overture Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I have ordered multiple copies from amazon.com, amazon.ca and amazon.de. It would be good to know if there are differences between the USA and euro presses, so I would know which two should I cancel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Just saw this pop up at jbhifi online in Australia. Says its Ltd heavy weight vinyl + cd. $49 though! That's expensive for them. Wonder why. Would this be the same version as amazon do you think? http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/music/alternative/valtari-vinyl-cd/666886 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natealcatraz Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I kinda regret not going to the listening party at my record store. Some girl won Valtari test press, Hvarf/Heim, and some custom print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy...the janitor Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I was at the listening party for this in Santa Cruz and I totally won a test press of the album! Then my girlfriend won the RSD release! We also got posters. We were also the only ones there for the party. HELLS YES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnatural Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 i went to a listening party for this tonight in Charleston. pretty cool We had one at the shop I work at tonight. A dude won the RSD pressing of Hvarf-Heim as well as a test pressing. I'm assuming the test is of the new album but I'm not 100% sure about that.

tevyekarch Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I went to a listening party tonight and won a test press of this. Not sure if I want to keep it, trade it, or sell it. There are bigger Sigur Ros fans out there than me so we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickydenim Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 You lucky son's of bitches! I would kill for a test press. Or just the album in general. My local store has it listed for $50...ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your store has the test press or the general release for $50? And I am considering trading mine. I'll create a separate thread if I do.

mortenso Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Pre-ordered the more expensive Capitol version from the UK, rather than XL Recordings one after the way they fucked up "Inni". Worst pressing I've heard in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Was that the 180g one? I think that's what we got here in Aus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 to those of you who heard the test pressing (in the US): how did it sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theinkd Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 if anyone wants to sell/trade their test press please let me know. i went to a listening party last night and didn't win but it was still awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortenso Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Was that the 180g one? I think that's what we got here in Aus. If you mean "Inni" XL's version was a 3lp (unsure of the weight). Valtari seems to be a triple from Capitol and a double from XL (150g). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 the UK version is not a triple, it's a double with a cd. what i don't understand is, isn't capitol the US label of parlaphone? why would capitol be doing the UK version? edit: apparently it is actually parlaphone.

cymbalism15 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 to those of you who heard the test pressing (in the US): how did it sound? Unbelievable. I went to a listening party at my local store in Orlando and it was awesome. Only bad part was the guy who won the test pressing couldn't name the band.

futre Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 In case anyone missed the Valtari Hour... Thanks mate, just finished listening I wasn't very impressed, though. But SR never has been a band who hits at first listen, so I'm not worried.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
