Anyone know when this comes out? Pre-ordered back in march. Havent seen any updates.

Ps. Glad I could stir the pot.

 

Not as much as I did to the other thread that got locked! Whoop di doodles!

I don't know how much of this can be attributed to groovewear, but the copy I briefly owned sounded like absolute garbage - it was misgraded by a Discogs seller who "only played it once", neglected to mention it was on a Crosley though. So there was a moderate amount of persistent surface noise, and underneath that the audio was quite distorted.

If that distortion is not inherent in the cut itself, then you will be hard pressed to find a copy of the original without it unless it is sealed. It seems that nearly every person who owns this record owns a Crosley as well, if any tumblr/instagram picture I've ever seen of this record is any indication, or going based on people I know who own it.

Unless specific details about the remastering process are given I wouldn't expect this to sound any better or worse. Not that it really could sound much worse. That said, it's easier to take a $40 chance than a $400 chance.

I understand your concerns, but this is far from an audiophile recording. If you're expecting to be blown away and amazed by hearing this on wax, don't.

 

Thank you I highly appreciate the information and the intelligence in your post. Of course im not expecting and audiophile recording from this release but I sure would hate after all this time waiting for a repress to pick it up and it sounds like triple crowns pressing of the devil and god.....dull and lifeless. 

And there you go again...you just come off as a snotty, holier than thou, asshole. You're acting like you're the only person who cares about how something sounds and that everyone else just "wants all the colors."

Just a suggestion, maybe read what you write for tone before you post, dude. Then people won't jump down your throat for spewing garbage everywhere.

In your first post you "only want to hear from people with this specific sort of setup, the rest of you trash don't matter."

And now, "you guys don't care about the music, you're a bunch of poseurs who just collect for color pressings."

That's the way you're coming off here.

So...how about you just fuck right off?

And yes, this is a stupid thread about a record that isn't even that great, but you're still an ass.

 

The amount of words that your are putting in my mouth is ridiculous. Almost every sentence. Then telling me to "fuck right off" dude why are you so butthurt? Did you even read what I wrote? I even said i seek out some records for certain variants. Not all the time albeit.

 

Why dont you re read my post and tell me how im being an asshole? Because honestly I think its you sir who is the one coming off as one.

We can, we just can't handle people who go off the handle for no reason. No one cares about your opinion of this record.

There is a whole area for complaining about nothing. So go post it there.

Your elitist attitude is bummin the vibe,

Man.

 

 

hey......":man" your reading comprehension is terrible. I wasn't giving an opinion of the record I was asking if anyone who owns a pressing what the sound quality is like and that's all. As far as complaining I think its totally fair to be upset about the high prices we pay for records for some of them to come out sounding like shit due to bad mastering or coming from a shitty source. Also as far as my "elitist attitude" bumming the vibe im pretty sure this whole thread is bumming everyone's vibe how many pages and how much of it has to do with the actual record. Like a couple sentences worth of info?

 

Sorry if I was trying to add a little info and discussion into this "discussion group" man.

 

Im not trying to pick a fight with anyone I was just trying to have a conversation where we could maybe get some useful information. But it seems clear since ive been here the past couple years is that nobody really cares about how good or bad the pressing sounds on a modern record. They care about what color the record comes on, how many variants, and how they can get the variant with the lowest amount of pressings. Either that or how can I get every color the record was pressed on. Which i understand collectors. Everyone has their own copies. Hell even I seek out some varients for the look of them but what it really comes down to is does this record sound good or did I just waste money on a vinyl that was pressed up without any care given to the sound quality of it.

 

Shits upsetting. 

 

I just hope triple crown at least has the mind to re-cut this record because ive heard from some sources that the original press doesnt sound all that great and for the prices they go for.....it just seems a little crazy.

"I'm only interested in people with a really good hifi system."

"im going to buy Deja"

Clearly you didn't read my whole post. i just went ahead and deleted it. You guys clearly cant handle a serious discussion. 

Interested in viet cong

Does anyone know where to find a copy? Seem sold out everywhere. Don't want white as someone said it's noisy. Anyone want to give up their black if they're waiting for a white?

If you're reading then you know what this is! Sealed copy of the super deluxe 4x12 LP. Comes with the signed poster as well. Please pm me if interested. Am looking to get an average price of what they are going for on ebay. Will add pictures later.

Just got the email saying they couldn't process my payment and therefore automatically cancelled my order. Oh well, guess they did me a favor. Fuck the poster, I'll save a few bucks and order it via Amazon Prime. What a joke this preorder has been. Lesson learned. Avoid MPD like the plague.

 

Did anyone figure out why some of ours couldn't be processed? Saying there wasn't enough funds, something along those lines? I have more than enough money in my account for the transaction to go through but for some reason it didn't process. 

 

Ended up ordering through amazon and just got it today! Kinda wanted the poster but am glad that they canceled my order. Screw them. I feel for anyone who still hasn't received theirs.

I also got an email saying payment declined from MPD. Anyone know what the deal is? I should have just canceled this and went with amazon in the first place. Wanted the poster but now I could care less.

Is nobody pissed daylight keeps pushing back the ship date for the 4x12's?

Was kinda hoping this would be out before halloween. Somehow doubtful now.

Just got two of the deluxe vinyl packages. Also for the people complaining the $26 dollar vinyl is a package with a signed poster and sticker sheet. I do have to agree shipping is super expensive. 

Got mine today. I dont know what you guys are talking about the orange is cool as fuck! 

Amazon was the cheapest way to go for the Past is Prologue preorder (if shipping and what not was factored in).  Might be the case for this too.  I'm going to order from them and cancel it if Ghostly puts up something enticing (deluxe edition or a variant).

 

LOL same

jesus still waiting on mine. Wondering if its even gunna come at this point. What carrier delivered it for the people that got it?

I"ll check right now..

 

ah yes, there are etchings!  fancy that.. gsl-c.. so maybe these are from legit plates?

 

got my 3 copies today, listening now and it sounds great, gonna go out on a limb and say better than the og.  someone went to a lot of trouble with these boots.. probably the highest quality unofficial presses I have seen lately!

 

thinking of selling my og if the rest sounds as good.

What are you gunna do with your other 2 copies? Ill take one if youre in the USA,

I may have to make an exception if The Movielife repress or Deja repress drop during this timeframe, but that's it! Good luck to you!

 

 Just curious what makes you think deja is going to be repressed let alone first quarter 2014?

just ordered a blue,how long did it take to get to the states? Im in cali.

Shipped on the 17th still havent got mine. Could take up to 24 days im told.

so glad i didnt order then

lame i want one. Actually i might even deserve one lol.

Just bought a copy! 12:01pm!

Was gunna buy the EP cause the cover was drawn by charlie immer but after looking on ebay and seeing its a plastic slipcase with a folded inner sleeve i got really bummed out. Followed by the fact that I cant find a copy and ebay prices are all over the board but still GROSSLY overpriced. Anyone else bummed out or are we all used to overpaying for sub quality releases? 

Yup, my blue version went out today along with my copy of Graduation.

Same! Now if i only knew how long it will aprox take to get here,
