Canal Ocho Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Finally received my copy, this thing is just lovely. The guy from the SR store was super helpful, too, in keeping me updated on the delay and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple_torture Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Finally spun my copy, and, to echo everyone here, it's fucking flawless. One of my favorite pressings of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntslash Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'm going to add this to my list of best sounding records ever. This is now officially my favorite Sigur Ros album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friggiesmalls Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Does anyone know how limited Takk is? I know they haven't announced any specific copy limit, but it's weird I keep seeing this listed as a limited edition record when it's been selling on the band's website for a while now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Limited doesnt mean it will sell out in minutes, for a bad record, it could take years or decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewOldStock Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Booya. Didn't get a shipping notification but it just arrived! Haven't cracked it open just yet but it all looks good so far - superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantark Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Finally getting around to listening to this. The thing that hits me first is the great thump, the low end is thick and textured, unlike possibly any other record I own. Top that off the chimes/bell things on the first track, then that voice, wowzers. I can now hear what everyone has been raving about.

_stretts Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 My morning has been consumed by this. Keep spinning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckle Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 This baby sounds pretty damn awesome. Sad to see some seem splits on the inner sleeves but still worth every penny. Splits don't bother me as much as others, and frankly I'm used to it given I order a ton of items through the mail. Glad to finally have one of my bucket list records in my hands. I have a second copy coming in my Dec VMP package so I will see if I have splits on that version and gift the better looking one to a friend who I think would be into Sigur Ros. It's a great introductory record to the band given it contains some poppy elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Just got this in today and holy shit, what a beast of a package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I ended up having to store it with my box sets/last year's Isis reissues. It is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poweredbytrust Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 yep, still need to acquire a poly sleeve that fits the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 yep, still need to acquire a poly sleeve that fits the whole thing.This. I'm kinda leaning toward some bags though, if anyone can recommend a brand/site to go through. I need some for those two recent Atmosphere reissues, Takk, and a couple smaller box sets if they'll fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewOldStock Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 yep, still need to acquire a poly sleeve that fits the whole thing. Aye, I need something that fits! If anyone can recommend anything please do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Aye, I need something that fits! If anyone can recommend anything please do. There's a chain of stores called The Exchange in my area, and they have every record, new or used, in a thick sleeve. I used one and it fits. I've asked them before what kind they have, and they say they just get them in unmarked boxes every week or so, so I don't know what brand they are, but if anyone else has an Exchange near them and knows, maybe they can share.

markok Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Posted this in another forum, but I will put this here too: Alright, I finally ordered this from elusivedisc (to Europe). I actually bought two copies and asked them to choose these from different boxes so if there is a non-fill problem its not on both. I dont know if they did, but judging by the slight dishing on one of the copy, they must have. But it turns out there is a scratch on Se Lest (B1) and its exactly the same place on my two copies. Is it possible that the lacquer was scratched? If so, this must be the same on hundreds or thousands of copies. The scratch is not easy to see (actually you need the best available light) but on playback its evident (clicking, pretty loud on both speakers) - its in the middle of the song, the quiet part with the keys and Jonsi singing, lasts about a minute or so. Its not on the CD, its definitely a scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Not sure if it sold out or remained available, but they tweeted a video about the pressing of Takk, and it's available in their store. Again, if it's been there all along, my apologies, just trying to be helpful. https://t.co/duFkef123V https://t.co/Qwq7rtnS3j Yooooo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
