Tom Delonge's UFO Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Has anyone gotten their shipping notice from Soundstage Direct yet? I haven't gotten mine, maybe I'm just being too antsy for this! MatthewTerbeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skibum00 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I got my notice on Tuesday and tracking said it will be delivered Friday. I live 30 minutes from their warehouse though, don't know if that would make a difference. Tom Delonge's UFO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgPound1946 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Has anyone gotten their shipping notice from Soundstage Direct yet? I haven't gotten mine, maybe I'm just being too antsy for this! Yes, I got mine a few days ago. However, when the Mother Love Bone (purple vinyl) was pre-ordered, I didn't get my shipping notice until like 3 or 4 days after everyone else.... and I know I had to have been one of the first to pre-order... So who knows what their process is. i wouldn't worry about it, you'll get the notice soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeburns Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 First post so hi there everyone! My copy of STP Purple (on purple) arrived yesterday (im in NZ). Sounds great, really clean. Unfortunately mine was slightly warped which is unfortunate but I now own a vinyl flat so hopefully should flatten right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negavinyl Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I got my shipping notice today, though it looks like it was actually mailed out on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungie Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hi all, Just wanted to throw in that my purple copy of Purple arrived today and wow...just WOW. I was on the fence with MOV releases because I'd heard mixed reviews in the past and my copy of Throwing Copper by Live is just horrible. Those fears were laid to rest within the first few seconds of "Meatplow". Absolutely fantastic on my set up (Technics sl1210-m4g / Shure M44-7 / Bellari VP130 pre-amp / Pioneer dsx-d608 / Pioneer sp-f551-lr speakers). Sound so good that I listened to this record again from start to finish for the first time in probably 15 years and it sounded so fresh and new again I can't even begin to describe it other than absolute bliss! The sleeve is super glossy and the insert is really well done. The cover art seems a little blurred (not sure if it's like this on the original?) but looks real nice. The purple vinyl is just pretty as hell. For those of you still waiting, you're in for a real treat! Money well spent. BRING ON CORE!!!

filthyrich Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I wasn't QUITE as blown away as you... But I agree it's a solid pressing. Much better than some other MOV reissues I've heard.I would definitely grab Core if I could find the clear version for around $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Stupid question, is it an opaque purple, or translucent purple like the original pressing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuck Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 It's opaque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlesenator Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Stupid question, is it an opaque purple, or translucent purple like the original pressing? it's opaque, exactly like the original UK pressing. US was translucent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negavinyl Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I got this in today and am also quite pleased. With a stroke of luck, I actually ended up with the Purple version. Pretty good pressing guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avl Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 If anyone needs this on Purple Vinyl, Juno UK still has 4 copies. http://www.juno.co.uk/products/purple-reissue/492656-01/?no_redirect=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyfranciosa Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 This is really nice sounding. If I were a fan of Core, I'd be all over it, but I'll definitely pick up any post-Purple STP they put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 This is really nice sounding. If I were a fan of Core, I'd be all over it, but I'll definitely pick up any post-Purple STP they put out. This. Core hasn't aged well for me, but I'd be all over a Tiny Music repress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeburns Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I expect Tiny Music will be next on the release list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtcb Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Played Purple straight through yesterday and was very impressed. I like this album so much more than Core, but I may pick Core up anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mameeshkamowskwoz Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 When I was in middle/high school I thought Core was one of the best albums ever (I also liked Korn and Limp Bizkit, however) but at this point I think Tiny Music is my fave with Purple a close second.I still like Core and 4 is ok, but I didn't bother after that.

zachblows Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 this pressing sounds pretty huge! out of curiosity I hit up MOV as to what they used for the source and was pretty happy with the response I received "We received 192 KHZ / 24 BIT files of the analogue tape of Stone Temple Pilots - Purple." so im assuming the photos on the insert are the of the analog tape they were sent. my only gripe with this release would be the over saturated cover art but hey i'll take that over shit sound any day!!!

milesw Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hi guys, Core is now available for pre-order at Music Record Shop! Following the recent reissue of Purple, Core is also being reissued on transparent color vinyl this time featuring an etched D side. Pressed by Music on Vinyl, this should be a top quality vinyl reissue of the boys' epic debut album. The double LP contains all 12 songs from the original album.Can't wait to review it Here's the link for pre-orders http://www.musicrecordshop.com/Stone-Templ...R/dp/B00DOQBWX6-Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
