This Zero debacle is beaten up at this point. The only thing that amazes me is that appearantly no one (or perhaps a deaf person) listened to test pressings prior to giving the factory the thumbs up. BTW, I didn't jump onto the SP vinyl reissues bandwagon, decided for the CDs instead, but a well mastered/cut/pressed vinyl is supposed to sound good or be flawlessly played in any decent equipment. It's even a bigger suprise that they went from a 3xLP to a 4xLP and got a backwards effect.

Just won a claim against Midheaven. They were always great to deal with, big distributors but my latest order wnet on hold, they ignored any e-mails I sent them asking for changes on status which took me to a PayPal dispute. It's a shame I had to burn that bridge, they were handy for that or another item sold out at the label but still available there.

My most recent order from CT came out this way: - LTD "Nocturne" missing the poster; - Dive's "Oshin" scratched from factory; - Soft Moon cleat 7" missing what shoudl be a sticker. E-mailed them twice (info@ and katie@), so far absolutely no response. A shame, cause they release some great artists but they make it very hard to be followed.

For completism sake, leaving Tonight Reprise and Infinite Sadness out of this reissue was a huge mistake. They were part of the 3LP, this would be the perfect opportunity to finally add those songs to the body of MCiS. Much more than this or that TAFH alternate version that got included.

Ouch. Interpol's TOBTBL 10th Anniversary reissue comes out in the same day. Will drop some painful cash on these.

Currently: - Sunn O))): "III: Flight Of The Behemoth" (although I have faith it'll see the light of the day again just like "øø Void" recently did) - Circle Of Ouroborus: "Tree Of Knowledge" 12"+7" on Hospital Productions (this one I don't think I'll ever own)
