toomanyrecords Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Bought the clear. It's a 2XLP ,right? 18 tracks can't reasonably fit on one disk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 But really, I'm pretty sure it's a single LP with 12 tracks. The remaining 6 are bonuses reserved for the deluxe download, from what I can gather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomanyrecords Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Oooh, okay. Bummer that it's 35PPD but you pay for international shipping and erased tape quality, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to ambient, I'll gladly pay an extra $10-$15 upfront to get superior sound quality to Kranky's stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Has anyone received their Gas box? According to some people on Discogs there might be some quality issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there won't be issues. Wtf, scratches, distortion, records missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is selling copies for $135ppd on eBay and I was going to pounce soon... or maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scentofdeath Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 For what it's worth, Juno still has this in stock http://www.juno.co.uk/products/gas-box/624658-01/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 From Discogs: "does anyone have defective pressings? My Oktember CD was unplayable due to a deep scuff and most of the record sides have non-fill issues (they produce ripping/shhh swoosh sounds on every revolution). F--- this, and whoever decided to use MPO to press this (otherwise great) boxset...Edit2: someone messaged me, also have the same problem + what seems to be careless handling of records in the pressing plant (fingerprints and ripped sleeves)" "The ZAUBERBERG has the distortion going on every rotation on some sides (as stated by mvns), poor pressing. Moreover, some sides, especially POP, has lots of scratches (as if rubbed intensively with the cloth) and even few 'mr sticky fingaz MPO worker' signature fingerprints. are you kiddin me?" fuck our lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scentofdeath Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Time to prepare an elaborate letter to Kompakt about replacements and things like that... In advance. Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Yeah. Seeing as just one of the box's albums goes for $130-$150, I'm wiling to gamble at that price in hopes that they can rectify the situation down the road if need be. Between the value of all the albums, the accompanying book, and the presumably hearty box that houses it all... I'm still stoked on this set.

jackshidt Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I just emailed CCMusic and asked them to cancel my pre-order. It's not clear from their site what their policy on this is. I hate dealing with returns and replacements. I will wait a few weeks for things to settle out and then buy the set when I can do so with confidence. Thanks for the heads' up's.

JRHews Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Waiting on that AWVFTS rn, hopefully that clear is still there in a few weeks. Man, I love them. Dustin is a man crush for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scentofdeath Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Kranky is not in on the new AWVFTS? Their version for the previous album was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackshidt Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Collectors Choice (CCMusic) was willing to cancel my pre-order of the Gas box as I requested of them via an email. FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docbronze Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I struggle with ambient releases on LP. I love the music and I own many, but I almost always appreciate the silence and the unbroken tracks found on most CDs. I've bought almost no music in the last ten years on CD save for ambient albums.
