mrrom92 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 the problem with the crosleys is that they don't have counter weights. they are more likely to skip on records cause there is nothing weighing them down. i would find a tutorial on cleaning vinyl and try giving it a good cleaning, hopefully that helps. That's far from the only problem with them. I don't want to sound like a prick, but my advice is universal - if you care about your records or expect to get any sort of reasonable performance out of them, don't use a crosley. Replace that thing with something cheap but decent. For what it's worth, my pressing was fine, and so was my part 1 but a lot of people did have skipping problems on "Spaceship Coupe". Difficult groove to track, probably the deepest bass on the record. I think I still like part 1 more. 2 just isn't growing on me. Meh.

withengineheart Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 It's basically the exact same two records you can buy individually but packaged in a fancy schmancy gold box. Not sure if the standard versions have the gloss lettering on the covers and in the gatefold though. Didn't feel like taking pics of the hype stickers. So yeah, this be it: sorry for the cell phone quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinaRod Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 ALSO in additions to having issues with the vinyl, the download code isn't working either because it's only letting me download part 1 i've just about had it with RCA or whoever put this out I emailed them because I was having the same problem. Supposedly it was fixed. But I had bought both part 1 & 2 and the codes were swapped. So I got both albums in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm. Interesting. The mastering is definitely different. Any noticeable SQ differences between the US/UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound great and both sound the same to me but I'm far from an audiophile.

(Playing on an AT 240 turntable with Ortofon Pro-S thru Pioneer A-20 / 4 Pioneer speakers (sp FS51 towers & BS41 bookshelfs)) That's decent enough to tell if there are any major differences haha. My initial impressions of the part II vinyl was that the cut itself didn't sound as good as part 1 and was a bit midrange-heavy, but I never did any sort of back to back comparison. Might've just been different from what I was expecting to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy...the janitor Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Did anyone ever get an email back about the DL codes? Both of my codes from the Target LPs were for part 2. I emailed, but haven't heard anything. Or does anyone have an extra Part 1 code that are willing to part with? PM me if so. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Being that this Justin Timberlake album is Sony, it seems like there is a EU press and a US press. In my comparisons with albums such as Incubus' "Monuments & Melodies" the EU press was better and was 180 Gram where the US press was standard weight. In general though it seemed like only packaging differences on the Incubus release, is this the same with the Timberlake album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hempy3 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Just an FYI...Target stores marked these on clearance (both 1 & 2) for $8.98 a piece in store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nardes Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Wow. I wondered if this would happen... I've seen most targets near me have 4-5 copies of each still. I guess I just didn't think it'd go to THAT cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 do you know when they did it? i saw these at my local target saturday and they were still $30. i even double checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetJerryWine Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If anybody can get these at $10 or less, please pick me up a copy of both parts 1 and 2, and I'll reimburse you for both, shipping to Canada, and a bit extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
