had been 45rpm? Could someone explain the difference to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could someone explain the difference to me? 45rpm takes up more space on a record but theoretically allows for a higher fidelity sound. It's not practical for most full-length LPs because it means only 2-3 songs fit on each side, but since they're only putting 2-3 songs on each side anyway, and all Radiohead fans are huge nerds who would immediately buy this new pressing for the promise of higher sound quality, it's kind of weird that they went with 33 rpm.

Cloudsbelow Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Just dropped the needles and its a quiet pressing. Immediate impression. Low surface noise. Nice dynamics and deep full bass. Sounds great to me. Really appreciating the detail and sound stage. They put a loop in at the end of side a. The first little blip from national anthem. Cant remember that being there on the 10" pressing. Still wish I didnt have to change sides every couple tracks. Was the source truly remastered? Gonna have to a/b with older cuts. Sounds true to the recording I know and love so if remastered its not jarring in its differences. Wouldnt surprise me if it was though, some details I am picking up on that I never noticed before. Halfway thru first record and no issues with the pressing. Large format art work is rad. I think they nailed this pressing. A/b'd it with my old UK pressing and this beats it imho. Clearer bass, better detail and does sound remastered to me. Will be my go to. ghjghj, timsimmons and jeromium 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I don't think it would be remastered, but with a new cut, it could have different characteristics. Thanks for the feedback. May be worth picking up even though I have the 10" parlophones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be Interesting to hear amnesiac, those 10" pressings are arguably yh best sounding example of a "modern" vinyl pressing, from the mastering right down to the cut.
