Got a shipping notification from DHL... Cant think of what else it could be. Its coming from some place called romulus in the USA. Either amsp or my blood music gost order. Dunno

My appreciation of the special edition IR and KOL really comes down to them being a better presentation of the music. They sound better, plain and simple. Admittedly, I am not one who appreciates album artwork, lyric sheets, inserts, gatefolds, etc etc.. I just want the best sound possible. If they could press KidA better than the new 12" release, Id buy it.. same with the early parlophone amnesiac.. I will be a bit chuffed if the AMSP special edition is just a repackaged version of the standard pressing.

so am I after watching that unboxing vid..

flip it .. it fits but you dont get the title on the spine... you dont need to the title on the spine to know what album it is. *whoopsie daisies.. timsimmons beat me to it.

I prefer it to my 10" parlophones. Be Interesting to hear amnesiac, those 10" pressings are arguably yh best sounding example of a "modern" vinyl pressing, from the mastering right down to the cut.

Just dropped the needles and its a quiet pressing. Immediate impression. Low surface noise. Nice dynamics and deep full bass. Sounds great to me. Really appreciating the detail and sound stage. They put a loop in at the end of side a. The first little blip from national anthem. Cant remember that being there on the 10" pressing. Still wish I didnt have to change sides every couple tracks. Was the source truly remastered? Gonna have to a/b with older cuts. Sounds true to the recording I know and love so if remastered its not jarring in its differences. Wouldnt surprise me if it was though, some details I am picking up on that I never noticed before. Halfway thru first record and no issues with the pressing. Large format art work is rad. I think they nailed this pressing. A/b'd it with my old UK pressing and this beats it imho. Clearer bass, better detail and does sound remastered to me. Will be my go to.

Will report back when home. Just gave it a quick spin on the shops table

Most definitely 33rpm. Confirmed

yeah, its up on discogs now. https://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Kid-A/release/9097173 i am off now to get it.. will spin and report back.. have a pretty decent setup so should be pretty obvious how they stack up to the 10" cuts. *finally snagged an LPKIDA first press of kidA the other day! weeeee

fine.. i'll go pick up my copy and report back.. the things I do for you guys!

These are out now.. anyone chime in on whether its 45 or 33.. kidA is waiting for me at my local indie and I just cant wait to find out.

touch base with me later in the oct.. im going to a show then and if you're still in need i can probably hook you up.

pft, who even plays records nowadays.

yes, so you should have an easy time getting it.

my order will probably be cancelled.. gonna try for the box regardless. POs like this remind me why i hate (and love) this hobby.

hey thanks, appreciate it!

got an preorder thru with magnolia thunderpussy.. (seriously, is that their name?).. wonder if it will get fulfilled.

nah, uk white was rubbish..

rad, these better be 45rpm! Love my original uk pressings of amnesiac and kidA.. Amnesiac specifically is an amazing piece of vinyl.... but, I like 12" records more. I'll keep the old ones.. fuck me.. i'll have 3 copies of kidA and three of Amnesiac

This doesn't bode well for a fellow canadian.

bong load just put more up.. go get em quick

me too, thanks.
