scottheisel Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I love how the three of you were apparently standing in line right behind one another and probably had no idea. Ha! Jordalsh, jacobe and Snaggle Von Swift 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeconspiracy Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I went to both nyc shows and picking up a tour variant was top priority. I just opened my copy i got at the show last night and looks like they gave me the splatter instead. I'm so bummed out right now. If they're not totally out of the tour variant and someone can grab me one at one of the upcoming shows, I'd seriously be eternally grateful. This is one of my all time favorites and I'm kinda heartbroken right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwahoo Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I assumed that the copy I bought at the show tonight would be the tour version. But I got the splatter as well. Bummed. To be fair, it was evident from the display copy that it was not the tour version. Provided you know the difference. I did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 So I just noticed that a 'Remastered' version of Everynight is not on Spotify. to me, it sounds WORSE than the original. Wondering if this was remastered for vinyl and they just stuck that version on Spotify. Anyone else feel the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Potter Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Would anybody mind posting a photo of the other splatter disc? I'm curious if it differs from the mock-up as much at the other one. Edited July 20, 2016 by Hairy Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) So...the one on the left is the /300 and top is tour version? If so, that /300 is atrocious looking. it looked way different in the pic that was posted last page.

deer Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Keep in mind that the way Pirates Press takes pictures of their records results in their transparent purple looking red-ish. Will probably have a different hue in-person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of translucent a side/b side with splatter records are pretty bland looking without some light. I have no doubt that I will be pleased with the finish product based on previous experience with similar variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love them, though. The Aside/Bside translucent copy of Knuckle Puck's While I Stay Secluded is an amazing example of this.

runforcover Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) On 7/9/2016 at 7:04 AM, birdwell said: I can tell by their boxes. Both are true. Pirate Press and A to Z are US Brokers for the GZ plant in the CzechRepublic, so all of "their" pressings go through the CzechRepublic. In my experience their pressings are very hit or miss as far as sound quality is concerned...additionally most of the crazier looking pressings (especially the hazes) tend to be really dirty right off of the press. Their packaging is extremely cheap and lackluster and usually slightly too large which often results in seam splits. Theres also rumor that they often just use a CD or low quality mp3s to source the audio from...sometimes even if you're getting a legit laquer cut to send to them, they'll start the project without waiting on the proper master...that part is speculative rumor, but everything in that above ramble is personal experience. Respectfully, this information is not correct. Like any plant, Pirates/GZ use the audio you provide them. Are you implying that even when provided a quality vinyl master, they are somehow acquiring a CD or downloading MP3s and using those instead? Why would that ever happen? Some people prefer DMM and some don't, both methods have their pros and cons, but 99.9% of people would never notice the difference. If you've have poor sounding GZ pressings, it's because of the master provided. Sometimes their different configurations, haze in particular, has a "dust" or "sand" on it, which can easily be wiped off and does not scratch or hurt the record. This is definitely not ideal, but not the end of the world. GZ uses Direct Metal Mastering, which is a different process from using a lacquer. If you get a lacquer made and send it to Pirates or any plant pressing DMM vinyl you have wasted hundreds of dollars for no reason. Cheap packaging: Have you seen or held one of the Hey Mercedes 2xLPs, or really anything we've put out recently? You could likely knock someone out with it if you were so inclined. Like any plant in the world there is a multitude of packaging options. Nice things cost money. Some people don't want to pay for it, and in return their products have lighter/flimsier jackets. Blaming this on the plant makes zero sense. Edited July 23, 2016 by runforcover aopps42, deer, TheGhostOfRandySavage and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runforcover Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) It's hard to disagree or correct information without sounding like an asshole, but I assure you I do not mean to sound like an asshole, nor am I trying to make someone look stupid. If anyone cares to read about DMM vs. Lacquer vinyl pressing there's tons of information provided with a quick google search, but I found the explanation of the two here: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/poll-dmm-direct-metal-mastering-vs-lacquer-mastering-vs-dtd-direct-to-disc.350378/ to be pretty succint explanations.
