soundofsulfur Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 A few stores have put up a pre-order for the new 180g pressing of Californication. According to Elusive Disc, the vinyl was cut by Bernie Grundman. Anybody heard anything else about this? The original pressing sounded as bad as the CD did, so I'm hoping they did a decent remaster for this. http://www.elusivedisc.com/prodinfo.asp?number=WEALP47386 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwgncpr Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 anyone able to confirm if this is remastered or not? The original is mastered for crap and suffers from clipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daysaves Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 $36.99 for a 2xLP is ridiculous. Hopefully someone gets them at a more reasonable price because I'd like a copy of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pre-ordered it last night 8 minutes before the IVWT 17% off sale ended, got it for $29 shipped. Still pricey, but better than the competitors. I'm also wondering if they'll do an RSD release for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daiei Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Here's a taste of what it sounds like. No idea how to judge from that clip. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this be a remaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travislopes Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 No idea how to judge from that clip. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this be a remaster. If you want a sample from another area on the album, just say which. Here's a sample of This Velvet Glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundofsulfur Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 It's labelled as "Limited Edition 180 Gram Vinyl". The inner sleeves are polylined, a lot like the I'm With You record. No surface noise on this new press, I feel like my older pressing had more pops and surface noise in general--so that's a huge plus for this reissue. As for the mastering, it's definitely quieter than the CD master and may even be quieter than the previous pressing. Definitely a step up from the previous issue.

jb412 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 you think this is the same release? http://www.ebay.com/itm/RED-HOT-CHILI-PEPPERS-CALIFORNICATION-2-VINYL-SET-/290798442544?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item43b4f01830 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundofsulfur Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 My guess is it's the previous press. All the retail prices on the new reissue are at least $30, and I doubt someone on ebay can get them cheap enough to sell for $22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, after asking the seller he said it was "the one released this year", which would imply the new Grundman-mastered one. He was selling more than 1 copy, which also helps support my idea that it isn't the original press. So, I bought it - hopefully I just found a good bargain.

achillesstand7 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It's labelled as "Limited Edition 180 Gram Vinyl". Is this a sticker on the cover? Just wondering if there's anything to distinguish this version if I see it at a store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandy Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I just spun this today. And there was repeated skipping in the same part of the LP (chorus of parallel universe and some part of scar tissue). Anyone else have skipping issues with this? EDIT: Seems like the problem's gone after some thorough cleaning... Sorry for the unnecessary bump.
