mpitts Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Man I hope that's accurate. I'm foaming at the mouth at the thought of owning this. I promise I'm not bragging, but you should be. The box set and albums all look awesome and sound perfect. My only issue is how the box opens. I am not going to keep the records in the box because I can see repeated opening and closing (which I guarantee will happen with me and these records) would cause the two parts of the box to rip apart. Plus, the box is embossed and constant sliding in and out against anything will definitely scar it up. It was a deal at the $135 I paid for it. If I was casually shopping and saw this in a record store, I would have gladly paid $300+ for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebistro Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I've said this before, but I'm glad I got mine for $106. Record Theater in Buffalo gives 20% off on Saturdays from 10-12. So even though it was priced at $132.99, I got a sick deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have preferred a slip case or even traditional box, but I agree this thing is so nicely done and worth much more than the $139 price I paid.

yocaseycasey Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 If this goes up today, I will be at work. No computer. Damn.If anyone is feeling extra awesome and wants to buy me a copy, I can Paypal this evening when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this in another thread, but mine already has a tear in it just from opening it the few times I did on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 God dammit, just got around to listening to some of these, and they have horrible surface noise throughout each side of almost every record. So disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 God dammit, just got around to listening to some of these, and they have horrible surface noise throughout each side of almost every record. So disappointing. Could it be because you held each record up to your mouth for selfies? (bummer..)

Shinji Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 But I do have to say that the records that don't have surface noise sound incredible, so that makes up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axisrecapital Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I still haven't see the email come out about being able to purchase this from them directly. Apparently the term "shortly" is more than 24 hours, which is news to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinji Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 One more thing, I must say that this is probably the coolest looking record that I own, and I haven't seen too many photos of the records themselves but this looks quite a bit different than some others I have seen.

Shinji Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 You guys are lucky! It's only the translucent records that have any issues, all of the opaque ones have no noise at all. I emailed them that I would be more than happy to pay for some replacements, but even to me that seems laughable at this point in time.

Shinji Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Turntable? Nah, I've got a nice Carbon (tone-arm/weight is set up properly) with awesome speakers and preamp and I clean all of my records and the needle before each side I play. It truly is a problem with the records, it's at the beginning of all of the translucent records and kind of fades away until the last song of each side only has slight noise. Prolonging the Magic sounds incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinji Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Could it be because there is a lot of music on each LP? I was just wondering how they got these to sound so good with so much music on them! But honestly, the same shit happened to a bunch of other botched pressings of records I've got, this just so happens that it's only mine (so far anyways), something is probably in the grooves that can't be cleaned, at least by my cleaner. The Devil & God comes to mind, my copy came with a big visual smudge on it that wouldn't come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derby625 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I was able to snag a copy off eBay Saturday for a reasonable BIN offer (it was the cheapest one I've seen so far on the secondary market) and can't wait for it to arrive. Who knows how the online sale will go through the band. I know if I was to miss that (which due to life/work taking priority is likely) the secondary market would be even more crazy and I would have regretted not grabbing one earlier.

Shinji Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 And after listening to the majority of these, it's really only the first two albums (Motorcade & Fashion Nugget) that have any problems after all, so maybe they did keep some replacement copies. Sorry for the ranting, but I had to tell someone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I've listened to half of these so far (Fashion, Pressure, Comfort, and Live) and the sound quality is excellent. ajhall04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
