Young Thug Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Finally. A troll bigger than me. I have to keep one sealed, one framed, and one on the turntable. vinyl addict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantark Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 One frame: Sealed. One frame: Unsealed, pull record out 3/4 of the way. One shadowbox: Vertical record player queued up to play it, power cord and A/V cables hanging out to be used for only a single play on your deathbed.

Moff Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Any news on the second pressing being any different from the first? Several online stores in the UK have restocked the album on black vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I know the jacket has a different credit somewhere on the back, not sure about actual press info. Second press has definitely be done and reported in some places. The inner plastic sleeve is thinner as well as the overall weight of the LP/package.

vinyl addict Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Most likely second. Though, the first press had some pressed in Germany as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moff Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 There are apparently 3 differences between the 1st and the 2nd pressing of the black vinyl version. I got this info from Discogs, I only own the 1st press, so I couldn't check both. 1. The 1st pressing is about 40g heavier. 2. The 1st pressing has 2015, while the 2nd press has 2016 printed on the back cover 3. The 1st pressing has the words "33311 Gütersloh" in Sony Music's address printed at the end of second line, while on the 2nd pressing they are printed at the beginning of third line on the back cover.

monklover Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'll take the hit for posting this..... These ARE NOT variants to be worried about! Everybody has a collector mentality and its dumb... Since the beginning albums have had to be repressed due to demand, and/or just the sheer amount they pressed had to be done in waves. Look at any other Bowie album though out his career...granted some may be better quality than others when you take into account the questionable 'remasters' they push out now, or old budget line presses... but are people really so concerned whether their copy of Hunky Dory came out in March of '71 or five months later in August of '71 or February of '72? No, because they are virtually indistinguishable save maybe some 'number' somewhere on it. Just like Blackstar now, if you give a fuck whether you're copy was printed 7 months ago, or 3 weeks ago with differences you'd have to search over the entire release with a magnifying glass and use scale to find. You suck. This album will be in print for some time now, which is good... that matters, not a couple numbers on the cover or record label! orangesix, niblips, poweredbytrust and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moff Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 These ARE NOT variants to be worried about! Everybody has a collector mentality and its dumb... Some people are collectors, some people are fans, others are just occasional listeners and buyers. Not everyone is a collector, but as far as I know, this is a collector's forum (hence - Vinyl COLLECTIVE). You should go to a fan forum and talk to people who don't care about these things. vinyl addict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 What makes the first press 40g heavier, the sleeve? 140g is generally the standard weight for vinyl pressings, so it might be standard instead of 180g this time around. Hopefully the US gets the represses soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
