Skacel Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I picked up the bong load reissues but will probably get the 2LP Figure 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Nice! Think Figure 8 is the only thing I'll be missing after Either / Or ships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) I think at this point I'm only missing New Moon, which I haven't ever really even listened to. edit: and of course 7" stuff because I don't care about 7" Edited February 17, 2017 by The Ghost of Randy Savage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jlegg Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 $30 for XO, and $40 for figure 8.... Thought about pulling the trigger, then saw and additioanl $18.90 for shipping. No thanks. Charles Barkley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I don't understand why Bong Load released Figure 8 as a single LP. It didn't sound good. Hopefully these new reissues will sound much better. But they could have done 45RPM for the double LP. Don't understand why they didn't. That being said...fuck these prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) That shipping is insane and I'm not one to bitch about shipping. Edited April 6, 2017 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after a cleaning. Tons of popping and noise at parts, which is hard to ignore on an Elliott Smith album. And I chalked it up to the fact that it was 18 tracks on a single LP. Sold it because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an alternate take, mine sounds fine with no clicks and minimal noise. edit: I also got mine for ~$24. I can't see anyone spending much more than that one these things.

itsgoodtobefree Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) If I wanted overpriced colored versions of these albums I would have bought the Bong Load reissues. I'm fine with getting the standard black on Amazon for $40 for the pair. Edited April 6, 2017 by itsgoodtobefree radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I just checked again because I forgot and it looks like the Geffen RPs come out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That puts the total at $72.15 for both. That's more reasonable than the $89 from uDiscover, but still way more expensive than it needs to be. I'm a sucker for colored/clear vinyl, but for $40, you can have both new presses sent to you with 2 day shipping from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsgoodtobefree Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 So apparently these use the same plates as the Plain Recordings pressings.
