  1. From the runout information I just found on Discogs this was pressed at Rainbo Pressing. I hope everybody will receive a decent pressing quality. Rainbo is infamous for subpar pressings unfortunately.

    I also noticed there is a barcode printed on the back. Just speculating here but could it indicate a wider commercial release at some point in the future? Why would they need it for an exclusive self-distributed release? On the other hand their 2017 pressings had a printed barcode as well. Any thoughts on that?

    When does Discogs update the stats?

     

    I “believe” I am the first person who bought the single LP Classic Clarity pressing of PG3 on there, and it is still being shown as “never” in the stats. 

    Selling stats are being updated as soon as the seller paid the monthly invoice with the selling fees regarding your purchase.

    More details here  or here

    my test press came today. i think they did a good job with remastering this. i was a bit hesitant to think their remaster was gonna sound much different from the originals, but call me pleasantly surprised on how clear and new sounding things are. the pressing is dead silent as well.  so glad i was able to end up with a TP from one of my all time favorite bands all due to people posting in this thread!

    From what I know the audio was not remastered. Of course it is a new cut with new stampers though. I agree it does sound pretty good and clear.

  4. Contact Ameise from Hamburg, Germany. You have to do some work for that though. They do runs of 50 copies - or used to do at least. Good luck!

    My brave vinyl lovers! ameise is not able to answer all the questions that come up online here and on other channels...we would really love to get in touch with all you underground people out there, but we are afraid that the only way to get in touch with us is Martins secret cellphone number that you will get from other bands and artist worldwide...it should be easy to find out with a few clicks and once we are in touch we will offer out the best pricing and quality right from the heart of europe! big up you crazy freaks!

    Edit: Also read the notes on discogs. The comments say at least one of these are very quiet/not great presses.

     

    I have wondered, why is quiet even a problem? Can't you just pump up the volume if you have great speakers/receiver?

     

    I did see that review and didn't worry about for that reason and the overall rating is amazing for the pressing.

    Low volume can be a problem because of the noise floor that vinyl naturally brings with it , i.e. if the music volume is too low, you will hear more vinyl surface noise than music.

    Regarding your orders:

    I once had the German pressing of 3 Feet High And Rising. Despite of the album's length, the sound was totally fine. That copy was quite worn from playing though. Obviously the cutting engineers back in the day knew how to cut difficult stuff properly. Unfortunately a lot of that knowledge got lost.

    Same here. @Iggy_Pilot, has there been any word of a superior/inferior pressing?

    Thank you!

    No, no knowledge of superior/inferior pressings yet. The combination of pressings, lacquer cuts and matrix numbers are confusing for this release though. There are three different combinations around so far.

    I wouldn't want to go into detail without being asked. The differences can be found on the Discogs submissions easily:

    First pressing:

    Free vinyl which came with first pressing:

    Second pressing:
