I will be at webster hall on Saturday. I will try to grab some extra's!! 

Hmm, the Underworld Soundtrack was pretty good...

No it wasn't hard but I also don't need to explain myself or what I do for work/profession to someone I've never met for the sake of just trying to give people a heads up on maybe seeing some preorders soon. Least you could say is a fucking thank you but I guess your parents raised you without manners, ask them your self when you pay money to see them. you're welcome. 

Cassette edition coming from Psychic Violence sometime after the CD edition. 

No, it isn't rare at all. You should sell it to me for $30.

I'm friends with a member of The Faceless, he has another band that I'm also really good friends with all the members, in fact my name is on their thank you credits for their newest album, I work at a venue that the faceless play at usually when they hit the Bay Area and I've also printed merch for The Faceless on several occasions. Not tooting my own horn but I know people in this business. So I hear things. There.

Other than it's still not happening?

Does it matter?

It's the double edged sword of the format really.
The actual physical playing of a record and it's surrounding environment can change so many things.

Vinyl noise is almost always in some sort of surface contamination on any record. More often than not it is minuscule dust particles that are the culprit, on the record or stylus. A good cleaning will resolve a lot of that, however even the cleanest record can have surface noise that is noticeable in the lower end of it's dynamic moments, especially repetitive ones (your ear will notice subtle changes). This is why we try not to manufacture "Hazed" releases, as the process itself leaves so much surface dust/sand on a record, it isn't worth it from an audiophile perspective.

Comparing vinyl colors in terms of "sound" isn't really something that will yield results based on color. Again, the X factor is always dust and contamination. Every time you take a record out of a sleeve, static brings particles to it. You'll never be able to run a proper test unless you were in a dust free NASA lab. Comparing a Test Press to the last record pressed of a 100k press would be an interesting experiment though. None of us press those sort of numbers though to do that. Plates don't deteriorate as they once did in the 70's and 80's, as we aren't pressing huge amount of records w/ the same plates in use. Plates are generally remade if they are lost, broken, or a release is moved to a new manufacturing facility.

I can't speak for other labels, but we are strict w/ our Test Pressings in terms of quality. If we notice any abnormalities, they won't make it to press w/ any record.
Hope this gives some folks insight into some things when it comes to vinyl. Thanks.

Hahahahaa seriously dude I did the same, I listened to mine once and shelved it, when I started selling a few things from my collection I wondered what it was going for, seen then instantly listed it. I was kinda shocked

Consider it yours

Absolutely nothing requires an SRC edition. 

Any chance we will see a From First To Last pressing of Dear Diary? Seems like something HT would do/make money off of 

They went all out with this new pressing, 3 variants for each and a black standard. FYE exclusives limited to 1000 each.

Usually I use a knife, but instead of opening the record I insert it into my heart and die.
