Some records just seem like they belong on black wax. Like for example the recent VMP pressing of Room On Fire which I am sure sounds great but black wax seems much more appropriate than the multi-colored circus colored wax they settled on. I think Red wax for Damned The Torpedoes is probably the best color you could go with (outside of black).
I've got this on its way from backorder dating to September...

Yep, it's great. Get it.
I don't, but I do have the Classic 200g mono. Which is really good. But if you are to have one copy of Axis, it must be the stereo. It was how Hendrix intended it to sound.
Lord of Lords is a great record, and the Superior Viaduct sounds very good - but not as good as an original. Still very good. Lord of Lords was her last record for Impulse and pretty out there. World Galaxy is a must-have and that Superior Viaduct sounds good too. World Galaxy is a bit easier to get into.
Oh damn!! How is it? I got a shipping notice last week and it’s just got “accepted” last night.
Haven't opened it yet, but I'm pretty excited to give it a spin!
Very niceee!! I should have had mine today but Royal Mail have been doing this really annoying thing where they hold our buildings parcels for a couple of days at a time to deliver in a single go.
How is the package? From their description it sounds a lot more high end than what MoFi put out with the One Steps.
It seems more like the UHQR than the One Steps. A slide out case instead of a box with a lid and separate bottom.
you'll get to give us one of the first reviews! i have only seen one on hoffman so far surprisingly. they complained about the album art looking badOk so I apologise for complaining about Royal Mail, looks like they just had a later delivery time than usual today
Lush Life has arrived and looks to be a decent set. The record is in a slipcase with a piece of ribbon that allows you to slide the it out. Comes with a liner notes sheet (nothing over the top) with notes from Ashley Kahn. I can already see quite a bit of residue on the record so will need to give it a clean first but im so excited that im going to do that now and get it playing!

Makes a nice change getting a record before you US folk
Hoffman boards gotta Hoffman.Makes a nice change getting a record before you US folk
I don't have an OG to compare it to but I can't see anything wrong with it. Maybe the front isn't as sharp as the original? Not something I would necessarily pick up on as an issue without having another copy to hand.

Cover art is dire! Crappy scan with scan lines showing, no contrast and no black. Not gloss but satin.
Either im blind or just not seeing it.....
