  1. I'd like to hear some conclusions on these last individual reissues on Rhino/Rough Trade/Sire from 2009 to 2012, regarding the sound quality and packaging. Preferably from people who bought all of them including the compilations.

     

    Regarding packaging - gatefold or not, printed inner sleeves or not.

     

    With your comment, please state whether it's UK or US pressings you are talking about.

     

    Thank you.

  2. Really?!? I wonder if I just have a bum set although as I said, Ive seen similar complaints elsewhere. I was listening to an original Harvest pressing of Wire's "Chairs Missing" which sounded great. I put Suspended Animation afterwards and had to jack the volume. Even then, it sounds small and muffled...nowhere near the power of the cd. 

     

    Anyway, Im glad you like it. I have high hopes for the Bungle reissues..although I will probably wait for reviews before rushing to buy. 

     

    Dude, I hope you're not sporting a Crosley...

     

    I'll join the others in saying that all of the five LP's sound excellent. And even though the surface of the records is somewhat scuffed from fabrication and or handling in manufacture, I've only heard a pop on the first record. Otherwise, all smooth.

  3. Resurrecting the thread because apparently this record has grown on me.

    A year later somehow it sounds different, kind of weird but I love the record now. I can't understand how I dissed it when it came out.

     

    Maybe because I listened to it totally disinterested and very casual... not sure, but I enjoyed it a lot.

     

    Not really important, but curious if anyone else felt the same. 

  4. I had a weird experience with them.  

     

    Ordered 3 records, shipped to Canada.  Received order confirmation, next day received invoice for 3 records... paid invoice, in retrospect it should have seemed low, but it was more than the total of the 3 records.  Received shipping confirmation with a shipping manifest with 2 records on it.  Turns out the 3rd was sold out and that the shipping charges were actually more than the cost of the missing record.

     

    I just wish they had let me know before i paid and they shipped.

     

    The story of how it was resolved is for another time, another thread.

     

    They just did this to me. 

    They sent me a total, I paid, then got an e-mail saying it's actually not in stock and will ship when available. Just now... fuck.

     

    One of the things I hate the most: distros charging for shit they don't have.

  5. Soooo, I just put up on bandcamp my first ever drone/ambient piece... 51 mins... free download...

     

    please check it out... gonna do a lathe cut on 2x12" soon...

    I'm gonna try and post the one I'm working on now by monday...

     

    I like this a lot and I'd be down for 2x12" but I've never had or played a lathe cut. 

     

    Anyone ever had one, and how do they sound?

    I'm also curious what the material is... acrylic plexi, or actual vinyl discs?
