Damn you Plain Recordings! Your taste in music is excellent! Too bad you don't use the master tapes to press your vinyl...or really have much quality control at all...

That Disco Violante by Mr. Bungle pressing they did was quiet on the music thanks to cramming 70+minutes on one disc, and a NOISY pressing! Their Mazzy Star and Elliott Smith represses were lackluster as well...

sigh...

Yeah, all of their Mr. Bungle presses were like that.

That's a damn shame. I love all 3 albums and would love to own all of them, but gave up after Disco Violante. Guess it's a good thing I did.

California sounds ok IMO

On my copy, i have to turn it up to twice the level i do for other albums. When i do, it sounds fine, it's just mastered really quietly.

Same here. I just do a 24-bit 96khz transfer to my mac anyway, so I just record it extra high, then digitally remove any clicks/groove noise. Voila!

That said, the sound of it is not particularly impressive as I might expect. Supposedly California was even intentionally recorded in analogue. I also read that California is supposed to have the most complicated arrangements and many layers. I digress, this is wikiconjecture.

Speaking of Plain, I see much negativity about their Elliott Smith releases. I've been considering XO & Figure 8, thoughts on those two anyone?
