wellnow Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hopefully the box sets will sell for less ridiculous amounts now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 This just reminded me how annoyed I was when I ordered the box way before it was sold out, they sent me a tracking number, and never shipped it. And then told me they didn't have any left. But I'll grab a couple of the albums now for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhcp02 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 So glad i snatched this up. Can't believe it was nearly 5 yrs ago. Hopefully they do a new album soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Never forget VC’s valuable contribution to the cluster F by leaking the store link an hour before it was sent to their mailing list (the place the band told everyone the post-RSD pre-order would be). I saw the mailing list link and bought it within 1 minute and I still had to wait several months for the SECOND pressing, since the leaked link had incurred an entire pressing’s worth of sales before we had a chance. Lol. Great memories. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperonigin Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I managed to get this for a very reasonable price off of ebay after the initial on sale, nothing close to the insane amounts it goes for now. It really is a beautiful set, I'm glad everyone who wants them will be able to get these now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxonjulin Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I remember waiting in line 12 hours overnight at my local record store to get this. Good times indeed. By morning I didn't even like vinyl anymore and just wanted to go home and sleep lol niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I'll be happy to be able to finally grab these, and on black vinyl (hopefully) too! niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) I'll take this moment to quickly remind everyone that the drummer Pete McNeal who played with CAKE from 2001-2004 (never on an album thankfully) is a convicted sex offender against a 3 year old. Carry on. Edited February 2, 2019 by MachoHommeRandallSauvage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl addict Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Some of the reviews I'm reading are claiming the box set didn't sound very good. Anyone that can elaborate? Please let me know what you are spinning it on for a system too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have any of those issues, mine was the second round. My turntable is a ProJect Essential II Digital with the stock cartridge (Ortofon OM-5E). I just archive my stuff in 24-bit digital cuz you know... dynamic range matters and I don't like wearing down my records.

The records sound fine. I had an issue with one record, Prolonging the Magic I think, there seems to be an issue with one song where it makes a loud bump like there is a scratch but there is no visible damage. They sent a replacement and it had the same issue. They sent another replacement from the second press and it had the same issue....so I gave up. It must have been a problem with the plates they used, or a problem with the cut. I'm quite satisfied with the sound and quality otherwise.

What happened to those other 2 copies of Prolonging the Magic? One I sold on discogs and the other I gave to a friend. Prolonging the Magic is the record they pressed in the wrong colour for the second run. That's the defining difference between the first run and second run. I think all the other records were pressed in the correct colour (but I haven't seen them to know for sure). I know this because of the multiple copies I was shipped. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
