Mattallurgist Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 It's blowing my mind that US people are getting it before us UK folks - I had no idea they were that well known beyond Europe! I'm just jealous, really. whoa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highfives Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I've listened to this a few times through. It sounds great, albeit a little quiet. The packaging is nice for the price point. The red swirl color is almost nonexistent in my copy, so it's basically yellow not that it matters much. I'm just super happy to finally have a copy of this as it was at the top of my list for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_James_Champ Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Fell in love with this album because of @highfives and my buddy @Fowty Dollaz was kind enough to gift me this album as an early birthday/x-mas/hurricane survival gift. But man, did it get beat to hell on the it's way. Luckily, the vinyl itself is unscathed, but there are some deep creases on the jacket. He's gonna reach out and see if they would at least replace that portion, as the rest of it is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get it sorted - might be my emotional attachment to the album but I don't know if I could accept any kinda ding on my copy.

mcpherson123 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 My copy came in yesterday. Only got around to listening to the first side and though there were a few pops, the overall sound was good. I'll have to give it a more comprehensive listen to really judge though. Its been a long time since I've listened to this material on any format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinyl Fury Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Finally got this in hand. Previous poster was right in that it is slightly quieter than most, I turned my master volume up about a notch higher than usual. But, in this case it's a great thing. It's clear there isn't a whole lot of dynamic compression, and no crazy gain limiting. The drums are very punchy, surprisingly so at times. Wide sound stage. Thick in all the right places. 'It's been a lot of fun rebuilding this record at Abbey Road from the unlabelled original tapes. Frank Arkright has done a wonderful job. We hope you can hear the new found air, space and definition in this new version. Not to mention the BALLS.' - Nailed it. Especially for how affordable this was, it's a very satisfying purchase. I hope we see this done to subsequent albums, of which I still don't have any on vinyl.

Frames also comes around under $30 every once in a while. Music for Nurses, Everyone Into Position, and most EPs don’t come around often.

Stress On The Sky Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Happy that its hitting it out of the park as far as sound quality goes for most of you, that means I'm bound to be happy with it. The wait just feels long and quiet. Still I see the merit in prioritizing overseas orders and have had that work out well for me in reverse plenty of times. whoa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine came just like this, except they used a ripped-open used mailer that was taped shut. Mine was fairly beat up too, but I haven't had a chance to open it to see if the records themselves are fine. Hopefully not like yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll show you guys pictures when I get a chance. It seems like it will be fine though, it's just kinda funny because I seem to have such awful luck with records.
