Maybe specific Amazon warehouses? My purchases from Amazon were mostly good with the occasional dish. My bet is on bad QC at the plants. They are slammed and today’s thicker vinyl needs more time to cool and it doesn’t always get that time, but who knows? Another thought is vinyl has always had problems. Warps, surface noise, wear. They always have, and always will be a part of being a vinyl user. Sounds like you are just getting unlucky.

The Hot Stuff appears to have extra vinyl, but that tour book from the LV release sounds awesome, too. I have a red smoke Prequelle (LV pressing) and i don’t remember any issues with it. I haven’t listened to it in a long time though.

Both sets have some cool stuff the other doesn’t.

Good price. A purchase I just made from DD took forever to ship but it was packed very well and arrived in perfect shape.

No problem. I’m not really concerned about it. It was cool to hear a different cut of the album. It’s funny how some slight EQ changes can give a different perspective to the sound. This cut can be cranked!

ROG didn’t ship my Bloody Kisses by release day so I’m asking to cancel. It’s pretty lame when a local store has them in stock but the label webstore doesn’t ship by release day. The 2LP stand alone BK appears to be the same color as the RSD 3LP. It would have been nice to have a different color, but not a huge deal. As stated on the ROG site, it is the exact same cut as the RSD 3LP, so it sounds great. I hope they recut all the albums with the same quality for the NMN box.

Finally got this. Red/white smash.

New song kind of just sounds like Sorceress 2. I liked Sorceress, so that’s not bad, but it’s not what I had hoped. The single also reminds me of Cusp of Eternity in that it’s a solid song but just kind of plain and not doing anything for me. Mikael did say that all the songs are different and this was a clear single, so the rest of the album could be different. We’ll see. On the positive side, the lead guitar, especially the solo, is great. Frederick is a monster. I love the combination of technical power and nuanced emotion.

I would love another album more in between both sides, like Ghost Reveries. It doesn’t even need growls, just more metal.

Yeah I bought a couple of Sorceress copies, but I don’t usually do that so I stuck to just the boxset on this one.

Nice! Thank you! Had to snatch up that Mailorder Boxset!

That stinks about the red and white smash. That doesn’t really go with the artwork like the yellow does. Not a big deal for me though. I haven’t seen any shipping yet, but I’ll definitely let you know what I get.

Okay, yes, I can see that. I was talking musically.

I’ve never heard that about Ghost albums and obviously don’t believe that to be true in the least. While Prequelle has some highs, it’s my least favorite album as a whole. Meliora is my favorite.

Not sure why, as I didn’t need another copy (I do love this record though), but I bought one from deep discount. I heard they were a bit slow and lazy about shipping and I haven’t heard a peep yet. I wonder if the next Ghost record will try to go even poppier. I hope not. I think Meliora was Ghost at its best. Just enough pop in the rock and metal.

It’s on the Nuclear Blast site under pre-orders, if that helps you.

Based on the above quote, I’m going to guess you’ve never known anyone that worked as a bank teller, and all the people you know are very responsible with money. My wife worked as a bank teller for s few years and she couldn’t believe the number of people that would come in to discuss their MULTIPLE overdraft fees. On the subject of the multiple reissues of Bloody Kisses lately. I also ordered the stand alone BK from ROG thinking I was helping to encourage the release of the other records. I guess it worked? And while more TON is never a bad thing, I don’t think I need 4 copies of BK.

I think it’s also Bullmoose points.

Yeah, it does now, but at first it was blank.

No release date listed. Edit: now it says 9/6/19 also the two disk BK is delayed into mid July.

Okay. So new cover for the box. Nice. I would bet that all of these are recut... maybe? I would also think they would say that if the were, though. Hmmmm. Bloody Kisses will almost certainly be the new ROG groove cut, so are the others new cuts too, or using the original stampers? New cuts of all the records would be awesome as the ROG BK sounds great.

Awesome. I bought it without reading any details. Ha! Im sure this will appear, if there are any left after online preorders, in any store that sells the other Run Out Groove titles, so check your local store to make sure. Now to go back to the ROG page to get the deets...

Thank you! I’ll check it out.

Any idea what this may sound like? I liked some of the more traditional songs on the Suspiria soundtrack, but ultimately didn’t think I’d listen to it all that often. If this has more stuff like the single from Suspiria then I may want to jump on this.

LOL. Man I just looked closely at the cover. I love Chelsea Wolfe and I love “goth-y” stuff, but she nails the dark, deep, high school level art. “Pain is Beauty” and this cover of her holding some kind of ceremonial knife above her head, about to plunge it into some jock’s heart, ‘cause, you know, she’s dark and artsy.
