Dominic_ Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Guys overseas are starting to get them. A few on stevehoffman are saying the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired. This long wait may lead to a huge letdown. http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/new-black-crowes-reissue-vinyl-coming.330500/page-16 I will march down there and kill whoever mastered it if so.

russtcb Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Read through a couple pages of those reviews. Still hoping they sound decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stravinsky Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 This doesn't sound good at all. I really don't want $75 worth of albums that sound as bad as has been reported... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdz68 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Wow.....I will take the chance and listen myself. If they sound bad they will be returned. Ordered these on Amazon January 11,2014 and all but 3 snakes and charm will be shipping this week apparently. The damn preorder was so old I forgot I used a gift card on them! Fingers crossed and hopefully southern companion is better than the last press which sounds horrid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdoggy Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Southern Harmony shipped last night. Should have it tomorrow. Fingers crossed it sounds better than the Plain pressing I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhenrecords Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Got shipping notification for Southern Harmony and Amorica. Hope they don't suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdoggy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 The first 3 all have shipped for me now. There are more positive sounding reviews of the US copies on stevehoffman now. russtcb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 No clue what the whining was about, Shake Your Money Maker sounds fine. I'll report back on the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webdoggy Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I've only spun Amorica, but it sounds great by my ears. My only complaint is it would have been nice to get some gatefold sleeves on the double LPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 My Southern Harmony doesn't sound amazing. I also got two A discs :c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I don't think the remaster is the issue, I think it was just digitally sourced and compressed and they didn't have much to work with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russtcb Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Haven't had much time over the last few days, but I got time to spin Side 1 of both Southern Harmony and Amorica. Both sound wonderful to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sound wonderful to me. Give it another listen. You sure it doesn't sound compressed? There's no dynamic range on any of mine and I doubt I got unlucky four times in some freak mastering incident. Everything is at the same volume in the mix, nothing pops out like it should.

There's no dynamic range on any of mine and I doubt I got unlucky four times in some freak mastering incident. Everything is at the same volume in the mix, nothing pops out like it should. I listened to Side 1 of both twice. Once at low volume, once at a higher volume. I was really happy with both. I've never heard Southern Harmony on vinyl, but I have a US & UK OG press of Amorica to compare that to at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting on my Amorica to come and had to return my Southern Harmony because I got two disc 1s so I'll see if those are any better.

iron666monkey Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Sweet deal. Did you see multiple ship dates at check out? Bought. Multiple dates at the end of checkout. I don't care how they ship them, at that price for all 4 it's a no brainer, and I've yet to receive beat up records from Popmarket so I'm more than happy to throw them my money.

warhenrecords Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Listened to Amorica yesterday and thought it sounded pretty sweet. Forgot how fucking good that record is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtcb Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Listened to Amorica yesterday and thought it sounded pretty sweet. Forgot how fucking good that record is. Hell yes. It's one of those albums that right from the first track you're like "Fuck. This song kicks ass" then you say it again at the top of every single song lol I can't wait for Three Snakes to ship in a couple weeks!

KingTacoMunster Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I got an email from amazon that three snakes has been pushed back to Jan 8th but I should have the other 3 Wednesday. Going to be awesome to have those 4 to go with my warpaint and croweology records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
