nothingnatural Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Good job! Want a cookie? Want to hit me with another tired and overused question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwgncpr Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 listened to my copies last night. Electra is flawless and sounds gorgeous. So stoked to have a copy of this finally, and in such awesome condition. My YPAA would be perfect except for one skip on side A which causes the record to hang in the same place, like a locked groove. Otherwise the thing is flat, clean and sounds great.

somethingvinyl Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 If mine is fucked up, I'll probably unload for cost on here. Nothing more annoying than a skip on a record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 This thing skipped a couple times. Feeling the grooves, tons of tiny paper and whatever else stuck. Took some cleaning.I might be preaching to the choir, but did you guys really try to clean after you heard a skip? I could get all of the gunk out just spraying a solution and wiping with my brush and cloth.Mine is wobbly as hell too, but I'm listening in my office with a cheap TT and it still sounds pretty good. Might play better on my nicer TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindovermatter Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I have tried each time these became available without even so much as getting a copy into my cart. Then today, I managed to snag both without any issues. HUZZAH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Loyd Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Fml for confusing central with pacific time. This is what happens when your kid wakes you up at 3 am and you cant fall asleep for the next 3 hrs only to have to have to wake up an hour after you do finally do fall back asleep.

mcpherson123 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'm extremely temped to try again. I can't stand that 98% of others got perfect or near perfect copies and mine sucks. Unfortunately, I had no clue these had gone up again yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greekroflz Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 So pissed I missed it again... Does anyone know if they were planning on releasing anymore copies in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Has anyone with faulty records tried emailing Matt and/or cleaning their records? Cleaned it but never emailed him. I figure with his disclaimer its pretty much understood that you get what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Loyd Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but what's the source of these? Master Analog tape or digital? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdesign Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but what's the source of these? Master Analog tape or digital? They are originals, so I'd go with MA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I actually emailed Matt about this a while back and he said this: sadly, while recorded to analog tape, this record was mixed to DAT. Thatwas the technology of the time and the only mixdown solution available tous in that particular studio at that particular time. Unlike my studio,which is entirely analog, right down to the toilets. peace,mt David Loyd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steventangent Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 now I want to see an example of a digital toilet. Digital toilets are a lot cleaner, but they seem cold. firefoxUSSR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robobob Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Got my records in today! The prints are awesome, as I suspected. Listened to You'd Prefer An Astronaut and the only minor imperfections I've noticed is a small pop at the beginning of Stars and a few pops in the quiet parts of the last song, Songs of Farewell and Departure. Not anything to fret over, and perhaps a good cleaning would take care of it. Pretty blown away by the sound quality to be honest. Gonna spin Electra next, will report back! thesecrets0308 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Anyone want to trade ? I attempted to get these several times right when they went up but missed out every time . PM me if you can help . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdesign Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 The prints were available at Pitchfork at Jay Ryan's booth but they were $30. Couldn't justify that when the LP and print was $35. I'm glad I got at least one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really like to be able to get my hands on that one and Downward. I remember reading somewhere about Earth Analog label selling these but I checked before and they were sold out. Am I correct in understanding that there has been multiple "batches" of these that have become available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
