scottyrobotty Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 As this is my 4th copy I don't really care too much what it sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I've only listened to my copy twice, and I guess I wasn't really paying attention. But mine does have that crackling in the right channel on Track 8. I only really notice it towards the beginning. And towards the beginning of track 6. So I guess I will contact Bull Moose and see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will reimburse any standard shipping costs you incur. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Cloudsbelow Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I opened another one of these one a whim before returning to amazon.. thinking I had a pretty solid copy already, but wow.. this one wins it. When they got pressed properly they are stellar. little bit of surface noise in the quiet parts, i get it.. its vinyl and there's dust in my house... etc... but fucking wow.. solid pressing when you get a good copy. loud and dynamic.. chilling, as it should be.

Canuckle Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 It would be difficult to send replacements for a limited release like this. Wonder where the VC versus Discogs users score went though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 It would be difficult to send replacements for a limited release like this. Wonder where the VC versus Discogs users score went though... Father John Misty did it. Though I don't believe that had a certain number of copies like this one. Took a couple months to get replacements (understandably so). They re-pressed the record and just sent out the discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Basically what will eventually happen with this one Will we have to go through where we bought it from? As you can see above Bull Moose is only offering a return for refund. Someone on the previous page said they were put down for a replacement from the Sigur Ros online store.

I'm sure that they'll let us know if they get word of a replacement situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustus Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I contacted SR directly and they are aware of the problem and are sending me replacement LPs (sans cover/sleeves) for free. Originally, Amoeba was going to replace it, but they received an email from SR that asks that customers contact the band for replacement. We have received feedback that there might be some audio problems with a proportion of the clear vinyl stock of Sigur Rós’s ( ) album released in America this week. It seems that a faulty “stamper” used to press a percentage of the records has resulted in shallower grooves, which has in turn created "static-like” interference on the affected records. We have received reassurances from Vinyl Factory, our manufacturers in the UK, that because stampers are changed regularly that this fault is likely to be experienced only on a minority of the record’s clear vinyl edition. If you are unlucky enough to receive any customer complaints relating to this problem then please have them contact us at [email protected], and we will replace the rogue pieces of vinyl at the earliest possible opportunity, at no cost to the customer. Please note, however, that customers should keep hold of their numbered limited edition album package, since only individual pieces of vinyl will be replaced. Sigur Rós like to maintain the highest possible production values with all their releases, and regret that any of their fans might affected by any unfortunate manufacturing problems.

YouTwo Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Thanks for posting that. I'll try contacting them directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghjghj Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I think it was advertised as 140g. 140g is a little bit more, that standart weight, but these still REALLY thin and flimsy. I hold (like you should: finger in the center and finger on edge) the record and it bends a little under it's weight. Maybe I'm wrong, but it doesn't seems like 140g record to me.

YouTwo Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I emailed SR directly at the address that agustus posted above. They just asked for my name, address, and where I purchased it and I'm down for a replacement. So anyone else having trouble who hasn't done so yet should do the same.

jonnywreck Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Awesome. Thanks for posting that e-mail address. It's really great that they're handling this rather than ignoring the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dischei Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 received my order from amazon.com today! i only listen to side C at the moment, but i can say it plays fine! copy nr. is 2716/4000 regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghjghj Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Ok I was wrong about weight it's really ~140g but what about colour? On photo my copy compared to another clear record. Does every record is "yellow" or just mine? No complains, just wondering.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billya Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 People have mentioned there being bits of yellow and brown in there. This isn't too uncommon with clear records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghjghj Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 People have mentioned there being bits of yellow and brown in there. This isn't too uncommon with clear records. Well I saw posts about "bits of yellow" and thought, that they mentioned something like splatter/smoke/mix effect not the wholde record. And wanted to clarify maybe whole press like this, because I thought, that I will receive "clear" and not "clear yellow" record) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
