moliver8 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I need the colored version. Does anyone want to sell? I would be happy to buy/trade. PM me and let me know if you are willing to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrospectacle Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 The order status for my colored vinyl just changed to "shipped" this morning! Can't freakin' wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I never really got fully into FL and I always dug what I heard but that colored version is so sick, I can't even believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I wish they would take the colored version down already so I don't keep thinking they will have more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafmx Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 does everyone realize the colored version of the boxset was only available from the band's website store yet?? ??? : no one should have even received a copy if they ordered it yet, people just started mentioning that it shipped.

atarirec Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 perhaps it's only for the colored edition... not numbered. no promo stickers on the shrinkwrap. anyone notice the text on the lip of inside the box? and yes... i'm in awe of the colored vinyl. mine looks a bit more marbled/splattered. i've read that some who ordered the colored edition received black copies of "Transmissions...." rather than white. i'm not a fan of white vinyl... but this one is amazing...

Oddly enough, you're right - not numbered and no RSD sticker. I don't really care about the sticker but would've liked to have a numbered copy for sure.

surfingelectrode Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'm glad they numbered the black version but not the colored. It makes it so that both of the sets are special in their own ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itmustbereal Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I just opened my box (black vinyl) from RSD last night. I listened to "Hit to Death" through "Clouds" and they all look and sound wonderful. I plan on finishing it up tonight. Great set overall.

Yes, all were on colored vinyl except Transmissions. I emailed Warner Bros. and they are going to replace it with a white version after I send the black back.

bobfrombob Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I got a white Transmissions. Just to echo everyone else, this is a wonderful set. Nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfingelectrode Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 It looks like most/all of the colored copies of Clouds Taste Metallic in the box set are defective to varying degrees and have constant surface noise on every rotation. If you have a copy of the colored box set, could you listen to yours and let me know how it is? It looks like WB was at first offering a $10 refund or telling people to ship back the whole box at their own expense for a refund, but now they're saying this: "Dear Flaming Lips Fan: We apologize, but the distortion sounds are in the original master tapes and we produced the best quality recording we could. Sincerely, Warner Bros Records Online Customer Support" Which is total bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarirec Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 on "clouds taste metallic" there is some surface noise which is barely audible on my copy, thoroughly listened to via headphones and thru the loud speakers. upon reading your comment (surfingelectrode), i wanted to listen to the highs and lows (good example would be "bad days")... i have no complaints. better than the original green translucent vinyl... while the pressing of this set would not be considered "audiophile quality" in my opinion, i could honestly say that i am quite pleased with the sound quality of all the albums... to say the least. prime example of a flaming lips "audiophile quality" recording and a decent quality recording would be the two versions of "at war with the mystics", one on "180 gram high performance vinyl".... and the other on colored. i did purchase both versions and the difference is quite obvious... i no longer have the colored version. overall, i give the colored version of the heady nuggs box set a 9 out of 10. 10 would have included zaireeka, but that's another story... as for that response from the brothers at Warner... i agree 100%. bullshit.
