SoundHound1973

My deluxe box arrived today, and I'm really happy with it. The main LP sounds great, but I'm not sure where it was pressed. There is no GZ in the deadwax, and the label says made in the EU. The vinyl is flawless and a heavy 180g. The 10" is also very cool,pressed on yellow vinyl. The sound is much better than the CD.

Check the spine of the 10'' cover jacket, do you see B.C. there? I picked up the CD at HMV and Ghost BC is written on the spine. Great EP, can't wait for my vinyl to show up.

Dude, are you serious? You live in Finland for crying out loud. I would expect someone in your part of the world to find at least the black vinyl of that 10 inch in one of your stores. My comment was more in line with stores in North America. Didn't expect people to get so bent out of shape about it. I stand by my original comment. Unless you find a used copy of it in a store in North America, you are not going to find a new ordered copy of those 10 inches in those stores...not going to happen.

and that my friend is the gift that keeps on giving

You are correct, my bad.

Full albums for sure, I've never seen special EP or single 12inch pressings the band has released as pre-orders, never. Secular Haze never made it to any store I've been to. Only on sites like Ebay and they are 3 times the amount. If you do, buy them for me so I can resell them and make a sweet profit. If you have a paypal account I'll send the money to you that way.

Dave also produced the Abba cover on the Secular Haze vinyl and that was very limited. There will not be lots of pressings for this and you will not find it in big box stores.

I'm not so sure about the US 12 inch not being limited. I know when I placed by order for the bundle deal through myplaydirect, the 12inch vinyl for Secular Haze I received was from the limited Europe stock, and did not have B.C. on the cover. I know the bundle that contained that 12inch was very limited and sold out 3 hours after I placed my order. Maybe I got lucky, but I'm hoping the new 12inch is the same deal....European stock and part of the limited 1000 world wide for the black vinyl press. Also, I would not wait around and expect to pick this up in the stores. I have never seen any 12 inch pressing from Ghost in any store I've been to, nor was it available online at places such as Amazon, etc. These bundle specials are very limited so if you miss out here, expect to only be able to pick it up on places like Ebay with a hefty mark up.

Ordered through Modlife. I don't know how limited that vinyl will be but I assume they will be part of the 1000 presses worldwide. I ordered the previous bundle offer through my play direct and was very happy with the end result. I would have liked the tshirt bundle but felt the shirt sucked.

How's the sound and pressing quality on this?

They actually opened with this cool monk like chanting music and that bled into the two tracks that open the new album. Between the lighting, incense burning and the fog machine, it was really effective. Man, they killed it. I was literally right up front, could touch the stage, and could really get into it. I have to say that hearing the new tunes live, gives me a whole new appreciation for the new album. I've been listening to it non stop since I saw them.

They really were awesome. I have to say I thought the new stuff came off great live. The way they opened the show was stellar.

No I didn't see that at all. Just a poster and various shirts. They actually had signs that said no CDs or vinyl.

Saw them last night in Montreal and they rocked.

CD is really compressed, and the vinyl isn't. Vinyl sounds better IMO, and the vinyl was mastered by a different person. There are some graphs up on this forumhttp://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/ghost-infestissumam-vinyl-bundle-pre-order.314515/page-2#post-8841629 Check it out.

Well, those shirts are up on Ebay going for $29.99, try that.

Just got my US bundle pack today. Shitty packing and zero packing materials. Everything was moving around inside, but thankfully nothing was damaged. Does anyone know the stats for the 10 inch single for secular haze? I was happy to see that it was pressed in Europe, but it is on black vinyl. I believe there were 200 pressed on clear vinyl. Was there any other colors for the 10 inch? I think all the black vinyl editions was limited to 1000.

Any issues with warping that others complained about? How's the shirt? Cool image?

I saw the red vinyl version in stores today, but my preorder from MyPlayDirect has not even shipped yet?

Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated.

Nothing in my spam folder either, 1st place I checked.

No, I still have not received the mp3 download email....was that supposed to be a card in the album?

Thanks, I guess I'll keep it, it was only $11 and I do have the vinyl on the way. I just thought since I got the free download that came with the bundle, buying the CD was a little wasteful. Another reason is the deluxe CD comes with the 24 page booklet which I assume is the booklet that was included in the vinyl gatefold from Sweden.

Anyone hear the CD? Reports are that the sound is really bad? I bought the deluxe version with the 2 bonus songs, but now I'm thinking of returning it, not opening it and simply waiting for the vinyl to come in.

Where did you order from? Also, how does the LP sound. Others have claimed the CD is brick walled to shit, like the Metallica DM.
