Maybe the song or the 12" Frances the Mute will be included this time making it one of the selling points? Judging from Cloud Hills' release policy it would not surprise me to see even a new 3LP reissue of that album with the track included instead of the etching...

I don't understand it at all, personally. They reissued You Fail Me Redux on the cloudy clear and people are already mixing up it with the F&F listing so much that the F&F listing on Discogs is overrun by them.
Is it the same matrix? They might assume people would be smart enough to find the actual differences? Oh well...

...and furthermore, does anyone here have word about how the originals sound? I know they're crammed to one disc, that's why I'm curious
I own the German pressing. The mastering is fantastic. Very dynamic, depth and a great soundstage. Very recommended.

Nah. Pretty common misconception among hobby newbies and pandemic collectors. All plants have varying quality, good and bad. VMP have been using GZ almost exclusively for their ROTMs – for several months now – and they are absolutely killing it. I’ve heard that the latest Frank Ocean Blonde repress was pressed at GZ, too, and sounds phenomenal. “GZ = bad” is a pretty dated meme that doesn’t hold much water these days. They just press a way bigger volume of records, which results in a bigger volume of notably bad (and notably good) records compared to other labels.
You seem to be talking about pressing quality. GZ Media has improved on that a lot over the last 4-5 years. They can press good records. See Tool - Fear Inoculum.
I was discussing their in-house cuts though. Without any instructions by the label (like VMP) the cuts are made to avoid claims. Tool - Fear Inoculum was not cut by them by the way.

Factually incorrect on all accounts.
It is widely known GZ Media tends to master and cut for the lowest common denominator to avoid playback issues on cheap turntables. So their cuts do not present the material to its full extent.

Can anybody tell me how good or bad are the most recent Botch represses? I'm very very skeptical of continuing buying stuff from Sargent House, last two albums I bought from them (ERR - Marked for Death repress and Engine of Hell) are super noisy (far far worse than what you can expect from most records).
We are the Romans was cut in-house and pressed at GZ Media. You cannot expect a good, loud or even dynamic cut from them unfortunately. Sounds lifeless and compressed as most of their cuts. No issues with pressing flaws (e.g. non-fill or stitching) with my copy though.

I was thinking about cancelling my order but it is being shipped from Evil Greed now. I could reject the package but something deep inside of me wants to believe in a sort of delayed gratification for this. Didn't Nine Inch Nails sent special records to fans who ordered from them before? Maybe buyers will receive something special at a later time? I am just hoping because I am totally NOT into ambient or drone records at all... I mean this was 47 € incl. shipping. Pretty hefty price tag for being trolled...🤣

Got mine in. There’s definitely a triple groove with new music. Just try it enough times. Took me about an hour max.
Can't tell if you are joking or not...

Yeah I think you're right. Gotta just assume the people on Reddit were mega dumb then.
Which Reddit thread is that, please? Would like to read it. Thanks!

That is 100% a lathe cut thank you. There were multiple people saying it was a completely smooth disc, I really want to assume they're that stupid but lathe records are already flat with no grooves before being cut so it makes sense that they could have somehow got an actually blank copy.
I don't think it is a lathe cut. The center labels have pressing rings and a deeper stamper "indentation" (cannot remember what the actual term is). I see a longer runout etching in these pics. I don't think somebody would do that on 1000 copies manually.
Edit:
Preorder description says "produced at Studio 4 Vinyl." .They are not offering lathe cuts from what I can see.

Are there any updates about the release date yet? PO said "Expected from the manufacturer in November, vinyl will ship soon after."

I mean I put the link right up there, reading is hard I guess. 🤷♂️
I didn't notice the link was for a blog post but thought it was for the video by just looking at the title of the URL. That's why I did not open it. Rather reading too much was the problem here, I guess?

- Ruby marbled vinyl (Kings Road/Metal Blade Europe exclusive – limited to 500 copies) (on their website it says 200 though)
Just being curious: what's the source for the /500, please?
-
It exists. I had it in my hands the other day at a record fair for 25 €. I was in doubt about it and I do not buy counterfeit releases.
It was a sealed copy and the OBI strip said it was orange colored. The seller told me he got it from "a guy he knows" which was no official distribution channel.
There is a Discogs entry for a black edition. I could not find the barcode or the label's catalog no. on any official sources on the web though.
Runouts have (probably faked) Optimal Media matrix codes (BL4157201 A1 / BL4157201 B2) as well as a (well-faked imitation of) Chris Bellman's "CB" signature on the runout. Check the images on the Discogs entry below.
On the release history and in the reviews a user states "it is unofficial edition, i contacted the Label for info... and confirmed THAT! it is Unofficial edition not produced by them...." https://www.discogs.com/release/20567197-Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age-Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age
It just seems it is a very well-made counterfeit release.

Hard to tell without a better shot of the description in the upper right corner, but it the special editions came with the custom resealable mylar polybags. I see that one is a /100 and a "butterfly", so it might be this, or maybe they released a tour exclusive special edition that is similar to it.
I think the hype sticker on that shot says:
"Royal Blue and Milky Clear Butterfly effect with Splatter Edition"
The barcode matches the with your Discogs link, too. I think every variant has a unique barcode. So it is that variant probably.

Any news on a repress of Glow On? Green Hell Records (Germany) has it up for pre-order (release: December 3rd), but no info on the color of the vinyl. They sell it for € 34,90, which is significantly more expensive than the original PO...
Regular retail price for the white first pressing was the same.
A couple slightly cheaper options are (both list December as well):

I wouldn't be surprised if people are waiting for the vinyl pipeline to clear up a little before before a repress. Considering shit in general is being delayed until 2022 I wouldn't be surprised if the repress isn't seen until like next summer
German shop Green Hell is announcing a repress for December 2021.

My main question for other people with the picture disc/zoetrope editions: Are these plastic sleeves that hold the picture discs gonna hurt the record?
Reason I ask is I bought a copy of Glassjaw's Worship and Tribute on white vinyl a few years ago and it was also housed in a similar see thru sleeve but i dont know if it was the same type of plastic?
Always remove records from these sleeves permanently. Usually such sleeves are made of PVC which causes "outgassing". It will leave foggy markings on the record.

Got my pink today. Sounds good, but seems quiet? All the chill parts between songs are almost inaudible at the volumes I normally listen at.
It was cut in-house at GZ Media. Their cuts are always on the quiet side which sucks the life/enjoyment out of the records unfortunately.

Put out by Craft Recordings, so that sounds promising. They had the black but sold out also.
Craft Recording also put out Automatic for the people 25th anniversary. To me the E.U. pressing of it sounds terrible and I compared it to an OG pressing. Very lifeless and compressed unfortunately. I am talking about this one: https://www.discogs.com/REM-Automatic-For-The-People/release/11115961
They might have learned a lesson from it though and will not use GZ Media again.

I'd be interested in a copy, too.

PO: Quicksand - Manic Compression LP Repress

May I ask you for the info from the matrix/runout, please? Would be very interesting where this was cut/pressed.
