would be interested to hear from anyone who's been able to pick one up today in a store about sound quality compared to the original... considering picking this up as a play copy, but I remember people saying the sound quality of reissues of like dookie and others was not so hot so i kinda want to wait. do we think this is in real danger of selling out quick? i'm still hoping my store gets it in so i can avoid paying shipping.

so far all of the subsequent presses after the reissues have been the same reissue sound quality. wouldnt surprise me if this is the same. not thats its bad...just mastered wayyy lower in volume

soooo travis whens nimrod!? nudge nudge wink wink

He already hinted about more material, I promise bothering him won't speed things up. He knows what he's doing

I grabbed a copy of this today. Very nice in my opinion. The blue looks great and it includes a lyric sheet.

I don't have an original pressing so i can't compare to that. I do however have a copy of the dookie reissue and i can say the sound quality on this is much better then dookie. I didn't notice any surface noise and unlike dookie, this had a much more "full" sound and wasn't nearly as quiet sounding. Very happy with this release. Hope that helps.

Great news, thanks. I guess I didn't realize there've been previous reissues of this like there've been of dookie (and several at that). Travis will there be any additonal stores receiving this? Albany wasn't on the last list I saw. I hate paying shipping but I don't wanna miss the boat.

hahah no shit...he hinted at it weeks ago but couldnt say anything more at the time. i understand that. now that time has passed, i figured id hint again at it. i dont think i was bothering him nor understating his work...it was just a question

I think thats it, I can check again Monday

hmm, that's a bummer. it's not like GD has stayed in stock in Albany (I know bc i've bought most of it for myself and friends haha) so i wonder why we got skipped here on a somewhat sureshot record (insomniac obviously is more popular than Uno or Dos, at least so far).

thanks though, guess i'll just hope for sales online friday and grab it then

The original pressing is definitely better sounding than this reissue. There's a noticeable difference, although the reissue doesn't sound bad.

today's sale convinced me it was worth it. i was on the edge for $22, but now i wish i had picked up dookie on green, and i will watch out for nimrod on yellow (i mean i'm assuming here but i think we all know it's in the works).

speaking of... if anyone have a copy of HT's dookie on green they wanna sell or trade, shoot me a PM. I'm bummed i missed it, from a collection standpoint. it's probably even in some stores.
