darkeyelids Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Actually, the white vinyl is very noisy. I would recommend black or possibly the European press. They used GZ last time and the jackets and sleeves appear GZ (the white vinyl is definitely not GZ). My copy sounds really great actually, didn't notice any surface noise at all. Wish i could say the same for the LTD edition of the widowspeak album... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkeyelids Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Im still waiting on my LE widowspeak... does it sound shit? I cant wait to get it. Its not the best, several loud pops. I find that is a constant issue with captured tracks, most of their LPs dont sound as good as they should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelso330 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think you guys are confused! Veronica falls is on Slumberland which I've never once ever ever had an issue with: shipping or poor quality!!! Widowspeak is on CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonbeams Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think you guys are confused! Veronica falls is on Slumberland which I've never once ever ever had an issue with: shipping or poor quality!!! Widowspeak is on CT Slumberland in the US and Bella Union in UK. I was wrong, this was pressed by GZ, but it has a handwritten matrix, weird. Slumberland is a top-knotch label. Papa Slumber is a mighty swell fellow and does a darn fine job running that label. On the other hand GZ has piss-poor quality control, so there's always a chance your new records will come with scratches, warps and pieces of paper lodged into the vinyl. My blue copy of Veronica Falls came with a scratch going through the entire track "Stephen." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badabsentee Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Looks like Rough Trade still has some copies of the Covers 2 EP. http://www.roughtrade.com/albums/69537 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybabyxsmokes Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 my copy sounds good. its weird ive been thinking a lot about how its basically a fact that color vinyl will deteriorate faster than black and how maybe i should just seek out black vinyl always. also love that slumberland uses black inner sleeves. way classy.

FactoryRecords Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Was gonna buy this when the pre-order went up, but it's nowhere near as good as their first album =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinisterkidd Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 did something eat your box?? and i think this album is alot better then the first, but found love in a graveyard is still one of my favorite songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Was gonna buy this when the pre-order went up, but it's nowhere near as good as their first album =( How can you decide how good it is before a) giving it a few listens and more importantly, listening to it on vinyl? Their first album was one of the best records I've ever heard. If I were to not buy any record as good as that, I would end up rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FactoryRecords Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I did listen to it several times. I have a promo copy of the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
