@@ron Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Anyone see the pressing numbers anywhere? I just went with black and white. Seems to fit the cover art best. Edited March 21, 2018 by @@ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not TOO concerned with which one I end up with in the end, but if I get the chance at one being a low pressing number, I'll scoop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a lot of 180g pressings that were super warped and even a record weight/clamp won't flatten them quite well enough because of how thick they are. At least with a thinner record it's a bit more pliable. Also, I went for the "smoke" or marble or whatever. Came out great on Interpol's Our Love to Admire.

I got charged in full, albeit I paid with PayPal. Every record I've purchased direct from the artist has been charged immediately. BM and Amazon don't charge right away, which is really nice, but I've never had a problem with getting a refund from an artist before.

There were a lot around 100g in the 70s when millions were pressed. 150 gram is / was the "audiophile" heavy weight before they decided 180g was the new sell bait in like 2008. Doesn't affect sound at all just harder to warp (and also unwarp which is annoying as fuck as posted above) s_alvanip, beta114 and ejc625 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the audiophile tag a marketing ploy? Yes. Is the 'deeper grooves' claim true? No. Will the average punter be able to tell the difference? No. The improved isolation and dampening you get with heavier vinyl, while small, does help improve clarity of sound, but these things are superfluous/environmental. I think you are referring to the fact that they can't physically get a better 'image' of the music onto the disc just because of there being more weight (which is true). My general rule is I go for 180g vinyl from physical stores I trust, and know there has been little chance of warping occurring (good shop conditions, shelving is not conducive to pressure, not posted in dodgy mailers), but a second hand record, or from a web store I'd rather a lighter option when available. An unwarped 180g disc is going to be more durable, and have a safer/happier life in a caring home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just weighed 3 records that weren't advertised as 180 gram and all three were in the 130s which is the same this will be. It'd be hilarious if your scale was off and all your "data" is wrong. And mixed color records no matter what the type (splatter, split, smash, haze) are all done by hand and will usually end up heavier or off the normal weight.

Buffbloom Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) A few years ago I compiled a list. Now, my collection now is MUCH larger, but this is a sample of the 240 12" records that I had at the time. Highest - 198g Average - 159.83g Lowest - 104g Here is the list - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k5tJ54jWvxm3_rLiwr3CQYaQvY9FbqLKjCgZbxhEDh8/edit?usp=sharing My scale is not wrong. Yours is though. Stop spreading false information. You are wrong. Edited June 22, 2018 by Buffbloom Shelby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
