Cloudsbelow Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I know it shouldn't come down to this but I won't bother with the vinyl if it's not a double LP for that price i prefer a single 12" the same number of songs will be on it and I dont have to flip as often.. plus the quality of capital pressings is top notch!

Yeah, but 2LPs means they might be pressed at 45RPM and $24 + shipping is a bit much for a single LP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axisrecapital Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Beck has some seriously good pressings on vinyl. The Information is one of the best presentations and packages I've ever seen for a record. Even his three singles this year where pretty damn impressive..... so I'd bet that we see a variant for RSD 2014 or something more elaborate than a single LP at a later date. But for now, my ass is content with new music....period! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forbenator Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Personally, I feel as though Beck can do no wrong. The feel of this release is just my favorite realm of his ventures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudsbelow Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yeah, but 2LPs means they might be pressed at 45RPM and $24 + shipping is a bit much for a single LP Yeah I hear that.. but I buy almost all my records from my local indie shop so shipping doesnt affect me. and really, a double 12" at 45 is great if the pressing is treated right.. most of the time its just BS marketing to get people to pay another $10 for $3 worth of cost to the label. excited for this release and yeah, wouldnt be surprised if there was a RSD variant.. though, mutations and modern guilt only have black vinyl pressings, or did I miss something.

My local shop is set to get this by February 25th. I'd assume that will be standard for any of you who may not know when your shop's set to snag it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axisrecapital Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 You are correct about Mutations and Modern Guilt....AND Midnight Vultures. They are all one black vinyl pressing (although Mutations had a 7 inch included). But in Beck's defense, he has been pressing at 180 gram before it became a stamp of authority. Both Mutations and Midnight Vultures were released around the height of CDs and the start of MP3s, so the fact that he had high quality vinyl at 180 gram during that era shows that the label was treating him like a long term artist. I think with Modern Guilt, it was his last record under contract, so it got released fast. In fact, I think he recorded Modern Guilt in less than two weeks with Danger Mouse....so Beck might have had his foot out the door when Modern Guilt was done. I'm not even sure if he toured for it. I also remember reading that Beck didn't really have much to do with Odelay being re-pressed and expanded. The label kind of forced it on him and he was wondering why they were giving it the expanded treatment after only 10 years. Off topic, but interesting.

youspinmeround Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Listened. Cant wait for the other album he is putting out this year because I am not really into this upon first listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximuss Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 The album is great, got it in the mail yesterday. It is not a gatefold like some shop advertise. Great sound and heavy, good quality vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aju2streets Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Even though its overpriced for a single LP, non gatefold I think I'll regret not picking it up on vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Listened. Cant wait for the other album he is putting out this year because I am not really into this upon first listen Yeah, not sure where the Sea Change comparisons come from. I loved his last album but I can't stomach this album at all. Blue Moon is probably my least favorite song he has done in the past 15 years.

zeb_enjoys_vinyl Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Beck is one of my favorite artists but the songs he's pre streaming from these im just really not into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximuss Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 These songs will grow and it is for sure a follow up on sea change, same sound and style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yeah, I think the Sea Change comparison is pretty obvious. But I also don't think this is as good as Sea Change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainaldous Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Really dig the few songs I've heard. I'm excited to pick this up on Tuesday. Just wish Sea Change and Mellow Gold would be kept in print. Sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Got my shipping confirmation from Amoeba the other day. So far I really like what I've heard from this album. I get the Sea Change comparisons, though I don't think anything will ever top Sea Change or Mellow Gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Not really feeling this one listen in, going to revisit it a few times and see if it grows on me. A couple of songs remind me of Sea Change, but as a whole it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack8urt0n Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The first song could be called Golden Age 2. Not saying that's a bad thing. Just my cup of tea, actually. Really like the new songs. Not as good as Sea Change as others have said, but I'm certainly liking it more than his recent albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
