Cake Vinyl Boxset Coming Soon per RSD 7" sleeve


Recommended Posts

Never forget VC’s valuable contribution to the cluster F by leaking the store link an hour before it was sent to their mailing list (the place the band told everyone the post-RSD pre-order would be). I saw the mailing list link and bought it within 1 minute and I still had to wait several months for the SECOND pressing, since the leaked link had incurred an entire pressing’s worth of sales before we had a chance. Lol. Great memories.

I'll take this moment to quickly remind everyone that the drummer Pete McNeal who played with CAKE from 2001-2004 (never on an album thankfully) is a convicted sex offender against a 3 year old.

 

Carry on.

Some of the reviews I'm reading are claiming the box set didn't sound very good.

Anyone that can elaborate? Please let me know what you are spinning it on for a system too.

I think some of the discs had defects in the pressing but the sound quality is good-to-great.  I didn't have any of those issues, mine was the second round.

My turntable is a ProJect Essential II Digital with the stock cartridge (Ortofon OM-5E).  I just archive my stuff in 24-bit digital cuz you know... dynamic range matters and I don't like wearing down my records.

I have the RSD first press version. I'm running a project debut III carbon with a 2mblue. The records sound fine. I had an issue with one record, Prolonging the Magic I think, there seems to be an issue with one song where it makes a loud bump like there is a scratch but there is no visible damage. They sent a replacement and it had the same issue. They sent another replacement from the second press and it had the same issue....so I gave up. It must have been a problem with the plates they used, or a problem with the cut.

 

I'm quite satisfied with the sound and quality otherwise.

Thanks for the review! Sounds like it's not so bad then.

What happened to those other 2 copies of Prolonging the Magic?

One I sold on discogs and the other I gave to a friend.
 

Prolonging the Magic is the record they pressed in the wrong colour for the second run. That's the defining difference between the first run and second run. I think all the other records were pressed in the correct colour (but I haven't seen them to know for sure). I know this because of the multiple copies I was shipped.
