We get it, you don't want to "waste" your money. However, the vast majority of owners have been pretty happy with the record....so maybe there is no need to post over and over again that you didn't like the quality.

Until today I had seen only negative reviews which is why I have no reason to believe anything other than poor pressing quality. If you (in the general sense) want to buy it, I suppose that's fine by me. I keep posting because a bunch of people came in and said the last run (which used the same plates as this one) was terrible, and people are still saying it might sound good. Won't let people get their hopes up. Here's a 320kbps vinyl rip of the coke clear/maroon pressing. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-P_c3D_XUPsRFktUldGSXYzZWs If you want to know how it's going to sound, there you go. The first song of each side is passable, then it gets worse until the last song of each side is a distorted mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I don't need to listen to your rip of the record as I listened to my personally copy this morning. It sounded fine! As far as you only have seen negative reviews....check out discogs as it has a 4.55 out of 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people are probably reviewing the content rather than the pressing quality, and it's pretty common for VC'ers not to trust Discogs reviews. I'm surprised yours sounded fine to say the least, but I don't really feel like sitting here and arguing about it anymore so I guess I'll stop posting about it in this thread. Edit: Also, I was meaning for the rip to be for ANYONE to give a go before deciding to purchase it, just leaving it out there so people can hear what they're buying.

kjkenney Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Can confirm on this press. Last song on every side has a very noticeable spot where the sound greatly degrades in quality. The rest of the record sounds fine on my personal setup with tone control dialed in, but sounded bland upon first putting it on. Worth it to me personally as this will be far from my most played record. Coupon helped as well. Never would I ever buy this or similar presses for second hand market cost. That's rough.

twentyonebrendon Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Got mine today... Not happy. I knew the plates were bad, but not this bad. The songs progressively get worse on each side. What a shame.. DecayToDeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't value my $20 more than I value my not wanting to beat my head against the wall I'd buy a copy myself and rip it too. Rips sound like ass, and I haven't heard a single good thing about it. Maybe you're the lucky one who got a good sounding press, but I am not buying any of the RPs off of this set of plates. If they do it right I'll jump at it, but I am not buying something just to say I own it. DecayToDeath and The Taint Tickler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
