tarzioo_ Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 green bootleg came in. Sounds excellent. I own the picture disk version and this one sounds a lot cleaner. Great deal for those of you still missing out on this soundtrack. I honestly picked up extra copies for gifts in the future, don't know if this one will ever see the light of day again. The jacket, insert vinyl, labels are all printed with beautiful quality, honestly it looks like a japanese official press. Does not scream bootleg at all. Now onto the marie antoinette! Nice! I feel even more excited now! I'm glad I didn't miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillwill Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 the second "City girl" washes over you you'll know that you made the right choice. This press is the real deal. I have never heard the original press, but it's tough to imagine it sounding better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainaldous Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'm sorry, but what the hell are you talking about? Through a wall? What does surround sound have to with how 2-channel recordings are mixed and mastered for vinyl production? Also, equalizers generally don't help sound quality. The volume knob? What? Greatest OSTs of the 2000s?? Alright, that last one was definitely subjective but I'm otherwise convinced you have no idea what you're talking about. whoa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinch Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hey wildflange, since you seem keen on downvoting people calling you out on your BS, why don't you use your audio engineering expertise to enlighten us on how 7.1 surround sound and an equalizer play any kind of a role in improving the quality of sound reproduction from vinyl records. Since, you know, you'd have to use digital processing to send a stereo signal to more than two channels, which greatly reduces sound quality and ruins the cohesion of stereo imaging, soundstage and frequency response and since any use of an equalizer is just a poor attempt at hiding the inadequacies of a hi-fi chain by introducing even more detrimental alterations of the original recording. Also, aren't you the guy who claimed that higher priced turntables like the Rega RP3 are a sham? That it's all aesthetics? Get your ego in line and stop pretending that some imaginary course you might have taken actually gives any weight to the insanities you write. circuit bored records, glass realms and dreamover 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillwill Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 listened to the whole record and I stand by my statement. this copy sounds awesome. I can't imagine the original sounding significantly better, honestly. plus, the whole Japanese press vibe of the record seems to fit the subject matter perfectly. I might try to get the other colors.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCandless Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm in two minds about this. I really want to own it because I love the film, but not sure I can justify over $40 for something I know won't really listen to other than once or twice.
