openupyourskull Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 They had three copies at Newbury Comics the other day for $50. It was nice to look it over in hand but I just didn't feel like spending that much money on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It sounds great as is. A 2 LP at 45 RPM would be like 50-$60 and even more people would be complaining lol. Not me. Ill pay extra for top notch quality. Hopefully someday they consider it with all their albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thieves Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 2lp just means 2x a chance of something being wrong and any scratches occuring that many more times per minute. 23 minute sides are perfectly fine. i'd be more angry if i got a 2lp that had two songs per side.

thieves Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 i grew up on a single lp copy of stereolab's 'emperor tomato ketchup' that sounded great. the sides are 30 minutes long each. more lps =/= better than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was basically my main point of emphasis anyways. Also, many would disagree (myself included) that cramming as much music as possible onto 1 side of a record is ever a good thing.Just so we're clear, Ive never said this pressing doesnt sound good. Ive always maintained it could be better, which I think most will find hard to argue.

lexicondevil Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Holding out has its rewards! Yeah, wish I held out. The MBV is a very good album and I just spun it again, but now I am listening to "Distressor" by Whirr and thinking this is kinda better. Sacrilege, I know.

Derek™ Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I enjoy Whirr more than MBV's latest. We'll take them all on. nelso330 and lexicondevil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, wish I held out too. Oh well, saved money by holding out for Mondo's US version of the Drive soundtrack so I guess its just a wash financially.

azvd Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Got my LP in the mail yesterday. I was expecting a bigger box but yeah, the LP was loose inside of it but it arrived in pristine condition. The combo LP + CD + lossless files ended up at a fair price, I mean, if I had to order it from US we'd be talking about a $26 shipping to begin with. And they could have designed a sturdier gatefold, I agree. Only downside of the whole deal. Beautiful music, great artwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 normally i wouldn't care about a damaged jacket but they totally screwed up in shipping these. also i feel like the jacket was a crappy thin cardboard, almost bootleg-like. well i just got my replacement cover and it's a much nicer, glossier cardboard. glad i complained.

I think the UK press sounds fantastic though and now that I have my new jacket, I'm more than happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
