Sorry if this offends If you did an A/B comparison a few seconds at a time, then, honestly, you're a HUGE nerd. Sorry if that offends. ;-) ...and YES, the original sounds totally different.

fitterhappier Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I owned the original XL version and IMO the difference isn't that noticeable unless you're looking for it purposefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 If you've been listening to one version of the album for years it's pretty noticeable when it's the other one :/ natenomm, thievedrelic and joshman150 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Crosley Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Wait, you guys actually listen to this album? I just wanted one for framing. Also, I would probably be happy with a poorly dubbed tape to CD to vinyl bootleg of this, though I'm very excited about a repress, whatever it is.

Never! I'm at least expecting a VMP exclusive. Will probably jump on every variant, because of the disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Quote My copy arrived today and I was very disappointed with it. I wasn't expecting a 180g press but I was expecting a bit more than this. It's probably the thinest record I own. I'm not sure if it's because of this or some other reason to do with the pressing but the surface noise on it is very noticeable and nearly unbearable. I kinda wish I never bought it and waited out for a better repress as this seems very hastily thrown together. Someone on Reddit said this. What are everyone else's experiences? I haven't gotten one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin, pretty damn noisey, and arrived from Germany with perhaps the worst ringwear I've ever seen on a new record. They sealed that thing on the "Botox" setting.

Derek™ Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You guys are breaking my heart. I was going to dismiss DOMAN's quote with classic "lol Rebbit" logic, but hearing a VC regular confirm it as well is really disheartening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalenforcer Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hopefully myself and Redditman are outliers, curious to hear from more people. Didn't the blue repress from way back when have noise issues as well? I thought I had seen some complaints about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musig Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) I just picked up my copy today from my local in Australia and playing through it now. There are definitely points with some fairly minimal noise, but otherwise it's a pretty sound pressing in my view. I wouldn't let bad reviews like that put you off buying it! EDIT: Just now noticing that all of the noise seems to be during the track transitions. Even during the more quiet sections (such as 'Tonight May Have to Last Me') background noise is entirely absent on my copy. There is a substantial amount during some of the transitions however Edited July 28, 2016 by musig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know too much about how records are mastered and pressed, but having noise limited to transitions, exclusively, seems like it could be a mixing / mastering error. Part of me doubts they used new plates for this press, though, so I really don't know what to think. Noisy transitions aside, how are the samples? Are they vastly different from the standard copy most folks have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked this up at Reckless in Chicago and although the well known samples are back in it (i.e. Frontier Psychiatrist), the transitions between tracks are a bit static-y. I cleaned the record and double checked my stylus to make sure. Solid pressing otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unique Antics Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Earlier this year, the Avalanches returned with their first new album in 16 years, Wildflower. Now, they’ve announced the reissue of their seminal debut album, 2000’s Since I Left You, on vinyl. The reissue is out January 27 via Astralwerks. It will be available on standard black vinyl and a limited edition of 5,000 colored vinyl, which is exclusive to independent record stores. Before the release of the reissue, fans can vote on the color (either red, blue, clear, or gold) they’d like to see the limited edition vinyl pressed on, and pledge the local record store they want the vinyl stocked at. You can vote here. The winning color will be revealed on November 29. natenomm, lethalenforcer and EHughes527 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethereal Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I wonder if the XL reissues were a last ditch effort on their license... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Blue is the only color that makes any sort of sense. I own an OG but I'll probably grab this one for my play copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
