Any VC members from Melbourne around?

Ive come to the stage where I need a new needle and was thinking of upgrading to the 2M red or shure.....im really not comfortable with changing it out myself. Anyone know of a good store that can help?

Tried google, was just seeking personal experience

These guys were good to me when I was starting out.  I bought a 2M red from there and I took my table down and they threw it on for nothing when I knew nothing about balancing a tonearm, setting the anti skate and all that.

This is the new 2013 re-release.  I haven't seen any conversations where it's been determined if it's using the 20th anniversary remaster or using the ORG plates or whatever.  The 20th anniversary master wasn't made widely available on single LP (outside of a UK retailer exclusive, according to Discogs).  Maybe check the deadwax for some mastering engineer's initials, or any other markings in common with the 20th ann. remaster.  I only have a German original and early 2000's '320' however so someone else will have to jump in with comparison markings.

FYI, you can search Amazon by UPC

Had to pull the trigger though I really wish this was Core instead. One of these days....

A MOV release of Core will follow apparently, have no date info though.

Has anyone else not received their PO bundle yet? The record came out tuesday and I still haven't even received a shipping notice yet.

No notification for me, and I don't think there's anywhere on that site to log in and check status of your order either?

Any Aussie fans, Sony brought in some stock and shipped it to stores last week.  I got my copy and it was an RTI pressing and numbered in the one hundreds (must be RSD pressing stock?)  Should be reasonably priced too.

Being in Australia, was lucky to get Botch (only one in the store) and Cave In (3-4 in the store), both being the coloured variants.

Also got Deftones, No Alternative (day after from a record fair), and JEW 7" and White Stripes on the way in the mail via a UK connection, though White Stripes ended up being available here anyway.  Missed out on Soundgarden, I'm thinking the EU pressings weren't ready in time as no one had it and haven't seen any black vinyl pics online yet.

Anyone else opened/played their army green AN and the first LP has two side B labels?

presumably you are American and I am not, so would be cost prohibitive to ship this to you but if all else fails I may part with this item.

Don't a lot of people have problems with these pressings? I remember them selling cheap for a while and passing, thinking that's what I'd heard. Or am I misremembering?

I think I only listened to one of them, the picture disc maybe, and it had 2 second gaps between the tracks which broke up the segued track 1-2.  So this was pressed from a badly burned CD-R or something?  Hadn't ever gotten round to playing the others.  Wouldn't be surprised at the amount of small pressing outfits who create LP masters from redbook CD and are never actually given hi-res files by the label.

AFAIK this is Alliance/AEC's clearance/overstock store.  Distro's will know who they are - one of the biggest one stop's in the US.  Pretty sure they should have it all in stock.

Apparently Music On Vinyl (MOV) are going to be doing these early 2013, so they will definitely be 180g LPs if that's your thing.

Also... One Fierce Beer Coaster... but that's for another thread I guess.

Is the Bleed American single LP available somewhere for cheaper than $30? I'd love to have it, but the extras are unnecessary to me. I just want a cheap version.

<threadcrap>There seems to be a few EU reissues being done on the same day, maybe someone dug up a random selection of old pressing plates?

My order placed with credit card (not Paypal) shows as status On Hold. I can't find what their order statuses mean on their site. Does anybody else who paid the same way have this status, before I bug them about it?

hah obvious info is obvious.. thank you for that. I guess I won't know what pressing it is seeing as every round has a black version.

I have a black pressing of this with the regular pink/green labels. Anyone have any idea where this pressing slots in? The only black one on discogs/deadformat is the first pressing black label 180g.

I got my purple from a US one-stop supplier.

100 purple marble

200 white

200 clear

??? black

Based on not a lot apart from the fact I went through 3 or 4 copies of the purple marble (from the same distro) and still couldn't find one that wouldn't skip in the same spot on side 2, that number of 100 pressed is either too low, or there's now only 97/98 around due to the skipping ones being trashed as faulty.

Anyone else's copies on any colour having skipping issues on side 2?
