Outside of the Pixies, I did not. Until I went back and listened to it then much came flooding back. Still, I passed on this release for now. Maybe the next time 'round. 1 hour ago, Bladewillisisdead said: Got The Fountain on Monday. Emailed them Tuesday morning. Got my replacement this morning. Holy fucking shit that's some customer service. No idea how media mail sent from TX to NY on Tuesday got here on Thursday. So far I'm like 3/4 of the way through and it's 1000x better. A few clicks/pops here and there but well within reason and doesn't come close to ruining anything. I've talked a lot of shit about Mondo over the years, but this was some A+ customer service. Also, with the Death Waltz guy in charge they seem to have gotten their shit together. Thant's great news. DWRC certainly had a good influence on Mondo (eliminating random variants, etc), but Mo has had a huge, huge hand in improving their overall customer service and accountability as well. They have become a trustworthy brand for certain. hallowken78 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Him reading this place gives him a good idea about vinyl nerds and how they will respond when things go right/wrong. I never had a problem with Mondo before Mo, but things certainly have gotten even better. Edited November 18, 2016 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name might get thrown around a lot in print and vinyl circles... but for damn good reason. I might not be all about all their releases but I've never had a bad thing to say about them. docbronze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade, did you get a black retail? Was it just the vinyl itself or did they replace the whole LP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Just got a reply back and they said if Fight Club hasn't shipped before Gremlins, they'd combine it. It probably will, but it's awesome they'd do it if they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyremix Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Anyone else from the UK getting stung with customs charges? Everytime I combine orders lately I end up with extra charges so it defeats the object of trying to save money! That said, the Luke Cage, Jessica Jones & Daredevil LP's look stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thievedrelic Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Just weighing in for data points; I just got my Fountain and it sounds great. A few clicks and pops on the runouts obviously but nothing that affects the tracks themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_James_Champ Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Replacement Fountain is on the table now and it's shades better. Still a little noisy, few little pops, but nothing like the other one I got. @Bladewillisisdead had the description spot on, it was like a metronome, and it hit on the same spot every revolution. This is so much better. Glad they made it right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're looking at this: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Jerry-Goldsmith-Gremlins-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/master/99888 . It says right there its a mini album and has a few promo songs like Peter Gabriel on it. This will be just the score from Jerry Goldsmith, it will christmassy, spoopy, and probably 45rpm.

Clint Mansell has been retweeting people posting pictures of it and a lot of them have been like "I don't even have a record player!"

hallowken78 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Spun the A side of the fountain today and there was a light surface noise throughout and a few crackles/pops, but nothing detrimental enough to the listening experience to warrant asking for another copy. Gotta listen to Side b later on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
