saxonviolons Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 ^Please post the 2012 internet guidelines you follow so strictly, then maybe we won't have to get a post like yours every 5 pages. It cracks me up that people complain about the content of threads. I mean if people are talking about gorilla farts and ceiling fans sure, bitch and moan. As long as the post is referring to something Smashing Pumpkins, who gives a flying fuck. I signed the petition, but am iffy about if we'll get any results. derrickcook19941 and jetsfan4ever80 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holland623 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 did anyone order one of the bundles off of the pumpkins' website? my shipping status hasn't updated since I placed the order on December 5... It was supposed to ship on 12/17... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I thought about starting a petition too but then I realized I had a life and better things to worry about. skidroje, crapforgenius and youspinmeround 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iron666monkey Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 ..like typing out that useless post? No, like signing a useless petition. People that sign this are what's wrong with the world. Will start a petition for a record....not a real cause. Blows my mind. That being said. I think the box set is crucial and I have ZERO to complain about.

benjo09 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 See even you're complaining about zero. There must be something wrong with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 An internet petition in this situation seems a lot more useful than a "real cause." I mean, we're just trying to get a band's attention, not help make some sort of legislative decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamoney Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 For anyone who missed out on getting this cheap: The first copy I received from Amazon was shipped without a box, just a shipping label stuck to the shrink wrap. Naturally, it arrived kinda messed up. There is some wear on some of the edges where the shrink wrap was cut, and one cut on the front of the box on the edge of the opening (where the records slide-in). Now, instead of returning it to Amazon I figured I would offer it cheap to someone here who doesn't care if the box is a little wonky. Everything inside the box is okay, minus some wear in one part of each record jackets spine. I'll offer it up for $29 plus shipping. PM if interested. Pictures available if requested.

saxonviolons Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Spun it on my linear tracker and it ate Zero for breakfast. (Ie. sounded awesome!) Out of curiosity did you buy it on Amazon? If so, is it a .ca or .com copy? I have 2 of these now. One I bought on my own on .ca because it was dirt cheap, and one I got for Christmas from .com, so I'm trying to figure out which one I should break the seal on, as it would be really nice for my Zero to sound good on my TT. Can't decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestraightedge Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 So I finally got time to listen to this. I didn't notice the distortion in Zero until probably the last 10 or 15 seconds of the song and yeah it did get pretty noticeable but hardly unlistenable, maybe my copy isn't as bad as others? It kind of confuses me how a record that was originally on 3LPs (which sounded fine) that was extended to 4LPs for a reissue encounters this problem. Regardless I'm really happy with the whole box set, the art is beautiful and it was worth every penny. Only thing that blew my mind was that Amazon just slapped a shipping label on the actual product and shipped it like that in no actual box. My mind was blown further when I looked it over and there was only a little scuff on each of the corners. Someone at Amazon's warehouse goofed up there I'd say.

saxonviolons Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 ^^^Crybabies because they got a crappy product they paid a good amount of money for? are you aware that amazon doesnt make records, they just sell them Both .ca and .com got copies sent to them, did they not? And if you've noticed, some people have commented how their .ca copy doesn't have an audio problem on Zero, while others have mentioned that their .com copy does. Nobody mentioned any fucking thing about amazon making records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marblesmike Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I put on a new cartridge last night--the Nagoaka MP-110. I got the awful distortion on Zero with the new cart. It was late and I had just got home from 11 hours of travel so I'm sure I need to align it better. But I still think it's funny that one cart handles it very well while the other gets the symptoms listed by everyone here. It seems to confirm my thoughts that while the album could have easily been cut better, the distortion is caused by equipment issues. This isn't the first time this has happened either with so-called audiophile vinyl releases. I remember the 35th anniversary vinyl repress of Dark Side of the Moon had a similar issue. Some people played it back great while others got awful noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 this is contact information for the people who did the mastering. Stan Getz is the guy's name. Maybe people need to flood their inbox and tell them to test the vinyl on some under $1000 cartridges. http://www.arrecords.com/contactus.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Posting this again. If they at least put a second thought into having Stan Getz master the next reissue, I think we'll have accomplished something.
