OldKentuckyShark Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Doubt I’ll get the red version as well but might if US stores are getting it. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Never thought I would be passing up Amnesiac special editions but here we are. Damn, I can't help but be a bit underwhelmed. The books would be cool, but, the shipping on the Radiohead site is crazy. Will keep my eyes peeled for other sources, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Someone please explain how it’s even remotely possible that this is a triple LP. Is there some half-speed magic I’m just not understanding or oblivious to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really need the Radiohead big brains in here to explain to me how they can make 43:57 and 49:56 playtimes sound good on single LPs. Someone please explain.

Worked out great so far, no issues. I've added them to my post-Bull Moose rotation of places to look. OldKentuckyShark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiscodeman Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I really want this and will try to get it eventually, but I'm going to do what I did for OKNOTOK and wait until sound quality reviews come out to hear which press is considered the best. I'm assuming they'll have different presses for USA vs EU/UK. danyc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone please explain. There's plenty of great sounding 44-minute records. Kid A is definitely a bit on the long side, but it's also a little more like 47 minutes as the silence on either side of the hidden track on the CD is nearly 3 minutes. I don't really think Radiohead of all bands is one to not QC the shit out of this to make sure it works. ethanpricington 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldKentuckyShark Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 And dropped $200+ on this between both versions and the paperback after saying the box set would be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some half-speed magic I’m just not understanding or oblivious to? Research I did says at 33 1/3rpm that Optimal side length is 16-20 minutes. Maximum is 25 minutes. Kid A is 47 min 12 sec (Side A = 24 min 27 sec + Side B = 22 min 45 sec) Amnesiac is 43 min 57 sec (Side A = 20 min 59 sec + Side B = 22 min 53 sec) Edited September 7, 2021 by ethanpricington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuhanclan Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 went in for the book, cassettes and the small booklet. also pre-ordered the red vinyl ok rough trade but might cancel it later. it's close to $300 worth of stuff between the two orders 😓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highfives Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 They are using smaller labels, so there could be extra time on each side given the smaller space they're taking up. Not sure what that equates to in minutes, but it should give a little more room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side A of Kid A is really close to that maximum, but at least Treefingers isnt a super loud one, maybe the inner groove distortion will be menial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a guarantee that the XL 2 LP pressing that came out a couple of years back will sound marginally better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
