itsgoodtobefree Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well my Coldplay records came in today and they are the Capitol versions. US Amazon listings seem to be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjkenney Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well my Coldplay records came in today and they are the Capitol versions. US Amazon listings seem to be wrong. Its hard with these as Parlophone is the actual label that signed Coldplay and Radiohead, whereas Capitol was the distributor for their releases in the US, so while Capitol pressed these albums, all the album rights themselves belong to Parlophone. That being said, thats Amazon's bad for not putting the manufacturer information in regards to the label, Capitol, instead of just putting the label that the release originated from, Parlophone. Either way, good to know; very misleading, Amazon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSneis Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Took the risk and bought Capital jacket OK Comptroller at a local BN today, it was priced $25 (boo) and it is indeed a Parlaphone pressing! Robert_Sofa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Too many pages to catch up on Are we CONFIRMING that this new capitol -> parlophone secret press is indeed the analog pressing from the original parlophone ones that sounds amazing?

itsgoodtobefree Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well the first two Radiohead records I got were Capitol, but then Parachutes arrived and it's Parlophone O_o Also has the Atlantic logo in some places, but deadwax info matches the original UK pressing.

YouTwo Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I just received Amnesiac from Best Buy (in terrible packaging, but that's a whole other story). Capitol sleeve and Parlophone discs. Sounds pretty good too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 It doesn't match anything I see on Discogs. It matches what Wymans posted earlier Side a:532765^ BC80243-01 A^ MKSide b: 532765^ BC80243-01 B^ MKSide c:532766^ BC80243-02 C^ MKSide d:532766^ BC80243-02 D^ MK The most current European release doesn't show the runouts on Discogs. I'm wondering if they were there if it would match those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTwo Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 No, the only other Radiohead vinyl I own is the OK Computer I got from B&N with Capitol Sleeve and Parlophone discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 So, mystery solved. OK Computer is still the only pressing still using the original plates and you can import it without gambling for about $6-8 more. Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief didn't magically go back to their best masters so if you want copies of those you'll have to visit the secondary market. ALL THREE of those records have unique dead wax markings so they are easy to tell apart from the other pressings. Lastly, Parlophone discs are in Capitol jackets because magic. Either way it doesn't matter because you can get whatever they're hiding without gambling for them, not that you'd want to for anything but OK Computer. I'm sure a lot of you are happy about whatever pressing you have of Amnesiac, Kid A etc., but please don't spread misinformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthyrich Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Damn this is confusing. I took a gamble and just ordered OK Computer from Amazon US... Capitol sleeves... Capitol pressing. They're easy with returns, of course, so I'm just sending it back and reordering from Amazon UK instead. It's only about $27 and change. The funny thing, I've always been satisfied with the US press, but now I'm kinda expecting this amazing upgrade with the AAA plates. We shall see. I've been satisfied with the US presses of Kid A and Amnesiac, so I guess it depends on how much better OKC sounds before I decide to hunt those down on the secondary market. Just to confirm: Kid A, Amnesiac, HTTT = Parlophone original press (best), Capitol (worst), new Parlophone press with different deadwax numbers (??) It would be nice if someone who owns the original Parlophones could compare one of these "new" presses to their original and see if there's a noticeable (negative?) difference.

Cloudsbelow Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Why can't Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab just remaster all of these albums? I really dont think they require remastering, especially amnesiac/kidA.. All their albums sound pretty damn great if pressed properly (and you splurge for the "deluxe" versions) I'd like to see mofi take on deloused by tmv, that could use a little more air in it. ps. picked up a capitol reissue of pablo yesterday (im the biggest radiohead fan but never bothered with pablo) from the used bin.. clean copy but a noisy pressing, yuck.

fozzyb Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Can't really comment on any of the other Radiohead releases, but I just received my OK Computer from Amazon UK and it sounds leaps and bounds better than the Capitol reissue.
