shawnayala90 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Received mine yesterday. 016/300.The inner sleeve is full of grainy fluff.Is this real gold? i got 90/300... and as much as i love the music and the pressing and packaging, it seems all that grain has gotten into the grooves of my 7" and completely wrecked the sound quality. when i first pulled it out i thought it was just a little dust, but after inspecting the sleeve it looked as though the inside was completely coated with it... which completely coated my 7" :/ anyone else having such a noticeable problem?

The plant warned me about this before they shipped. The grainy stuff (not sure what to call it), is 100% normal, and present on all haze vinyl, and according to the plant and from my time playing the 7" and other haze records I own shouldn't affect the sound quality at all, after you wipe it off. Excellent EP real sharp looking too. Glad you like it dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to give mine another wipe down when I listen to it next, the first song on my b-side was really noisy. Hopefully that'll remedy it. Songs are great and it looks excellent though.

lexicondevil Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah, haze dust all over this thing. I haven't even listened to it yet. Not going on the turntable until it hits the Nitty Gritty. This and a tour Junius record are the only two haze variants that have had this much dust on them. I wonder if some labels wipe them before they slip them in the sleeves?

Just Us Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Cleaned mine with the Nagaoka Rolling-Cleaner.No more issues since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG88 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 even after a thorough cleaning with everything I have, there's still major surface noise. first track on side b, as jon mentioned, is certainly the worst. guess I should've bought a test so I could listen to it. damn.

radiatorhums Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Wiped mine a few more times and it helped a little, but there is constant noise and popping during the quiet parts on Spinning. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 More than just wiping, you need to CLEAN your records. There is a thread on here somewhere about it. This is mostly common with pirates press "haze" records. It leaves a lot of debris on the records themselves and you can tell it's a PP record the minute you pull it from the dust sleeve and you hear that sandpaper-esque crunch. After a good cleaning, this 7" sounds great. Hearing Orchid on my table made my week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a machine to do any really deep cleaning though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Press, who pressed the 7" is one of the best plants around, but their haze records do leave a lot of superficial debris. Just give the record a good cleaning, and you should be fine. The EP sounds incredible on vinyl, and I'm sorry it's been frustrating for some of you to get it to that point. It's definitely something to consider on the next run. Thanks again to all of you picked it up, by the way. I'm super proud to have put out this EP, and it means a lot to have so many of you pick it up.

drds89 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I amost cringe to see Haze pressings anymore, since I don't own a VPI or Nitty Gritty and closest record store is an hour away. I actually sent a board member several rare pressings to clean with his RCM. I cleaned the inner sleeve with a sticky roller and light damp cloth / then blow dryer. Only very slight surface noise on one of them. On this little 7", I rinsed with distilled water first, then, used the sticky roller on the vinyl but only go one revolution (lightly as possible, but it's sticky!) and then clean the grit off the roller. Lots of work, but decent sound to the vinyl - got lucky. That was the main reason I splurged on the TP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Got the haze and the test in a few days ago. Test jacket looks and feels awesome! I also have a lot of debris on my haze copy. My new white/blue haze variant of a Pelican record is the worst I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Us Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Withdraw my opinion.Lots of pops and crackling on the quieter parts of the whole record,especially track B1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Kristina has done 4 short, upbeat classic shoegazey songs - available on bandcamp for $4, or CS from the UK for (8.5GBP shipped to US)/ too rich for me. It sounds like this material may be going on an LP later this year so I'm going to wait. https://miserablegrl.bandcamp.com/ http://sadgirlsclub.bigcartel.com/product/sgc002-miserable-dog-days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason it is being sold in the UK, and Native Sound is not selling physical on this one, or am I missing that, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindovermatter Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 ^ What Don said. I'm all for supporting, but I won't buy mp3s and that's a little pricey for a cassette. A vinyl release would be excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of how limited the tape release is (100 copies), carrying it as US distro wasn't really an option. But a 7" release is very likely sometime next year, though nothing is specifically in the works yet. I'd be pretty optimistic though!
