Thanks for the education! Of my all my reviews on discogs, how many are about surface noise? Seems like you just looked up my profile and read my recent review for Phoebe Bridgers Punisher, an album known to have issues.

FFS, that's not the issue. A capful of 99% iso in a basin of distilled water hasn't hurt anything in the 15 years I've been buying records. But apparently that's the issue here with this release, right? It's a shitty pressing from MPO, across all variants. See the poor reviews pile up online.

2nd copy of Mondo version arrived. Wet cleaned with water and isopropyl. Surface noise throughout album. Single channel distortion and farts during numerous songs. This 2nd copy is even more warped than my first copy. Such a bummer. Ill wash it a few more times and hope for the best.

Yeah, seems like a mixed bag. I've also heard from another person that their local record store warned them about buying the pressing because feedback from their customers consisted of complaints about surface noise. I hope you have better luck with your copies.

No. Looks at the discogs reviews.

"AMOEBA10" brings it down to $22.50 with free shipping.

Good to know. I reached out,to Mondo. Maybe I'll be able to swap my copy for a different one, if they have any left.

Yeah, I clean all my albums before I spin them. I have another similar variant, this marbled translucent style vinyl pressed at MPO, and it too is heavy on the surface noise. It's the Drive soundtrack on gold vinyl. Generally speaking, MPO is pretty good, I agree.

My Mondo copy of Her is pretty heavy on the surface noise. Constant light surface noise. I've wet cleaned the thing twice now, and no improvement. Also kinda warped and a big fat seam split across the top of the jacket. The record is pretty though. ha ha. How does everyone's copies sound? Do you have surface noise as well?

I just received a shipping notice as well.,seems strange they'd print the shipping label and wait 2 months to send it. Probably shipping them early? Fingers crossed.

Thought this was a May release

The Mobley and Blakey are up for preorder on Amazon right now. April 9 release date. Everything seems to be delayed a month. Also, these Classics are really popular. They are all selling out quickly. The Sidewinder is being repressed with a June 30th release date. I'll be buying almost all of them, many to replace the shitty BN75 pressings I have.

It's not retail, TTL is just selling the misprint. They probably have 25 copies, opened one, photographed it, and thought they were all clear.

Where did you see or hear this? Have a link? Thanks!

Sold out in like 5 minutes.
