Lenticular stuff is cool, but I dunno if I want it on an insert that's going in the jacket with my record. Should've done it on the cover itself if they were gonna do it, imo

Ooh, you think they will make the QOTSA Translucent Red and Maybe a White version or Aretha!?!!

queens of the stone age is getting a really damn good almost if not definitely audiophile level pressing (bernie grundman, presssed at pallas)

QOTSA is translucent red with black marbling. Aretha is purple and white.

Soft Bulletin is amazing. But I already have a copy of it and this is just a color variant it seems. If you don't own it already, it's 100% worth getting but I was really hoping they would improve previous pressings somehow...

exactly. I have a weird level of disappointment associated with this announcement.

 

[CCKrone]

Of course they do the only Aretha album I have an original Mono of! Might be hard to resist since it will likely be quieter though.

It does suck because there is already a great version of this put out by Rhino. I'm hoping they do exclusives for this, most notably Young Gifted and Black

Hmm someone on reddit is saying that it's actually pressed from new laquers by RKS at Sterling...trying to see where they saw that though.

Check out this FOMO Copy they've spewed on their website: "It bears repeating: The only way to ensure that you’ll get these three albums is to sign up for our three-month Essentials subscription now"!
Seriously guys, tone it down

Call me cynical, but this reads like they're trying to lock in and goose up their 2019 earnings. Maybe they're fundraising? To be honest, I don't really have a problem with this, it just seems (again) like they don't have much of a plan or just deviate off of the script as needed.

I can see this getting a wide release next summer on black vinyl too if this is the case.

 

[ranbalam]

Does anyone think someone else will also press QOTSA? I'm just curious, I quit back in May and have been fine with my decision but I would ;love to own Songs for the Deaf.

Vmp Dec is always great, lol. Don’t have that Aretha yet and I am definitely excited.

That's absolutely what it sounds like. The "we no longer have the one-month subscription option so you should sign up now" instead of "we're reintroducing the one-month subscription [because it was stupid of us to get rid of it in the first place]" doesn't help.

I don't understand why they wouldn't put this on, ya know...the MAIN PAGE ABOUT THE PRESSING hah.

A random redditor just stated The Soft Bulletin was: "Pressed from new lacquers cut by RKS @ Sterling" No sourcing yet though.

They did it. VMP really did it.


I still have the one month sub available. So if I sign up for this month and leave it till next month I should get it right? Or do I "need" to sign up for 3 months to guarentee I get songs for the deaf?

 

[GelloJive]

I can’t complain. I don’t have the Soft Bulletin so sure it could be a cooler color but I’m happy to have this as the ROTM.

I was also hoping for a bundle that would’ve included Embryonic and Yoshimi, but these two albums are great also. So I snagged that and got the $1 tote! Happy with this month for sure. I’m also swapping for Lightmen finally too.

Only question now is to get Demon Days as a swap. I feel like I’ve listened to this album so much I kind of killed it.

I was originally going to cancel in November, but FUCK that Aretha is pulling me in. DAMN IT
