Gotta listen to Side b later on... Yeah, it seems it's only a few so far that were severely affected. You got lucky. Like I said, the new copy is so much better. Still a very noisy pressing though.

rickydenim Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hopefully a black retail version is on the way. The web variant looks amazing but ultimately I want to hear this with A+ sound quality. From the sounds of it I probably don't want to listen to this with my headphones!

Rip Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 My copy of DEATHGASM looks amazing. Can't wait to sit down and listen to it. Also, on the back of the OBI strip, it says "Southbound" is on the way! Can't wait for that. natenomm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Chiming in here to bring some hope, got my Fountain in the other day and played it a few times. Love the clear, low volume cut (low and clear is always better). Gave it a thorough clearing before spinning it and it sounds great. Very little surface noise and no clicks or pops. There was one spot on side B that had a little surface for about 10 seconds during a very quiet part, but that was it. Definitely not the best pressing I have (the Blade Runner soundtrack takes that honour, it truly sounds better than digital), but it's better than average. tetsuodaironman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdz68 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 My fountain copy sounds perfect except for the scratch on side A that causes the first 20 seconds to sound like a metronome. I can live with it but damn such a beauty! I concur with daegor that this is definitely a "low and clear" cut! Mmmmmm sweet sounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Sooo...does anyone remember how Mondo's last Black Friday sale went (besides gallons and gallons of bloodshed)? Did they use the same URLs as the original listings on the site, or is it just a slaphappy free-for-all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't remember how the URLs were, but if you can go through there archive and looks for something that might catch your eye. https://mondotees.com/collections/archive natenomm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I think you go to the poster page and they just all drop there. It is a cluster fuck natenomm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeJoe Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I was browsing the site when it switched over. now I can't access the archive. Does anyone know if there is anywhere else that has a list of mondo posters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector53 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 As much as fun as it is to want to go for the chase of elusive posters on BF, I realized that I gotta stop this poster-buying. It was fun when I wanted to put up some stuff on my walls. Now I've got some of my favorite current artists' work but no place to put them besides their poster tubes which is pretty lame imo. Also cutting into my vinyl purchases and I can't have that haha. Though cheers to Mondo and the other companies I got posters from for their continued successes in poster business.

Please put them in a flat file or mylar sleeves and a portfolio. Long term storage in a tube is just bad. Or another idea is one of those displays that you can flip through and see your prints....

bigdz68 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 You can also try bags unlimited for mylar sleeves and backing boards. I bought a few different portfolios a LONG time ago and a handful of different size sleeves. Ya you end up spending a few hundred for a lot of protection but in the end its worth it and you can add quite a few prints to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idioteque... Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 SO my fountain came in and even though its slightly better, "The Last Man" is noise mania! I ran it through a wash cycle 2x. Thinking about giving it another wash cycle. I do not understand how this happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjm23 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Question for those who bought the Jessica Jones LP. When I opened the record I noticed something on the inside of the gatefold. On my copy on the right side of the door I have an indent on the sleeve almost looks like a puncture. There is no other markings that I noticed but I genuinely cannot tell if it's supposed to be there or it really is a defect? Any help I would appreciate, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
