Definitive Audiophile pressings

I’m sure this has been covered, but the Grundman remaster of PF “Animals” from a couple years ago is decent, yes? Someone couldn’t sleep the other night and bought himself a present.

I have gone through three copies of this pressing. All had some degree of edge warping, some worse than others. There is also intermittent, light surface noise on the first track to one of the sides, cannot remember which. And a few clicks/static here and there. The mix/master is terrific, and it sounds great otherwise.

I have a few of these Grundman reissues, Meddle, The Wall, Darkside, and Animals. Animals is by far the worst pressing of the bunch, in my case, but it isn't terrible. Still very enjoyable. THe copy I ended up with has edge warps on both sides, but my cart can track it fine. Also, it is not 180g, if that matters to you.

Check out discogs, there are some mixed reviews. Actually, I take that back. Most reviews are positive. I am just very unlucky with vinyl.

I might of missed this discussion, but does anyone have any ideas how the Craft One Step pre-order is likely to work tomorrow? The website shows the Public Pre-Sale Launch so im assuming that will update at the correct time, but what about the earlier pre-sale with the code?

If you subscribe to the craft e-newsletter they sent you a personalized code that works for preordering at 11am et tomorrow. Everyone else will have to wait till 5pm et to preorder. I expect it’ll be sold out pretty fast after that

Just to clarify, 8am PST and 2pm PST. I think you mixed up EST and PST (11 and 2)

But the email they have already sent has the code. So are you thinking they will send another out? Or that the link in the email will take you to a section to allow the code to be put in?

The reason I am asking is because when I click the link currently in the email it takes me to the US site, I then have to switch to international and re-find the Yusef Lateef album.

I assume the link will go live at 8am and at check out you will be able to enter the code to buy it. Good question for the international store though!

Might have to just try and buy from the international then and send an email explaining the situation. There wont be time to explore options with this one.....
 
So I'm spinning the Speakers Corner Elvis Presley "From Elvis In Memphis" I got the other day and damn this pressing is beautiful. Blows my MOV copy out of the water and that wasn't too bad. Highly recommend if you're an Elvis fan (and in fact if you're just a passing fan, this is the one album to get IMO).
