hiimynameisron Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Sounds almost exactly like my old coke bottle pressing. Vinyl looks absolutely beautiful but unfortunately sound quality just isn't there. Edit: Then again I just listened to the cd master of this album and even that doesn't sound incredible.

axotyl Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 listening to mine now.... can confirm each side starts out okay (not great) but the distortion definitely grows as you move inwards. still happy to have it on wax but yeah its a bummer.

I guess you and stl_ben just weren't bothered by/didn't notice the distortion or something. In that case I'd call this pressing a safe purchase kjkenney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, no repress is in the works as far as I know. Infinity on High has come in but it's not ready to go up for sale yet. More to come very soon on that.

I can definitely tell a good record from a bad record. Like I'm listening to FUTCT right now and can confirm that there is some nasty inner groove distortion on each side. Other than that it sounds compressed pretty much the whole way through. Glad to finally own a copy of it, just wish it was a better quality pressing. axotyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museummouth Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The OG press of FUTCT sounds phenomenal. If you can compare them, you'd be blown away by the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtgrindcore Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Mine was in a lp mailer the mailer was in perfect shape but the jacket is beat to hell too. It's like someone chucked it at the wall then packed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can compare them, you'd be blown away by the difference. I have both. I'm going to have to listen to each tonight to hear how bad it is. I usually just play the OG when I listen to it anyway, but I like to collect all of the variants. as far as IOH - what's been said is accurate. Good sounding, not amazing, but good. The OG (picture disc) was so bad I framed it and will never listen to it again ejc625 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeRyanD Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I found out about this LITERALLY the day after my birthday code stopped working. Don't want to drop $30 on a poor quality record but I still want this. Anyway there'll be a Labor Day code to bring this down a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasHawk Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Picked up my copy today. Absolutely beautiful pressing. The colors really pop in person. I do, however, notice distortion on the last track of each side. You can actually see it in the grooves as well. The rest of the record sounds great though, and I'm glad to finally have an affordable copy of one of my favorite albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have an estimated week/date that Infinity will go up for sale? I'm interested in buying another record at the moment but I want to make sure I don't buy that one and then have Infinity go up a day after or something so I can't afford it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) got my copy. records looks awesome. i dont have any other pressings to compare it by but to me it could sound better - especially the last tracks on each side. ive definitely heard much worse sounding records from start to finish though. this is about what id expect from a HT exclusive.

It has nothing to do with HT. It's the plates that the record company chose to reuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
