kidamnesiac Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I've actually gotten in the habit of laying gatefolds flat against the ground and sliding it in, so that I can control depth. That practice is a good one to when it comes to banging sluts. +1Was waiting for someone to take the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pibbals Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Worst: Record has songs completely out of order. CD version of Potemkin City Limits? Fine Vinyl? Nope. I always forget where Rock For Sustainable Capitalism is on those two records, and I want to listen to just that song at least once a week it seems, and I can never find it.

swoopdog Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hey I want to ask a question of those who hate white inner sleeves would you pay a little extra for poly lined paper sleeves? No label that has an intention of making their money back selling non-audiophile releases is going to spring for those mofi's but would poly-lined sleeves make everyone a happy duck?

scarnage Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 trying get mud off of vinyl is a super big pain. Big rainstorm here yesterday, lots of splashback happening, been outside with the hose for two hours today and I've cleaned one quarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarnage Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I also think more records should be one sided and have a reversed groove at the end like the Marty Python record, so you don't have to flip them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't speak for everybody, but i do think they would reduce the amount of scratches and smudges that some new presses tend to have.

recordhound1002 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It irks me when they press a double LP....but not gatefold. Same, but it also bothers me when a single LP has gatefold packaging. I second this love tigers jaw Two Worlds Album but no need for gatefold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeneverhome Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 When the name of the band and title are printed facing the wrong way on the spine. It irritates me so much when I'm reading the spines looking for something to play and I come to one that's printed the complete opposite way to all the others. The Gaslight Anthem - '59 Sound and Pianos Become The Teeth - Old Pride are guilty of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbycross Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Records that dont fit correctly in the jacket. Very irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripplemusic Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I don't mind gatefold packaging for single LP's if the art is good, or theirs inner notes, or a pocket for a CD with bonus material. What irks me are 12" albums where one side is music, the other side is blank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripplemusic Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 One more thing, very annoying -- when a 7" vinyl doesn't say if it's 45 or 33 rpm. May not seem like a big deal, but I just reviewed a punk split single and I swear one side is 45 and the other side is 33. Either that or the music is so bad I can't tell what speed it's supposed to be played at. Either way, let me know. 45 or 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't do it intetionally, but I guess because we didn't specifically tell them we wanted one or the other, they cut it based on what they thought was better for each recording.

plasma36 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The 45/33 split speed on the sides is not uncommon, especially among 90's 7"s. The Knapsack/Stuntman 7" is that way, and I've encountered a number of others at my local shop where this is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripplemusic Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Fortunately, the Grey Area/Go Rydell split was damn good. Particularly (to my taste) the Grey Area side. And yes, that one confused me a bit at first also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratmaster2 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 random blotches of colour on your record. like seeing random black spots on your "white" vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixinflight Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 When a band comes out with a new album and it's not available on vinyl. Seriously, I would have bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desolatesounds Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Most of all, simple paper inner sleeves. It's always a pain in the ass when I'm trying to get the vinyl out of them and I hear the paper rubbing against the vinyl. Same goes for printed inner sleeves. A nice insert + poly lined sleeve are way better. When a label presses a dozen different variants of an album but has no proper release site where you can get an overview. Unsuitable/ugly vinyl colors (see Relapses "Purple Opaque" or "Sea Foam Green Opaque"). Covers that are no real covers but thin papers (the 5th pressing of "This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain" or the "B.SON/Crowskin" Split). Same, but it also bothers me when a single LP has gatefold packaging. Why? A nice gatefold is always a win (e.g. the new Omega Massif LP).

flood Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 32 goddamn pressings of Reinventing Axl Rose! No you can't justify that! you can justify it by the fact that its a classic record alot of people want to own. The record grew in popularity slowly, so it was constantly repressed in small batches ... and you can justify it by the fact that they've sold out 31 presses.. and for the most part theres only really a handful of variant collectors on that record that stuck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripplemusic Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 New pet peeve. Spending all day reviewing some really cool records, but none of the labels made it clear which was side A or side B. Come on, help a fella out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriss Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 the A and B side are almost always etched into the run outs on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
