natenomm Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I bit the bullet on the single. Orc is one of my favorite albums of theirs, and an 11 minute single from that recording session sounds just fine by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numanoid Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably never listen to it, but at least I'll own it I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like more of an EP. Longer songs that also include a Trad Gras cover---sounds like a winner to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vern Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I suspect it'll be 3-5 song 12". The one tune is 11 minutes by the sounds of it, and there'll be a couple more on the flipside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut Butter Oven, the Quadrospazzed '09 12", the Total Control split, and Moon Sick are all excellent. spoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkenney Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Really want a Death of Cool Island Raiders repress. I know it was Narnack but its the only hole in the collection and prices have gone nuts on second hand market :/ New album is top of the year for me though, wow. conedust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swazzyswess Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) This album sounds really fantastic, both production wise and the LP itself. Does 45RPM in general lead to less surface noise...? I don't understand how a label as small as Castle Face can put out nearly flawless sounding albums, yet the new Metallica repress I have is full of pops and hiss. Awesome silkscreen, cool vinyl (pink smoke), and high-quality printed inner sleeves as well. Top-notch release all around.

No, 45rpm guarantees more detail grooves; literally more fidelity because more info is recorded into the PVC. Surface noise has a lot to do with the quality of the PVC and the pressing process. I'd bet my left nut those Metallica albums got pressed at GZ or Pirates Press, where quantity > quality, always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the technical part of record pressing at all, but why would a pop or click, for example, on a test pressing get transferred to the rest? Like there's an actual physical imperfection in the test press that gets replicated on every other record, without fail? I guess that would explain why sometimes people will say they have a skip/bad popping in the exact same spot of a record as another person. I always thought it had something to do with the dynamics of the record that caused noise in a similar spot on a given pressing (because I'm an idiot).

I always thought it had something to do with the dynamics of the record that caused noise in a similar spot on a given pressing (because I'm an idiot). the idea is that the test pressing is your reference for the master/mother so the TP is basically the first take to vinyl as the “sample” so if the test pressing has noise in certain areas, and you don’t address it with the plant, chances are every copy will sound like that since the TP was the reference sample for the entire batch. edit: this goes for any imperfections in SQ, not just surface noise. if you’re not happy with how your test pressing sounds, you reject it.

Same here, holding out and hoping for a reissue, as well as OCS 1-4. Maybe Narnack doesn't want to give Castle Face the licensing to reissue the album? I've read interviews with John Dwyer where he mentions some or other label they were on that was awful and won't allow them to do anything with the release(s) nowadays.
