timsimmons Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 So I opened my US retail orange copy, it is a different cut than the Deluxe version. Comparing the side A's, the Deluxe seems to be a slightly better cut. Lows seem a bit deeper and the highs sound crisp. The standard sounds good, (some surface noise, but I didn't clean it), the high end doesn't sound as crisp. May be a bit flatter actually. Low end sounds good though. I can't spin the other sides just yet, but if you are thinking about getting a deluxe, it does seem to be the package to get.

timsimmons Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Also, the Deluxe orange (bottom) is a slightly different shade of orange than the indie retail (top). thetrackt, firebird1 and jackshidt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say I didn't expect it to stay up for this long, so I imagine copies will become available in the US at reasonable cost if shipping is an issue.

I'll def be going for the deluxe package if I decide to get a physical copy of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscodeman Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 On a side note, I blasted this album while driving home from Chicago at 2:00am after going to the Kacey Musgraves Lolla aftershow. It felt like it kept me hyper-focused on the road ahead of me while flying down the empty interstate in the middle of the night haha.

I'm probably picking this up next chance I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Cleaned the orange retail. Still a little surface noise. It’s a pretty good cut besides that. I still say say the deluxe is better though. Pressing is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomguy13 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Got a copy of the deluxe and can confirm the hype. The packaging is really beautiful and the vinyl sounds fantastic. Crazy to think it's a surprise when a quiet track like "Dawn Chorus" doesn't have any surface noise and is perfectly clear, but it's a very welcome one.
