If anyone got 2 copies of the bonus disc and is missing a red Kid A disc, let me know. 1. Glad you got your Luna purchase because I purchased from there too and haven’t received any shipping notifications. 2. Sucks that you didn’t get the third LP 3. Since I ordered from there too maybe I have the opposite problem and if so I’ll contact you about it untiliwakeup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for a shipping notice, mine showed up with the subject "Todd Robinson has sent you a package" and made no mention of Luna at all, I had to piece together what it was for.

My label was created on the 29th and it just started moving today. Hoping there isn’t 2 Kid A’s in mine. untiliwakeup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntslash Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Got my copy from Plaid Room last night. I've listened to Kid A and Amnesiac but not the bonus disc. No issues with pops or sibilance for me on either disc. This definitely sounds better than my OG 10" copies, most notably on Idioteque and Pakt Like Sardines. Really brought out sounds I'd never noticed before, which is saying a lot given how many times I have listened to these albums. coolio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Got my copy from Luna (great packaging by them). I listened to Amnesiac and Kid Amnesaieiaia and overall thought the sound was good. A couple of pops that should clear up from a wet clean but nothing like some of the reviews I’m reading. Amnesiac is slightly off center but doesn’t affect the sound or playback. The third LP did have a little cut on the side from poor trimming and both seem to have varying trims - part is thick and flat, part is thin and sharp. Again, seems to be some shitty trimming when they come off the press. I haven’t listened to Kid A yet, which seems to have the most sound quality issues from what I’ve read. The packaging is nice, similar to the 3xLP OKNOTOK. Kinda bummed there’s no download card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highfives Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Spun Kid A tonight. My copy has some significant distortion on How to Disappear Completely. It’s crazy because it’s not IGD, but it’s very noticeable and lasts for a while. Otherwise it sounds pretty good. I’ll probably do A/B’s against the OG 10”s down the road.

CeCeCe Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Received the Cream Scarry Book edition today, was taken aback a little over its size, its a beast of a thing. Very well packaged to avoid damage in the post as well and included a spare set of inner sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not got the deluxe OKNOTOK but it's not really like AMSP. Its not got a hardcover like regular book editions usually do, but each of the pages are very thick rigid card, so its like a series of panels bound together. Hard to describe really, not seen any other editions quite like it. timsimmons 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After an initial spin (Kid A & Amnesiac only) I'd say my copy is a better pressing than my Red one. I can see his point about the volume of content although it was very clear how much was going to be included from the outset.

Oh, I seldom trust random Reddit rants, especially when we have no idea what their audio setup is. I was speaking more towards their disappoint with the actual packaging and presentation.

timsimmons Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Also, important to remember that the RH reddit is basically 18 year olds who got into them last week and way too excitable fans that post 8 CDs and 2 LPs to show off their "collection".

timsimmons Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 To be clear, I'm dunking on them showing off a collection of nothing particularly noteworthy that people have similarly posted 1000 times before, not that its small or something. Once a day theres a "look what I found at my local thrift shop!!" ::posts picture of a used Bends CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was somewhere around that part of the post where it became obvious that they shouldn't be taken seriously – and for their own sake, should probably have public posting access revoked.

To be fair I thought the majority of posters on Reddit were 18 year olds. Although I must admit quite a bit of stuff that gets posted in vinyl deals also seems to end up here. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
