Super dumb to need to flip the record after 2 songs. And as Doman said, Amnesiac could've easily fit on a single 12". Agree. Love that Warpaint did this with their second album. Wish they had with the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Finally got my Kid A 12" reissue today. Took some time and did the comparison to my 2000 10" Parlophone pressing. To my ears, the new pressing sounds as good as the original 10". I went track by track spinning one and then the other, icking sections to really focus on for the comparison. While I didn't do any waveforms or anything, they sounded pretty similar. I think this is the version to buy if you don't have it or have a Capitol pressing. For reference I did this on my good setup of a VPI HW-19 with a Grado Blue cart on a Marantz 2220 receiver and Polk bookshelf speakers.

ethereal Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 for anyone that grabbed the 45rpm of amnesiac, was it considerably quiet? I had to really crank my system to get a decent sound from it. it also sounds oddly remastered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK or US pressing? discogs is showing a slight variance in pressings, as with anything radiohead, seems like one is inferior to the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okckida Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I got the US pressing of the new 12 inch double LP and the pressing is noisy. I am returning it. It is a shame because otherwise sound like its at least as good as my UK pressing. My orig. UK pressing was excellent but some noise so was hoping for quieter copy. Well this is much noisier!!!

I ordered one from Amazon UK, but it took over a month to ship, so I decided to try my luck with a US copy from B&N, and if that turned out well, I could cancel my UK copy. My US disc one was very noisy, so I exchanged it, but they had to ship me my replacement. My U.K. shipped before I got the replacement US, so I waited on the U.K. and it's nearly perfect, so I didn't even bother to open my US replacement. The metal parts for both the US and the U.K. are identical, the covers are different and they were pressed at different plants for each region. I guess I should say made in NA and made in EU as that's what the covers say. My guess is they used the same plants that they used for AMSP, but again, that's just a guess. if my theory is true, you are more likely to get a quality pressing from Optimal than Rainbo, but good and bad copies have come out of both plants, so once again, we play roulette with new vinyl.

Cloudsbelow Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 still waiting for my store (canada) to get it in. Will likely be EU press, just seems to go that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmsmusic Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 My copy of Amnesiac has finally shipped from Amazon. The release date was changed to 2017, but it got shifted back and finally shipped.. hopefully its alright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achillesstand7 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Sorry if this has been talked about before, but I saw that there was an XL release of the Bends from 2016. Anyone know if this has better sound quality than the From the Vaults Capitol release (which I have, that sounds pretty awful)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it follows suit with the other reissues (and I don't see why it wouldn't) it should sound better than the Capitol reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
