darkforest71 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I've got an original US pressing of Pinkerton on Geffen, and it sounds pretty awesome. I haven't seen the MoFi copy around as much as I've seen Blue. I've been eyeing this deluxe set for a while now, cause those b-sides are pretty great. If they do Red or Raditude on MoFi before Maladroit I will silently be upset for a few minutes. I hope MoFi releases Maladroit soon too. It's kind of strange how they skipped right over it and went from Green to Make Believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emokid9963 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have the 4LP version, and I would honestly trade for the MoFi. I don't really listen to the extras/b-sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecruitingGuy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Just pulled the trigger on the PopMarket deal for the 4LP set. Hoping I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll throw in other stuff with it too I have the 4LP version, and I would honestly trade for the MoFi.

SNEAKORDS Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 thankfully they take paypal... I'm in canada but have a box across the border that I get shipments to. shipping to canada was $42 and they wouldn't let me put in an alternate shipping address in a different country, paypal seemed to get around that.

gmoney Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I sold my 4LP set because of sound quality and and distortion. Hope you guys have better luck. I need to get the better version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinji Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hm, maybe you got a dud? I have an early 2000s pressing I believe and it's kind of distorted, but it's always been a dirty record, specifically the drums and vocals. To each his own, though! I'll pick up the MFSL just because I'm a completist, so I'll see what I think of it after I've heard both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 You're killing my high, man. Was it that bad? Mine was but I haven't heard many other bad stories about it, so hopefully it was an isolated case. Continue your high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerohacker Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have the MoFi version and it's one of if not the best sounding records I own. No noise, very clear, I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have the MoFi version and it's one of if not the best sounding records I own. No noise, very clear, I love it.Same, the MoFi pressings of Blue and Pinkerton are both phenominal. Wouldn't mind giving a listen to this 4 LP set at some point though.

Cloudsbelow Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have the MoFi version and it's one of if not the best sounding records I own. No noise, very clear, I love it. this pressing really breathes new life into the record. I'm not sure if mofi really got it right with the pixies stuff and nevermind, but they nailed the blue album and pinkerton. I tried to buy the box.. cruel reminder of the pains of living in Canada. Shipping, ouch! niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I prefer the box version to my OG UK pressing of Pinkerton. Nevermind isn't that great in the expanded edition, but they nailed it with In Utero. That turned out so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedunknown Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I love the deluxe edition of Pinkerton, but I think the extra tracks could have been sequenced much better than they are. I'm more for the b-sides and acoustic than live/radio mix/demo stuff. As is, it seems all shuffled about. You Might Get Me Tonight and Tragic Girl would get more play if not on sides otherwise occupied fully with live and demo stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mameeshkamowskwoz Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Is there a reasonably high quality and properly sequenced version of Songs From the Black Hole out there anywhere?If anyone doesn't know what it is, it's the originally planned "rock opera" that Pinkerton was supposed to me with tons of tracks cut from what became Pinkerton... I'm sure there's a better explanation, but that's all I've got at 8 am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhcp02 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 There's only random tracks on a few of the rivers' alone albums. I don't think its available anywhere in its entirety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Greenleaf Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I have both versions and did this comparison a few weeks ago. I prefer the MOFI version - it sounds much clearer. The 4LP version was pretty close but had that "tinny/washy" sound going on with the cymbals that once I noticed, I couldn't un-notice.

tonyfranciosa Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 There's only random tracks on a few of the rivers' alone albums. I don't think its available anywhere in its entirety. you can pretty much assemble a complete sequence with all of the official tracks/b-sides and the Rivers demos. I have a version of it on my iPod.

dreamover Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 OK so now I'm having buyer's remorse. As long as it's "close" I guess I'll be happy! don't. if this is true (again, i haven't heard the mofi and think the deluxe sounds great, much better than my older UK pressing), it's worth it for the three extra LPs of material. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Greenleaf Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 OK so now I'm having buyer's remorse. As long as it's "close" I guess I'll be happy! No need for buyers remorse - the 4LP set is worth it for the b-sides and live songs alone (as already pointed out by others). Believe me, the difference is minimal and the 4LP sounds really good, I just wanted to put my two-cents in. $40 for a 4LP set (especially this one) is well worth it. niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
