HUM - Electra 2000 & YPAA Reissues


Recommended Posts

I've got a 2013 black YPAA SRC pressing.  it's actually not that bad of a pressing, much better than the white copy I had at one point.  The white one as i recall was really snap, crackle and pop.  Got my hands on a black copy and this one is just fine.  I'm certain though this 45rpm version will be far superior in sound, I'll probably ditch the SRC copy once i get this.  What I don't have at all is Electra.  I missed the couple times he had those for sale and was pretty bummed about it, so I'm pretty stoked about having another shot to get that one.

That’s the one I had.  It was ok, but basically sounded just like the cd.

From Matt Talbots email just now:

 

HUM RE-ISSUES: YES, IT’S STILL, STILL HAPPENING…
 The day is here (almost). We’ve entered the actual manufacturing stage with RTI. We’ll likely be taking pre-orders mid-summer, with records shipping before the end of the year. Copies of Inlet, Downward is Heavenward, You’d Prefer and Astronaut, and Electra2000 will be available in both black and a color variant. (So, please, no major appliance purchases or new lawn mowers or anything before that so you can collect ‘em all.) Once the exact pre-order date is set, we’ll shout it from the rooftops. You won’t miss it, promise!

For those of you straining to read that, here's a normal font color variant:

At this point I’d love if they’d do a nice boxset. Regardless, I’m just stoked I’ll be able to own a copy of YPAA. Especially at the sound quality I’d expect from the Inlet and Downward pressings. 

Those are easily some of the best sounding records I own! Hammock’s “Longest Year” might follow in third place.
