AlexH. Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Looks like Velvet Blue might just slowly knock these off one by one. Excited for the eventual release of My Island in 2027. For now - shirts: ethereal and drds89 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjorn Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Very exciting. It's looking as if Gold will be a 45rpm 2x12", 500 on black, 500 on gold vinyl according to a poster on the SF59 FB group. That seems like an awfully low number so I hope I'm not traveling while it drops. I'm also curious to hear how the remaster will sound. The original pressing isn't great and the album has a pretty unusual sound to begin with, with it's buried drums and sections of blown-out distortion. More than anything I hope interest in this band's catalog keeps growing. I think they were ahead of their time and should have been much bigger than they were. copelandkid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I want to eventually unload all my first pressings for tons of dollage, but since I paid around $10 for each them, I'll just continue to enjoy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drds89 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Got mine 8 days after ordering (!), no seam splits or vinyl quality issues - sounds great. There was some glitter-like stuff on both albums, about a dozen flecks, easily removed with antistatic brush before cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My black copy sounds great, except the last track on the B side in unplayable and skips in multiple spots... there’s debris of some kind embedded in the grooves. My gold copy is noisier but at least it plays through. I will say that this album in particular is still enjoyable with a little extra vinyl noise, it fits right in with the overall aesthetic. I also like listening to it divided into four sides, it somehow gives the tracks a little breathing room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
