dawhizz Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I was just looking the other day to see if this had ever been pressed. Is this going to be a limited pressing anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Sadly details are pretty thin on the ground I only found out this was getting pressed through a facebook post in early September and at that point there was no preorder information at all. If I had to guess I'd say it'll be quite a small run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress On The Sky Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 @dawhizz I have emailed Pure to see if they can give any insight into the pressing numbers, weight of vinyl and type of packaging (single/gatefold). Will update the thread if and when I get any answers. NewOldStock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 No response from Pure on quantity but mine has just arrived. It's not a gatefold but has a printed inner sleeve with the lyrics on one side and a photo on the other (will post pictures tomorrow) vinyl doesn't feel like 180gm I'd estimate it at 150gm. Packaging was a bit light on padding so mine got a minor crease but that doesn't fuss me. I'm no audiophile but I'll spin it tomorrow and let people know if there's any significant issues with the sound quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Not that it's a huge deal, but that's kind of crap that it's 150g since the product page specifically says it's 200g. I'll probably order a copy tomorrow when I get paid. Loving the fact that the British Pound has dropped to $1.22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 I'm not certain of the weight I'm just going by how heavy it felt in hand so I could be way off as its 1 in the morning over here and I'm probably beyond my best reasoning. Maybe the 200gm quote on the page is including the cardboard it came in and its closer to 160gm I dunno... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress On The Sky Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Just played it start to finish and apart from a few pops at the end that are probably down to dust there are no major issues with the sound quality that my untrained ears could detect. Also I'm pretty certain this weighs 150gm now as I weighed it. Also on my previous 1AM post I neglected to mention IT DOES NOT COME WITH A DOWNLOAD CARD and judging by the lack of answers I got when I emailed Pure records if you contact them for a download I don't think they'll even bother responding. I've had the CD since 2006 so the lack of downloads wasn't a deal-breaker but I recognize it may be for some of you. Overall I'm very happy with the finished product.

glass realms Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Pure Records is selling the album on Amazon Marketplace. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M9B40ZQ/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item It's slightly cheaper shipping to the US. £23.08 vs £27.50 on the Pure Records website.

dawhizz Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I hear a couple pops on Act IV, but otherwise my copy sounds good. Anyone ever figure out pressing on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
