timsimmons Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Man. I’m so fucking bummed. I’ve cleaned this 3 times. I don’t think it goes a minute w/o skipping. No marks. Cart is only 2 years old. Been playing records all day with no issues. kinda feel like I need to reach out to the club. I’ll try it on my other tables tomorrow. But I’m so bummed. Been looking forward to this.

The performance is always incredible, and I never notice his voice going out. But every concert video I've watched or audio recording I've heard has been rough on the vocals. He seems to be one of those vocalists that can pull it off if you're there but sucks on recordings. hobbesthecat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do at least a 14-30 second video recording on parts where the skips are definitely there and email the cherry tree club the video along with the request i did this last year w Vol 1 And they came through with a new copy for the delay, net of COVID, I’m 100% making sure there are absolutely no skips. Also with non splatter vinyl this should really not be an issue im sorry about this this is why I didn’t buy the cherry tree version of HV 10th anniversary Edited April 4, 2020 by hobbesthecat timsimmons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Despite their scary disclaimers about not replacing lightly damaged or lost items, they seem to be good about replacing damaged copies. They sent me a replacement for my Vol 1, which had a big scratch across the first track of side A that ticked every spin. Just sent them an email with a photo of the scratch and a 10-15 second video of the ticking. timsimmons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuhanclan Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) ranking albums by the national is unique because everyone has different answers. one man’s list can be in opposite order of another man’s. and one can even have different favorite at different times, never mind having a set 1 through 8. i guess it’s bcos each resonates with the man in different ways. it’s different from ranking, say radiohead albums, most of which are excellent (just like the national) but with radiohead there’s a general consensus that one of okc/in rainbows/kid a is their best. with the national there is a lot more room for debate, everyone album is potentially someone’s favorite i never bother ranking them myself cos i don’t think i’ll be able to. i’m not even sure i have a favorite. i just enjoy them. but it’s interesting seeing everyone’s choices. seeing someone putting the likes of s/t or ssfdl makes me ask myself, did i not give these two albums enough time?

timsimmons Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Well, good news(ish), it plays well on my good turntable, but still has some big pops. Not sure if thats where the skips were or if its static electricity buildup (I keep this player in my office where its significantly dryer - even though the heat isn't on). More investigating I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsNJazz Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 As someone who has been going to shows in Denver for the past 10 years a lot of singers have trouble with the high altitude and they have trouble with their voice sometimes, so if the recording is from a Denver show that's probably why his voice sounds rough, I wouldn't know though because I didn't sign up for this record and can't listen to it, but thought I would share my opinion on the topic because i am bored. Also I missed that show and regret it hobbesthecat and achillesstand7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious If the shows around this one had the same issue with Matt’s voice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalenforcer Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Just got my Vol. 2. Found it odd that it's a slipcase-type box, sturdy and well-done, but the records are just housed in individual paper sleeves. Seems to leave quite a bit of room for them to move around. hobbesthecat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I just pulled some plain sleeves from my stash and put the records in them. They fit really well. also, realigned my cart and have the records 2 more cleans. Still some minor pops, but no more skips. I’ll take it. great show. Matt’s voice goes, but I’ve seen worse from him (N2 of civic opera house) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Also don’t discount Matt getting drunker and higher as contributing to his vox going south. For me England is where it starts to get bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondfarewell Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Box is definitely sized for jackets. Weird. Fits well if you use some generic ones. Also, the picks were missing from my package. I think they slipped out in transit since the invoice was halfway out... Not the best mailers for small things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Mine fell out before I opened the box. Yeah, they should have taped it to the record. Edited April 5, 2020 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) I dig this show a lot. It’s well mixed. Great set list (for 2019). Matt’s voice goes sure, but the energy is still there. Fun as hell. beat band. Really hope they don’t disappear again for 2-3 years. Edited April 6, 2020 by timsimmons hobbesthecat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntslash Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Spun Vol 2 today. My copy is great. No pops, skips, or cracks at all the whole way through. This is a solid performance. Matt's voice holds up pretty well throughout to me. Is it flawless? No, but that makes it special. Otherwise I would just listen to the studio versions.

lethalenforcer Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) New clear/purple split variant of High Violet Expanded coming to the Cherry Tree store tomorrow (/1500).
