Derek™ Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Looks awesome; that variant turned out quite nicely. Patiently waiting for mine over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustus Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Nice! Quite a bit of surface noise on my splatter. Looks great, tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augustus Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Thanks! Love the Blue, but stylus replacement is a little costly. I might go back to the Red for a bit which is still a badass cart for $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbrooms Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Nice! Quite a bit of surface noise on my splatter. Looks great, tho! Yours too, huh? I just put it on and it is extremely distracting on such an intimate album. I've come to expect a small amount of surface noise from new records, but this is pretty unbearable. Never had this issue with the first S. Carey album, nor anything else I've got from Jagjaguwar/SC. I wonder if the plain black would be any better.. Anyone else having this issue?

Derek™ Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Still don't have mine to check, but I read about surface noise in the comments section at Slyvinyl for this release, too. Really unfortunate. I wonder if they'll do anything to address it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustus Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I've definitely heard worse on new records, but it is a shame to have this much surface noise on such a delicate album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really unfortunate. I wonder if they'll do anything to address it. I hate being "that guy" but I sent them a polite email about it. I'm not trying to get refunded or whatever I just kind of what them to realize what a bummer it is. At this point I'll just keep listening to the mp3s, kind of defeats the purpose of the whole thing. Part of me has faith after seeing what Asthmatic Kitty did for people who ordered the latest Sufjan Stevens xmas box set. One of the LP's sound quality was for shit, so they apologized and sent everyone a replacement copy. Stunning album though. Took three or four listens to really "get" it, but it's solid. Seems to end a little abruptly, but that'll probably just take a few more listens to work itself out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freverend Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I am having the surface noise problem as well! Git the ltd marble one, too. Washed it twice on my OkkiNokki - still unhearable like people said here. I heard a lot about bad quality/surface noise all around on Jagjaguwar discs though... It is so sad 'cause the album is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorthairedmetal Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I thought I had ordered the splatter version and the standard black came... haven't emailed Jessie but I may. Sorta bummed about that, but there was also no indication of the color/variant in the receipt or purchase confirmation. I suppose I just missed out and pre-ordered too late.
