  1. Nice. Didn't even know this was happening. Hope it hits US retailers soon.
  2. Listened to my copy from CT a few times. I think the album is okay overall. A few really good tracks. I think I'm losing interest in his sound since Life of Pause. I much prefer the jangly guitars from the Golden Haze EP and Gemini era. This new stuff sounds too polished to me.
  3. You can get those Ten Rapid RSD pressings from the EU for about $20 plus shipping. Loads of them on Discogs. Still haven't pulled the trigger on that yet for me though, have the CD.
  4. Looks like these titles are being repressed. Available on Bullmoose and Amazon with release date of 9/14/2018. Though, I don't think these titles were terribly difficult to track down from the EU and Canada.
  5. Ex-Machina score Mogwai - Atomic Mogwai, Trent Reznor, A. Ross - Before the Flood
  6. Discogs.com "notes section" per each specific release. Steve Hoffman forums. It's gonna take a bit of research for particular releases.
  7. I read that Bullmoose said this is a repress. Not rediscovered old stock.
  8. Maybe so. But you need to have all those titles lined up, negotiate the business side of it, remaster (some titles), deal with pressing plants (delays), etc. It is no small task.
  9. It's got to be a real struggle getting the rights to press these titles and pressing multiple exclusives month after month after month.
  10. Tempted to get that Grateful Dead 5xLP collection from RSD BF 2017 for $75 shipped.
  11. Might just be me, but I think I say this for about every NB exclusive release.
  12. I was under the impression the original stampers might be faulty.
  13. Received my copy. Side A is pressed off-center. My tonearm definitely has some side to side movement, creating a bit of pitch shifting. Side B is less off-center than A, not terrible and listenable. I'd say it is an improvement over my black copy, but that's not saying much. Haven't gotten to C and D yet. Using a Rega RP40. Edited: listened to sides C and D. Disc is slightly warped, but not off-center. Overall, pressing is okay. Definitely not floored by it. I give it a B-. An upgrade over my current black copy though.
  14. AKG K702s have limited bass unless you have a massive headphone amp. The soundstage is huge, but overall sound can be dry with fatiguing high end. Grados tend to run bright as well. Have a quirky design, but do sound very good. I've had the SR60, 80, and 225s. V-moda makes some really durable and portable closed back headphones. Might want to look into them as well. I also recommend the Sennheiser HD650s. Nice comfort level, open soundstage, good build quality, and just a lush midrange. Little rolled off on the highs and good bass output. Less listening fatigue overall relative to the AKG K702 and any Grado model.
  15. I'll sell my copy at cost after it arrives. Likely will be off-center and pressed like shit like the first pressing was. ;)
  16. What's really creepy is the light pink t shirt they're selling with the cover art on it. Ha ha.
  17. Might just be me, but that atrocious cover art is keeping me from purchasing the album. I just don't want to have that in my house. Never felt this way before. Ha ha.
  18. Might just be me, but autographs are so overrated. Couldn't care less.
