so who won the erfo

I tried, didn't get it. It jumped over 50 bucks in final 3 seconds. Only 3 people bid.

200. because it owns and no one sells it. also it is from a small band in a small town in a small country

I had wondered if some had gone missing.

What's the story with erfo? Weren't 300 pressed? Why is it so hard to come by?

Yup, he messaged me too on Discogs and encouraged me to bid.

Love this album, does anyone own a test press? I've been trying to find one.

As everyone else has said, the US variants suck. 180g would be nice to listen to, but white sucks. Went with the splatter.

Bump

I've been to second avenue and really liked it. Thanks for the recommendation about Exiled! You're more than welcome to meet up with us too. I'll be down there from Thursday to Sunday.

Lots of PDX people on here. BTW, second the Exiled recommendation. Great little shop!

Saw it, I'm actually looking for the TP from the Sheath's double LP

Looking to pick up a copy of this, anyone have one they would like to unload?

Looking for some of the more rare Giants pressings.  Would love to pay $$$ or if anything on my list interests you, let me know.

Wow, what a huge fail from amazon (or rather a marketplace seller?). Sorry to hear, pal.

Don't really think this'll help but at least you got a decent sounding record out of this,

because from what I've heard on my friend's setup, the repress sounds like total crap. Especially the B side.

I was quite baffled actually. Additionally since current impressions vary so much, cause from what I've heard,

it seems that this will be my worst sounding record so far. (only listened to his copy, haven't spun mine yet).

Well anyway, this won't help you really if it's just for collecting purposes, I guess.

 

I just checked amazon.de, seems like hhv's amazon marketplace shop has three in stock. For 34,29€ though... yikes.

What is your setup?  Mine has a little bit of surface noise, but sounds excellent overall. The B side in particular.

Where'd the wall shelves come from? I'd like something like that.

It's an IKEA Kallax and I built the backing and spacers myself.

EDIT: Oops sorry, didn't read that right.  Those shelves are also IKEA and like 12 bucks a pop.

Are those Wheel of Time books in the leftmost cubby?

Sure are! They are the lady friend's as she still gets some of the shelving for now.

Just finished a DIY project with my IKEA Kallax bookshelf.

So I just got my copy today, it either is leftovers from the first pressing or they duplicated everything. Barcode, matrix runout, everything.

The sound is mostly good, but not deadly silent. Some crackles and pops...

I received my first shipment from Music Matters a few days ago. While I haven't had a chance to give the records a spin yet, I can comment on the packaging, both product and shipping wise. The jackets are immaculate, and the photos used add a really cool touch. I was impressed they shipped the records in a basic sleeve outside of the gatefold jacket. There was a lot of detail attention paid to these reissues, and I have no doubt that carries over to the sound quality, too. For anyone considering their subscription, I strongly recommend it. For $80/4-6 weeks you receive two reissues. The records are priced at $34.95 + $5 medial mail shipping. 

Yeah, they are fantastic.  Every single one has been one of the best pressings I have listened too.

I have Maiden Voyage, Midnight Blue and The Big Beat all on the way.

I'll take both. PM'd

On the bright side with the cle....I mean black. It sounds terrific. A playing copy for sure.

That's how most haze are. Give it a decent cleaning and it should take care of it.

Same. I have a lot of haze...nothing like this...it's bad.

So I got all 3 variants today...

The red haze has sand or vinyl or dust all over it. Gritty.

The half black/clear A/B is uhh...black

My store ordered it and didn't get any. Oh well. I did end up with Clutch and Foo Fighters - Songs from the laundry room. Was hoping for White Stripes too, but he didn't get it.

Oh and...

Entered a contest for a Pro-ject Debut Carbon and WON.

F yeah!

So I got some more insight on these today, both these titles will be a Mass Released Repress, this means most major record stores/amazon & everyone else in between will have these, I cancelled my elusive disc order after I found that one out..

Who cares if it sounds good?

You cant go wrong. I love original stereo Blue Note pressings, and have several original mono pressings (when my wallet can afford it), the Music Matters are the best I've ever heard. Some of the best jazz vinyl I've ever heard, period. I'm fascinated to see how much they are worth in 50 years.

Are there any pressing numbers on them?

Ok, I feel stupid. I only see black, white and clear.
