  1. 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.

  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. ...and you can still pick this up for less than £10 almost anywhere.
  6. Awful remaster, nice virgin vinyl. Original 1992 version is better even though it is missing two or three tracks.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Got my two QOTSA remaster LP's through this morning.
  10. http://www.discogs.com/Black-Keys-The-Big-Come-Up/release/1753239 - Clear vinyl. http://www.discogs.com/Black-Keys-The-Big-Come-Up/release/1766994 - Green vinyl. http://www.discogs.com/Black-Keys-The-Big-Come-Up/release/1872741 - 180grm black reissue. http://www.discogs.com/Black-Keys-The-Big-Come-Up/release/2448042 - Blue reissue. http://www.discogs.com/Black-Keys-The-Big-Come-Up/release/1893822 - Orange reissue. http://www.discogs.com/Black-Keys-The-Big-Come-Up/release/409793 - White. http://www.discogs.com/Black-Keys-The-Big-Come-Up/release/1629125 - Yellow. http://www.discogs.com/Black-Keys-The-Big-Come-Up/release/2639256 - LP with DVD. Some further info on the above.
  11. 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.
  12. Try it if it has a photo stage. If it doesn't, but a pre amp like the Cambridge Audio 640p (which is really cheap) and use another stage instead. As I wrote yesterday, my amp is a digital av amp (Onkyo 506) which has no phono stage, but with the CA 640p it sounds lovely.
  13. Gruff Rhys - Sensations In the Dark - UK, 12" single. Eagles of Death Metal - Heart On - US, LP & Bonus & 7". Faith No More - Ashes To Ashes - 2 track French Promo cd. Faith no More - I'm Easy / Be Aggressive - French cd single. The Pixies - Wave Of Mutilation - US, Double LP Various - Judgment Night Soundtrack - 4 Track 12" US promo. Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse - Dark Night Of The Soul - Promo LP. I've also pre-ordered two copies of the new QOTSA Remastered LP.
  14. I have no complaint with my setup. Considered budget (you want to see budfget you should have seen my previous two setups!!) but I love it. Rega Planar 3 (P3) upgraded from the standard BIAS cartridge to the Exact with marked improvements in sound. I love the Rega P3. I love the glass platter and how it helps reduce vibration and I love how simple the design is. I'm using this through an Onkyo digital amp with the Cambridge Audio budget pre-amp (640p) which is absolutely phenominal for the price point. Speaker wise I'm utilising a pair of Mordundt Short Diamond 9.1's for standard stereo, though I think my previous JPW 510 Millenium's opened up the dynamism of the vinyl sound far better than the Diamonds which tend to reign stuff in...they sound a tiny bit more professional and controlled - great for a lot of dance and classical but not so good for dirty rock (compared to the Milleniums). I'm using an Epos ELS Sub then to control the bass which is terrific.
  15. It probably won't have the codes, but check this out. What you get and the price: Domino UK: Queens Of The Stone Age LP + Codes for MP3 downloads £20 Shipping to UK £4.35 Total UK: £24.35 Amazon.co.uk Queens of the Stone Age LP + Codes for MP3 £14.99 Shipping to UK - Free. Queens of the Stone Ramaster CD £8.99 seperately and you can rip it yourself in whatever form you wish to the bitrate you want etc...and you've got another physical item. Shipping Free. Total = £23.98 Domino USA Queens Of The Stone Age LP + Codes for MP3 downloads $21.00 Shipping to UK $6.50 Total UK: £27.50 Amazon.com (USA) Queens of the Stone Age Lp + Codes for MP3 $18.42 Shipping to US - Free. Queens of the Stone Remaster CD $11.65 seperately and you can rip it yourself in whatever form you wish to the bitrate you want etc...and you've got another physical item. Shipping Free. Total = $29.97 Great value way of doing things if you're in the UK and given that it's only marginally more expensive to get CD and LP from amazon.com as a US customer, the lure of the cd instead of codes for just $2-$3 more is irresistible. I don't mean to sound like an Amazon advert, I'm just a thrifty bastard.
  16. I honestly love this band, but there is no reason for this single to exist, especially given the repress of the s/t LP. The album has been remastered and both tracks on the 7" are the remastered versions. The album is available to rpe-order on Dominos for £20 but Amazon have it for £14.99 inc free shipping.
