3arl Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Even though I love this album, I only end up spinning it 5 or 6 times a year. Maybe if it's still up whenever they put Artist up I'll consider biting on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticus Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Man. Everyone is saying it, but this is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtobi-wanx Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I just realized how great this release is. I definitly under-rated it, when it came out! Artwork and sound quality is awesome of this release. I've got some surface noise on the C-side, however. Anyone else having any issues?

xthricex Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Anyone who has the original press of this also purchase this repress and can compare? Everyone keeps comparing to the HT repress, but I'd like to know if it's worth rebuying the repress at some point or if my original holds up to it just fine.

Everyone keeps comparing to the HT repress, but I'd like to know if it's worth rebuying the repress at some point or if my original holds up to it just fine. If it's anything like my original pressing of War All The Time, it will sound just as good--and it's only 1 LP as well. I don't know what happened to the represses Island has been doing lately.

siberiankiss Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I got my yellow today and on a/b there's a pretty sick streak of black running through it. Sounds pretty good considering I've never been a fan of the production. Heard some bits in "Atlantic" I've never heard before which was nice. My yellow a/b also has a black streak in it. I thought it was pretty cool. vinylfilmaholic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaba1337 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Compared the gold pressing to the HT Peach/Tan marble pressing. The HT pressing has lots of background noise and sounds like it is being played through a 1990s plastic GPX boombox, hollow. The Gold pressing is very clear and bright sounding, almost a bit too bright at times. I picked up a little bit of clipping/distortion on the vocals. The gold pressing also seems to lack a little bit on the low end compared to the CD. Overall, this new pressing sounds a million times better than the HT pressing I have and I am very happy with it.

blanchardoswald Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'd be willing to trade a copy of the Beggars repress for a copy of this if anyone is down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psus2h Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I'd be willing to trade a copy of the Beggars repress for a copy of this if anyone is down That's a good deal. But if you're looking to buy, the white version should still be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwgncpr Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I was out of town this past week, and finally had a chance to spin Vheissu this morning. Those of you claiming that this is much better than the HT are crazy. Admittedly, it is very different sounding, but this release is kind of crappy sounding too. The HT version is very flat and sits around the mids, this new press really pushes the highs. The clipping on Riley's cymbals is cringe-worthy. It does have a bit more range though. It certainly isn't worse than the HT version, but I wouldn't call it an improvement. I have never heard an OG copy, but since it's a single LP, I can't imagine it sounds stellar. I'll probably keep both copies (HT brown and OA clear), but sadly I think my CD still sounds the best. This new press is gorgeous looking. I just wish it sounded as good as it looks.

I ordered a copy and was so excited to hear something besides the HT press (which is just disappointing). Someone who owns an original should do a FLAC of it.... Also any record that goes for over $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

affadavit Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 These came in for me a couple days ago. Superfast international shipping so I was really impressed. I agree with everyones comments about how great the jackets turned out and the colour of the vinyl matched too. The OG copy still sounds the best for me and I really didnt mind the HT pressings but these ones sound awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
