achillesstand7 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 For what it's worth, my copy sounds pretty good (online exclusive color). There is a little bit of noise at the beginning of the first track, but the rest of side 1 sounds great. Haven't made it on to side 2 yet, but I'm happy with side 1. I hope they get things sorted out for you guys that are experiencing problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idioteque... Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 They told me I just got a defective copy. I told them to send me one where they test it beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I cleaned mine as well. No improvement. I have dozens of splatter variants. I have dozens of warped records. There's probably a fair amount of overlap between those... I have never received a record that had such a constant and prevelant pop through a whole side. It really is like having a metronome right in the front of the mix. No visible scratches or anything either. I really hope Mondo offers me a replacement. All I want is to be able to FINALLY enjoy this music on vinyl. I've been waiting for as long as this music has existed. That being said, when it got to Death is the Road to Awe/Together We Will Live Forever...I cried. In the end, I'd have paid $30 just for those 2 tracks. Edited November 15, 2016 by Bladewillisisdead docbronze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're into synthwave, Carpenter worship, analog electronics, etc, that thing is a who's who of the cassettes you need to own. And Zoo Folle is bananas good. One of the funkiest jazz library LPs out there. Originals are scarce and regularly sell in the $500-1000 range. SNDTRK and Zoo Folle shipped today, and damn is SNDTRK good! It sounds great and the collection of songs is fantastic. I really look forward to giving Zoo Folle a spin soon. docbronze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPantz Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Same problems with The Fountain. Surface noise is crazy. Crackles and pops also but nothing too bad. Mondo is issuing a refund, so at least they are trying to make it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffthomas84 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Cleaned the hell out of my Mondo Con variant for Fountain, helped quite a bit. Not perfect but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_s82 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Got in Mondo's The Fountain (Splatter Version) and the Monster Squad LP (Green Amulet Version) in yesterday. No surface noise on The Fountain (guess I got lucky). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like their recent business model has been to offer up a pre-sale after the initial copies have sold out. Guess we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsuodaironman Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Didn't stand a chance in hell at getting that Clockwork Orange print. I was there the second it dropped too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdz68 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Im so glad I forgot the Clockwork print went onsale this morn. I really wish the average Mondo print would drop down to 24 or 30 inches in length. These things are so damn long they are pushing the limits of my 36" mylar sleeves and portfolio case. /endrant Edited November 15, 2016 by bigdz68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jentenenbaum Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Managed to get a Enter The Dragon on what I assume was sheer rage about getting shut out of Clockwork, on the off chance anyone would like to trade holla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Yeah the Enter the Dragon was pretty easy to get as everyone rushed to the Clockwork. Both are good (I have the variants in my flat file now) but the clockwork is SO much nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenomm Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I snagged Enter the Dragon as well, but I will never not be able to see the nipple smack dab in the middle of his chest and the entire print.

tonyfranciosa Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 My copy of the Fountain is pretty clean. I put it through the VPI twice and all that's left is some light crackling. Unfortunately this is a pretty quiet score overall so any noise is going to disrupt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, was surprised....listened to the B-side today and had to crack up my amp as I never did before... And my MondoCon version is quite noisy, too....anybody got any reply from Mondo about this variant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my copy had a normal amount of surface noise and clicks/pops here and there I would have accepted it and moved on. But "pop...pop...pop" every revolution is some shit. So far Mondo's customer service has been very prompt and accommodating. Hopefully I get a good copy. If not I'll chalk it up as a loss and just be happy my B-side sounds so good.
