monsterrod Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Already sold out it would seem. On a side note, "candle wax" better not mean "white" or I'm gonna be bummed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Blatant cash grab or not, I am glad I ordered the 4 pack when I did. I really dog these albums and I know I'd be kicking myself if I missed out on these. Thanks for the pic, ptrsev! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tak3n0prisoner5 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 i never in time for any rarest of repress.... :-/ DEC 10th and important info for all vinyl suckers: What is the audio on Earache's vinyl re-issues cut from? Is it re-mastered from the original tape or is it the same lacquer used on the original pressing?from [email protected] Answer: Thanks for the great question Jase. We recently re-issued the first 4 Morbid Angel albums on gatefold LP wax, and the audio for them simply comes from the CD. Earache does keep an archive of original analogue tapes and we also keep some metalwork (Mothers) used in making the original vinyl but sad to say, its just not practical to use them to produce new vinyl in 2011. For this reason the new LPs do sound slightly different to the original editions which were created using an all analogue signal path back in the day. Analogue audio is a very temperamental format- playback of old tapes from the era is a real chore, that is if you can still find the right kind of tape player in the first place! Unless the exact speed, settings, EQ and other controls are set exactly like in the past -ie on the day of the original mastering session - the resulting audio coming off the tapes can be pretty unfamiliar. I've mentioned in the past on this blog how we attempted to release a "re-mastered from the original tapes" version of Morbid Angel back when we last did a re-issue campaign, but scrapped the idea because it sounded so different. I really should dig those tapes out and post em here. Another wrinkle in the process is that few vinyl pressing plants still exist these days- something like 75% of all European wax is made by one plant- GZ in Czech Republic - who prefer delivery of audio files over the internet, a fact which would shock the audiophile all-analog purist crowd. The main reason for using the CD to make the wax is not the convenience but familiarity. Many thousands of copies have been sold in the 2 decades since release, so that is the sound that fans are used to, we'd get complaints if the vinyl sounded any different I think. Newer Earache bands released in recent years don't have that kind of 'familiarity problem'. Hence Earache does aim to release all its newer vinyl as close to the original studio sound as possible - we go to great lengths to ban any digital FX added in the mastering process for vinyl. Our mastering engineer performs 2 mastering sessions, one for LP with emphasis on maintaining the studio dynamics, and one for CD/digital with a touch of EQ and compression for a tad of loudness. I should point out that Earache is not into the Loudness War and we master our Cds carefully, not brickwalled to the max. http://askearache.blogspot.com/2011/08/where-does-audio-for-earaches-vinyl-lp.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tco Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Dude, this is massive. I wonder how much? I think the original PO price was £65 ? for the last 4 /100 releases, so maybe around £70, does suck that this has happened so close after the last releases though. Be good if they did something similar with Carcass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
