Jesus Of Suburbia Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Green Day - Dookie (Picture Disc) Green Day - Revolution Radio (Picture Disc) Both available 9/29 and are $24.99 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyckelJay Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I have the standard black 2009 repress of Dookie and the FYE exclusive "hunter green" variant of RevRad. Seeing as both of these are still readily available to the public, why is a picture disc repress even necessary? Sure, they look cool, but wouldn't more people prefer better sound quality at a cheaper price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this press corrects that. The Dookie one I want because picture discs look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My copy plays fine. I'm a huge Green Day fan, but for me, these would just be novelties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't buy a picture disc to listen to, they aren't really made for listening with the plastic they use to press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it doesn't skip then it's already a plus for me. I'd rather have a record that plays perfectly on a picture disc than a 180gram that skips.

If literally every other record in my collection plays fine except for these 3 from the same album then there's something wrong with the press. You should see how many people have had the exact same issue as me with RevRad. gracetoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw87 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Its all dependent on the pressing procedure and run at the time. There was a run of epitaph records about 5 years ago that literally every repress that they made at the time skipped and everyone complained. But no one destatic'd theyre records. They were fine after i put gruv glide on them. Same thing for rev rad. All 3 colors skipped for me when i got them. They didnt after gruv glide. I am guessing they were all pressed at the same time during the same run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a few people, maybe; but not for a mass load of people. While gruv glide might partially or permanently fix the problem, the real problem is in the plates they used. JOS makes sense when they say They'd rather have a poorer sound that doesn't skip than a 180G that does. I agree, and I'm hoping they use new plates for this.

MyckelJay Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 So these come out today. Let me know if the problem with RevRad has been fixed. My copy plays fine, but I'm curious for the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Of Suburbia Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Just got it and finally I have a copy that doesn’t skip at all on Somewhere Now. They had to have used different plates or something this time around. MyckelJay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicbong Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Does the dookie pic disc is worth getting for pretty cheap ? Can somebody confirm that the press is decent ? Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
