What’s strange is I received my copy at the end of July but it seemed like I was one of the few that got it that early. Most of the people I’ve talked with didn’t get theirs until we’ll into autumn. My copy is absolutely flawless and sounds great but clearly there was an issue somewhere along the way where lots of people had issues.

Yeah from what I read it seems like coming out of the plant early they were okay. Not sure if it was a bad storage issue or what. But they seem like quite the lottery.I have this one…

I loved this album in high school and it really holds up well (the pressing sounds great, BTW) For one reason or another BV3K never really caught on down here in the States.

Finally got around to comparing the two today. Overall, they sound remarkably similar. The AAA pressing has a little more air around the vocals (particularly Belinda’s) and the buzzsaw guitars are little less harsh on (most prominent on Touched and To Here Knows When). That’s pretty much all I heard. Also, there’s no way in hell I could pick which I was listening to without hearing them in direct comparison.
They’re both amazing. They got the Beatles treatment at Optimal (they can apparently press flawlessly when they want to). No noise or pops at all. The deluxe has the tip on, but the regular is sturdy glossy board with the same shiny (not quite foil) ink of the deluxe.
So, overall:
- I now really have no idea these why these are different.
- Don’t knock yourself out tracking down the AAA if its harder to find or significantly more expensive than the regular.
- My ears are still ringing. Fucking Loveless

As much as any Hardcore album can be “Audiophile” I can’t imagine any pressing of Bad Brains self-titled debut topping this ORG reissue. This is great especially for like $20 retail.

Loved that record! Jean Leloup does a song on it too IIRC. Damn, I need this.

Haha! I knew my bros to the North would share in my joy! Put on BV3K, follow it up with Odelay, Fantasma, some Hello Nasty, and Since I Left You…Now, all I need is for someone to reissue Cornershop’ When I Was Born For The 7th Time and I’ll be set.

The summer that came out, I would alternate between that and OK Computer. I know, different styles... but those two records were my go-tos for a few months (in 1997 I guess?).

Yup! My local had em in stock. It’s just the black wax standard cover version but it’s done really well, they come in the baggy perforated shrink and a MoFi type anti static inner sleeve and best of all it was $19.99!

Check out Jean Leloup's "Le Dome" when you get a chance (he does the french vocals on Forest and Bran Van contribute to La Chambre and Johnny Go on Le Dome).

That album is right in the style of the others you mentioned above, but in french (mostly - I Lost My Baby, the most popular track on the record, is in both French & English to match the theme of the song). His other records are solid as well, but in different styles. The CD only comp Je Joue De La Guitare is a good place to dig deeper.
Edit: also his photo on the cover of that comp is an epic rock & roll shot.
