Robert_Sofa Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm personally under the opinion that a proper 140 gram pressing is as good sounding as a 180 gram, and that a 2xLP should be in a gatefold whenever possible. Given the choice between the two, I'd lean towards Option 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAXXX Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 option 1. 180g feels boss. edit: changing my answer to option 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Everyone will say option two. Two discs in one sleeve is crummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Gatefold ALWAYS....the amount of damaged 2xLPs we receive in single pocket versus gatefold is exponential Absolutely loathe 2xlp in single pocket.....new Circe is a double LP in a single pocket. Somehow, miraculously, they traveled across the Atlantic (1,100) without a single corner ding though....bravo Brittland The only reason I prefer 180g is because it's less likely to warp....with gatefold a double LP is far less likely to warp regardless of weight. Just can't ever think of a reason you SHOULDNT go gatefold for a double LP. Ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Option 2. I hate 2 records in one sleeve I just got Built to Spill "Keep It Like a Secret" which is 2 discs in a single flimsy sleeve. It's not great. (The condition of the sleeve that is. The album is awesome). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aflycon Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Two for sure. Descendents' Somery has taught me never to purchase another double LP in a single sleeve if only for how difficult it is to cram both inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
