timsimmons Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I Not quite, MOV use Record Industry. They are quite excellent at what they do. Plain used Rainbo who have a very shaky reputation. Each pressing I own where they've been involved have been awful. I just meant more in terms of dubious sourcing of desired albums in need of a repress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpig Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have both the red limited and the standard black editions of this and they sound roughly the same. I wouldn't say they're bad but suffer for trying to put too much on each side. It was an example of trying to have your cake and eat it. I can live with the sound, it's not awful but you are right, it's not comparable with other Record Industry pressings. They could have dropped the etching and spread the thing out, or they could have ditched some tracks, I think losing the etching would have been worth the sacrifice all in all. Thanks for that, its not just my ears then! I agree that it could have done without the etched side. I did own the original pressing at one point (AntAcidAudio maybe? Purple/orange discs) and even on coloured vinyl it sounded superb, and thats why I was slightly disappointed with the sound on this release (and the fact they dropped bonus track 'Infinity' which is a great early QOTSA song).

828321 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yeah, it's on AAA. I'd love to see this gang do the Faith No More albums. I wasn't fond of the Mofi remaster itself but the pressing was top quality. I'd like a new remaster, one that doesn't turn the vocals way up, increase the pitch and turns the guitars down. Mofi went the wrong way about it in my view. I'd like to see a good cutting engineer handle it and for Record Industry press it on 2xLP with the bonus tracks and for the first time ever with the lyrics fixed. I don't think Rhino who are in charge of the catalogue at the moment would permit that - it's a pity. Also I'd like to see King For A Day get another vinyl outing. in fact a well made box by a good pressplant all remastered including their first album would be most welcome. If Record Industry applied the same finishing skills for it as they did with Pearl jam's Binaural or MSP's Lifeblood then the thing would off to a good start.

derrickcook19941 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I'd like to see someone repress blue by third eye blind or better yet do a first pressing of out of the vein since we're on the subject of 90s reissues. I feel like that wouldn't be too hard to get done if you don't tell the band and just go straight to the label? Ahaga amnstypls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear801 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Speaking of 90s reissues I need to add that MOV's Afghan Whigs "1965" is one of the best sounding records I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Bump Are there other sites that sell this labels' releases? I am looking for the new MOV Incubus releases and I have already checked SoundStageDirect and I think the ones they sell are the RSD Numbered ones or either the Un-Numbered ones. I wish that MOV just sold directly from their site. I am thinking that maybe these records just aren't available yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I wouldn;t get your hopes up just yet as the reissue of Generation terrorists went to the lamentable GZ Digital Media. I was surprised that it sounded as good as it did albeit towards the end of ach side things started to get very ropey with quite a lot of distortion. If I am right and their next plan is for a Gold Against The Soul reissue, it's likely to go to GZ as well and the next album of course is THB, so it'sd not set in stone but it looks like MSP are now looking towards the Czech republic for cheap reissues rather than to Holland where the quality is more assured. Not quite, MOV use Record Industry. They are quite excellent at what they do. Plain used Rainbo who have a very shaky reputation. Each pressing I own where they've been involved have been awful. To be fair, I don't think it's the Manics' call as to where the stuff is pressed, but I'll be happy to have a non pic disc version regardless of where it's pressed. Honestly, I'd love it if they pressed the US/Canadian mix, 'cause i know they've gone on record saying that even THEY were wowed by that alternate mix, and they were pissed about the previous remixes of their stuff for the North American market.

I'm wanting to pick up one of MOV's new reissues, The Raveonettes' "Pretty in Black". Its not on SoundStageDirect yet, but I'm hoping to get one of the first 1000, which is on pink/black marble vinyl. Is SoundStageDirect good at getting these limited first so-and-so versions?

kannibal Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 They usually have a descent sized stock of the limited colors, while they last, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numanoid Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 So the Raveonettes release should be available from Sound Stage Direct on color? I'm definitely interested in this as well. This release probably needs it's own thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The Manics album, Everything Must Go? This makes me sad. I need to re buy KYE, FD and and I need to grab EMG for the Manics collection along with TIMTTMY. Had to purge KYE and FD for now since I have the 1st pressings and I needed money. I'm waiting for Sony to license out The Holy Bible so there can finally be a non-picture disc version. Forever Delayed from MOV sounds awful. That's why I'm laughing at all the posts praising this company. They're erratic at best.... Some winners, but a lot of releases that should have NEVER seen the light of day. I went ahead and picked up GT since it's from a different label. But after hearing about the other Manics issues on MOV, I had to pass on all of them after getting burned with FD. Maybe a better company will re-reissue them down the line. (Ideally with the original analog masters.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtcb Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 All the releases I have from MOV sound fantastic. I've got some AiC, MJ, Crash Test Dummies and a couple others, all of which sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
