Definitive Audiophile pressings

[Turbo]

Pagpipes are a weapon of war, and rightfully so. The only thing that comes close is the Doof Wagon from Mad Max Fury Road.

White Blood Cells
Elephant
Get Behind Me Satan
De Stijl
Icky Thump
Self-Titled

tough call be GBMS and De Stijl for me.

I'd agree with this list, probably that exact order. I might have Icky Thump ahead of De Stijl on certain days, but most days I'd be in agreement that De Stijl is better.

Looks like MoFi Blues for Allah is going to be back in stock shortly. It popped up on the MoFi "Back In Stock" mini-site even though it still says sold out. Dire Straits - Communique and Making Movies, and Leyla are all up on that too in terms of vinyl but say OOS.

Yup Mars Hotel. It spent a week ping ponging around Chicago Fed Ex warehouses. Can’t even blame it on USPS. I reached out to em. Hopefully I can get a replacement. This is my first order LP order from them. Hopefully they’ll step up.

So are those slices from the records or badly made tip-ons that ripped open because they were glued too tight and couldn't handle the contents?

My Lush Life came today and it's numbered

Probably a combo both. It’s pretty gnarly. If they don’t have replacements I may see a f the will give me a discount and just let me keep it.

Seriously, that's about as bad as I've ever seen for a new record. Yay, you now have the option to take your records out from your choice of two different sides!

That’s what you call accentuating the positive.

Thanks man, will do.

On another note, my MOFI Brothers in Arms came in. Played through some parts quickly. Sounds.... good? Separation and detail are fantastic, pressing is incredibly clean but I'm undecided if the low end is rich enough... felt like something was missing? Maybe it just needs to be cranked louder? I'll spin properly when I get a chance.

Also, I definitely do not have any pressing defects in Walk of Life.
