markok Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'll just wait for the inevitable audiophile re-press. I have more than thousand records and this is one of the few ones I would call an audiophile pressing. jack8urt0n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Its funny how this thing came out last week and people are already wanting another version According the the steve hoffman forums this is a poor sounding press Those people are nuts I didnt like this album until I bought a copy and it hit my turntable. Its too good not to like And to whoever said this is out of print....this is avail all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 And to whoever said this is out of print....this is avail all over the place you're right. a lot of places are selling out, but my local shop (who is sold out) said they are expecting more in a few weeks. so it IS still in print.

Twistedshabazz Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Been on the hunt for this and none of the local places have it. One got it day of and sold out within an hour and never got more. Eventually i will find this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossdj26 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 My local shop has two of these in. They're priced at $29.99 a piece though. Going to try and haggle after work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinyl Fury Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Can the thread title be changed to reflect the actual title of the album? It's not Morning Phaze. laralaurent and russtcb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aju2streets Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Looks like lots of major retailers are OOS of this. Amazon, Insound, Hastings, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Wood Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 For anyone interested in the technical side of complaints about this not being an audiophile pressing/release, here is the source of these complaints: http://www.audiostream.com/content/becks-imorning-phasei-2496-download-worth-it In short, some guy analyzed the wave forms of the tracks and deduced, correctly I think, that several tracks on the hi res download are actually MP3s. The assumption is that these are the same versions/files used to press the record. As most people know, MP3 is a lossy format and by definition not of audiophile quality. I don't know: record sounds great to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Will read later, but how does a bad download version make the vinyl version non-audiophile? Where is the sense in that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximuss Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I think everyone who ownes a big lp collection knows this one of the best quality pressings of your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Wood Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Will read later, but how does a bad download version make the vinyl version non-audiophile? Where is the sense in that? They are presuming the master file that was sold as a hi rez download is the same file used to press the LP. Tho I'm not an expert, this is usually the case: the artist signs off on on 1 final mixed master and that is the one used to make all the various versions, CD, LP, MP3, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasma36 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Why would the download code be the same files used to press the record? Those are typically wav files, which are bigger than most people care to deal with. Just because someone is buying vinyl doesn't mean they're an audiophile, per se, and feel the need to have the highest quality digital download to be accompanied. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself.

He's not saying anything about the DL code. He is saying a master set of files, usually hi-res, are used to make all the versions of the record (CD, DL, and vinyl). In the end, they all come from the same source file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ookowalsky Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Recently bought this, great record and great pressing at all. But does anybody know something about a double LP pressing made in the US, it has a completely different cover and should be released in April?

ookowalsky Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 http://www.hhv.de/shop/de/artikel/beck-morning-phase-350319 Could be a bootleg, there are so many in Germany at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
