Yes, I know where to find it if I want to pay more. I do not.

I am, which is how most people hear it. The vinyl version is definitely more listenable thanks to Bellman.
 
The digital version has dynamic range of 4, which is lunacy, while the vinyl is 10.

I have to imagine that in order to license it, we'd have to end up selling at least a few hundred to break even, and that's just not expected. And hopeless definitely won't do it on their own.  Believe me, it's all been talked about several times. If they ever resurrect, it will be talked about again.

I started a topic in the sale/trade thread, but just so all interested parties here are aware:
 
It appears the internet believes that Kaddisfly's independent debut 'Did You Know People Can Fly?' is out of print and worth asking $30-$50 for. This is untrue, as I have boxes of them in my basement.
 
I was their tour manager and all around 6th man for years, and I am currently in a band with guitarist Aaron Tollefson (UMBRELLAMAN), and all the leftover merch we had after they entered their hiatus has been in our house for years. There are CD copies of their Hopeless albums, as well as some shirts. But the Did You Know CDs are now available on discogs for $8 - https://www.discogs.com/Kaddisfly-Did-You-Know-People-Can-Fly/release/2728318
 
You can also email me - [email protected] if you have a shirt size you're interested in or other CDs you want to add and we'll work it out.
 
Just wanted to let anyone here know who might be interested, as the album is apparently hard to find now.
 
Cheers,

Dan

Finally got this in hand. Previous poster was right in that it is slightly quieter than most, I turned my master volume up about a notch higher than usual. But, in this case it's a great thing. It's clear there isn't a whole lot of dynamic compression, and no crazy gain limiting. The drums are very punchy, surprisingly so at times. Wide sound stage. Thick in all the right places.
 
'It's been a lot of fun rebuilding this record at Abbey Road from the unlabelled original tapes. Frank Arkright has done a wonderful job. We hope you can hear the new found air, space and definition in this new version. Not to mention the BALLS.' -  Nailed it.
 

 
Especially for how affordable this was, it's a very satisfying purchase. I hope we see this done to subsequent albums, of which I still don't have any on vinyl.

816715020505 is on the sticker on the shrink of my purple/purple splatter copy, different code on the jacket.

It's certainly something in the cutting process, but I have many records pressed there that sound great, and certainly no worse than their digital counterpart. I haven't found sound quality to be a regular issue with GZ. I'm usually quite pleased. But it sounds like there was even more gain reduction applied and too much of a high frequency roll off on this one. 

I used to own this ... true story.

Good lord. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

@TGSNick the reissue of 'Fahrenheit' is really great. Any plans for 'A Map of What is Effortless' through Ghostly? 

Pre-ordered Sea Change from Amazon just the other day, received it today.
 
I owned the MoFi pressing and it was truly fantastic. Warm, very dynamic, everything you could hope for. It became so valuable I couldn't not sell it, knowing that eventually there would be another pressing.
 
This is good. Pressed at Pallas USA, cut at Golden. Not as all encompassing as the MoFi, but good, especially for $22-25. I'm assuming one of the high res digital masters was used. This record is excellently produced and mixed, and there really isn't a bad version of it out there. Great soundstage is intact on this pressing, and I didn't have to touch my EQ knobs.
 
Some reports of non-fill issues, not a good thing for an album with such quiet passages. I did hear some on Side C, especially during Round the Bend which got more annoying the more I heard it. The plain paper sleeves are pretty crappy, the gatefold jacket is standard fare. But again, a very acceptable edition and I'm glad it's finally available again. And it also comes with a download code with the option of 24/96 WAV files. Very nice, even though they are even louder than the original CD version for some reason.

Holy shit. The shark has been jumped. 
 

I'm not quite sure why people are concerned about shipping prices and not the cost of the record itself. Vinyl records are not more expensive to produce than they were a few years ago. $28 should not be acceptable.

Came across the /500  brown and decided to go for it. Better than expected, thankfully. Even though everything is very much pushed forward, there seems to be more space to identify things than I would have figured. Drums aren't completely dulled.
 
Regardless, album is heavy as shit and they are awesome as ever.
