deftbarley Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Digital is out now too. It's lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdomestic Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Got mine today! It is also more of a gold/red swirl. In other news for Canadian shipping minutiae, DHL handed the record over to Final Mile shipping at the border. That means I didn't have to pay additional duty for clearing the border! I got dinged on every single Mondo order in 2020 and it was like $50 for the Batman the Animated Series Volume 2 box set. Happy to not shell out another $20 for this one. Hope this is the new standard for Mondo. Edited March 19, 2021 by Subdomestic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdkaiser Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 My Mondo copy of Her is pretty heavy on the surface noise. Constant light surface noise. I've wet cleaned the thing twice now, and no improvement. Also kinda warped and a big fat seam split across the top of the jacket. The record is pretty though. ha ha. How does everyone's copies sound? Do you have surface noise as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an MPO pressing which is generally one of the better plants out there to the point where I get excited seeing their stamp on the dead wax. Hopefully this is an isolated instance.

Yeah, I clean all my albums before I spin them. I have another similar variant, this marbled translucent style vinyl pressed at MPO, and it too is heavy on the surface noise. It's the Drive soundtrack on gold vinyl. Generally speaking, MPO is pretty good, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh that sucks I actually have the exact same variant from the recent Cowboy Bebop release (picture not mine but it's def the same mix pressed at MPO) that sounds incredible.

Maybe I'll be able to swap my copy for a different one, if they have any left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPantz Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 This is like the 1st pressing of The Fountain all over again. Highly anticipated 1st ever vinyl release and then poorly produced with most copies being horrible and a few outliers saying theirs sounds good. Here's hoping the clear is all right.

I've also heard from another person that their local record store warned them about buying the pressing because feedback from their customers consisted of complaints about surface noise. I hope you have better luck with your copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) My Mondo copy wasn't terrible, but wasn't great either. I didn't clean it though. Will report back on spin 2 later today. Definitely some light warping though. luckily my record clamp will correct that. Edited March 23, 2021 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I opened my Mondo copy first and my god what a dirty record. It was basically coated in white shit from the printed inner sleeve. Did indeed sound noisy as hell before a cleaning, but I think it's a serviceable pressing now. Clear Newbury copy was the same deal. Also, now that I've heard this in full it would actually NEED the most perfect pressing imaginable to sound completely flawless. Some parts are just so quiet and delicate where you really can't expect to hear zero noise but I can also see how a noisy pressing would ruin the experience.

deftbarley Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Side B, Track 2 on my clear copy has a ton of static toward the end. I thought there was a hair or something stuck in the needle. Nope. Going to try a good cleaning. I thought it may have been part of the song but it's not on the digital release. Other than that, it sounds great.
