thefinalsound Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Amazon just released their calendar for this years lightening deals in music. It is of course mainly cd's but there are a few (literally) vinyl deals that may be of interest to some people. If you haven't done these lightning deals before, they are time sensitive and limited in quantity. Just check the calendar for something you want and be there to click buy the minute it's available. http://www.amazon.co...&tag=slickdeals The vinyl I could find (and maybe there's more, I didn't click through every link) was this: Nirvana Nevermind Deluxe Remaster (yes the shitty one) - $37.99 Iron Maiden En Vivo - $17.49 Paul McCartney Kisses on the Bottom - $15.49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedlee Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005K1VRII/ref=amb_link_366426982_78?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-4&pf_rd_r=1N49VY4ZWMF8QH05AM6H&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_p=1420541662&pf_rd_i=1000451311 there's this Queen cd box set for 7 dollars. might be worth picking up if you dig the band. probably a mistake on their part.

glass realms Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks for the heads up on the Queen boxes. All 3 CD box sets are on sale for $6.99. That's 30 CDs for $21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vol 1 and 2 were in stock, and it says they will be delivered by Nov 21st. #3 was temporarily out of stock. Now all 3 are at regular price and out of stock... This should be interesting! Probably going to end up like my $26 Smashing Pumpkins Box set! Stupid Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuck Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I own the single lp version of this & it's probably the worst sounding record I've ever heard. Avoid this pressing at all costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I dont think the single version is the same as the 4xlp set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuck Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Oh. Well then just avoid the single version of it. On a somewhat related note, does anyone want to buy a slightly used copy of Nirvana Nevermind? I hear it sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefinalsound Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Ya do check the reviews for the Nirvana box, they're pretty bad. http://www.amazon.com/Nevermind-4-LP-Deluxe-Edition/dp/B005CK76ZA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1353263054&sr=8-3&keywords=nirvana+nevermind+20th+anniversary+super+deluxe+edition The other individual pressing on the other hand is from RTI and sounds amazing.

kidamnesiac Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I have the CD of the 2011 version of Nevermind which uses the same remaster as the vinyl and confirm that it is poorly done. Too much modern compression. Sounds awful compared to my RTI press. From one of the Amazon reviews: "To your average kid who solely listens to illegally downloaded MP3's on his ipod, this might sound fine, but not to me. It's just too loud."

I just listened again and it sounded fine. But who knows, maybe i'm just an "average kid"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Do you have the vinyl? I just listened again and it sounded fine. But who knows, maybe i'm just an "average kid"! Mine doesn't sound bad. Maybe it isn't as good as other versions, but still not terrible. I mostly bought it for the BBC sessions and Boombox stuff rather than the album itself, so whatever. It does sound pretty compressed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for $40, I couldn't pass it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylet Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Snagged one of those Nirvana - Nevermind 4xLP sets! Here's too hoping the people from this thread are exaggerating and it's not as bad sounding as they're saying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Grabbed Nevermind too - but only for the extras. My Back to Black 320 pressing is going to be my go-to piece for the real album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntwolf Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 i don't remember it sounding esp good or bad...i have that and the ORG color one...i've had a few diff. versions of it. the back to black one didn't sound esp special to me either... it's the only one i don't have an original pressing of too...i don't remember if i ever did a back to back of the originals to the ORG reissues...

troymess Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Grabbed Nevermind. I was a little hesitant due to the negative reviews on the mix/master but at that price, I'll at least give it a shot. I'll sell it if it's not for me.
