mucusoffmybrain Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I believe the "extra vinyl" he spoke of is the actual Water & Solutions album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have picked up one of the other W& S a while back that has Bury White cut off. So this pressing differs from the SRC, as in a new stamper?! That's boss if so. I was not exactly blown away sonically by the SRC copy or perhaps just a bit not into Far like I had been in the early 2000s when I first discovered their music. I was so crazy about them back then I spent like $80 on a Quick CD and Listening Game not as much. I absolutely love the original two Sketchy EPs and "Tricky", that'd make a good single LP. I do have the Sketchy#1 10", did #2 ever come as a vinyl pressing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNEAKORDS Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I bought one of the DIY WS records last night and this morning it was changed to a bundle with the USB drive, guess they're almost sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mucusoffmybrain Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yes, different pressing. New one has Pirates Press WS20 in deadwax. firefoxUSSR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up one of the leftover W&S last night. Seconded, just got out my SRC copy. Woefully underwhelming copy, probably did the best with what was available. Unfortunately if you don't have an unmastered copy or a protools file there's not a lot that can be done to restore dynamic range/detail....is what I have noticed in reading about the subject of mastering for vinyl.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Got my main package in the mail today! Gotta agree with what the other person said and say that for how much this cost it's pretty disappointing. I'm excited to listen to it still, but I think $60 would have been a much fairer price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) This was kickstarter funded so of course those of us who put in overpaid a bit. I’m only really disappointed in the shirt. Would’ve rather had a much more simple design. Oh well! Edited December 25, 2018 by dantheriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Priotirty shipping because of the shirt $12-15 depending where you’re located. But also, I’m pretty sure he wasn’t selling the zine with anything, and you were able to secure everything ahead of time, instead of waiting for whatever limited amount of leftovers he’d have and ultimately sold out in two days. $90 was decent.

But do you think the zine and usb drive are really $18 items? They seem like they should have been $5-$10 items tops. Overall I'm still glad I backed it because Jonah seems like a good dude and I'm glad to have gotten the record. With everything said and done though I feel like I paid a bunch of money for something I wanted (the records) and a bunch of kind of "meh" extras. I'd have much more gladly paid $35-40 for the record and a download. (I feel like the zine could also be included in there too since I used to always get comparable zines for free with $15-$20 records all the time at shows, or again, $5ish if they somehow weren't free.) Maybe I just expected more personalization, I donno. Edited December 25, 2018 by Ishtar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam10647 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Just got my package from Kickstarter BIG thanks to the mail man that left it in the rain outside on Christmas eve so it could sit and soak for 2 days. it's all destroyed. daniele 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyEnemy Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Just got mine and the o my thing I’m not stoked on is the decent seam split on the jacket. Feel like Jonah could have shipped outside the jacket. Also, I have no need for the USB(the same as any DL from any record I’ve ever bought that includes one). But love the shirt(picked my favorite shirt color and Jonah did a great job with the color way on it), dig the gatefold jacket and zine. Pretty bare bones witch I do enjoy.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 For those of you interested in adding this to your discogs collection I just added the release as a compilation on the Far page there.
