They also increased the pitch, turned down the guitar and increased the volume on the vocals. It's a fantastically made record though, but they seem to have remastered it for pop music fans.

I was looking for a cheap copy. Got it yesterday £7.95 unplayed NM including shipping. Bump schmump it's more relevant than ever now given its perceived limited nature and the fact its everywhere.

Not strictly true. Most Discogs sellers also sell on Amazon and Ebay. Discogs uses the Goldmine standard which is very strict. Most users abide by this grading, however many "interpret" the guidelines for personal gain rather than representing exactly what the record grading is. There are a whole host of sellers there who use the mint grading for all their stock and cause no end of controversy. Discogs is better than Ebay in my view, but the difference is the feedback system, if you get neg fb and it's retaliatory Discogs are very adept at sorting things out. For sellers its more balanced that Ebay (Ebay is very buyer-centric). I love Discogs but it is not without its problems.

...and you can still pick this up for less than £10 almost anywhere.

Awful remaster, nice virgin vinyl. Original 1992 version is better even though it is missing two or three tracks.

If you're looking for a budget cart for the pro-jects, the blue ortofon 2m is a bit much, consider the red and also the goldring 2100 both retail for £120 but sdhop around and both are available on sale for around £70 which is a bargain for both.

Domino gives you a download of the album for free. Does Amazon do the same thing? Yes. The card with download code is inside the sleeve - so in addition to my earlier answer...wahay. I got two copies. One is still sealed, the other is for me to play with. Just added pics to the dicsogs entry for the the album: http://www.discogs.com/Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age-Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age/release/2753377 Awesome album. Far better than the mans ruin version.

Got my two QOTSA remaster LP's through this morning.

As recomended just one post earlier and also used by quite a few of the people who have said so in this thread the Cambridge Audio 640p is fantastic and has low price with big sound.

Get a pre amp for it. Easy solution.
