ethereal Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Looks like they obtained the 45rpm plates... I wouldn’t sleep on this if you have a 33rpm version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think time has been kind to Planet of Ice and many fans have realized its brilliance.

Stropav Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Has anyone been able to confirm the latest repress is a repress of the 45 RPM pressings from 2007-2008? The description on the store has the same "vinyl remaster courtesy of Bernie Grundman" sentence that accompanied the 33 RPM represses, but I’m guessing it might’ve been left there by accident.

I emailed David at Suicide Squeeze. He said this isn't a repress of the 45 RPM pressings from 2007-2008, and that "We recut the lacquers at 45RPM and moved to another pressing plant."

That's what I'm wondering as well, but we probably won't know until people have it in their hands and can compare. I don't own this album on vinyl yet, but it seems the consensus is the early 45 RPM pressings are vastly superior to the more recent 33 RPM pressings. I've been on the verge of buying the rather pricey 45 RPM version for several months, and this new pressing isn't making the decision any easier...

MacDonals Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 My tri-color copy arrived today, and I'll have to say that it sounds excellent. I have far from golden ears, but this sounds dynamic and super wide. Very happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like it was opened up. iDealélan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billich0986 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Has anyone done a comparison between the OG press and this new pressing? I picked up an OG press when I heard it was much better than the 33rpm press. Not sure I need a third copy of this album...
