Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[Murfocakes]

I don't have the OG to compare but would love to hear some thoughts on an A/B comparison. Background noise for me was only for about 10-15 seconds through the start of side A, afterwards was perfectly fine.

I’ll compare with my existing copy. But no sign of dispatch yet.

My copy of Wu is hot fking garbage for the first at least 30 seconds of A and B. I haven’t played disc 2 yet. To CS I go yet again!

 

[Ghost]

can someone record the sound theyre hearing on Wu?

 

[Ghost]

My Wu is free of right channel surface noise but has a lovely scratch that causes a loud POP for the first 2 minutes of side b. Fortunately it’s on the skit but debating wether I request a replacement

 

[Ghost]

Yeah, definitely requesting a replacement. Surface noise everywhere, not nearly as loud ATLiens but its everywhere man. If you would've told me this was an original pressing owned by someone who solemnly cleaned their records I would believe you, but this is a brand new factory sealed record that costs nearly $50 MSRP.

Aw man... this is... not fun.

Yeah I'm so sick of this shit. They may as well just start mailing everyone 2 copies cause one is going to be fukt at this rate.

And here I thought Wu-tang was nothing to fuck with.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Yeah, wtf. Hell of a lot of noise out the right channel so far on Wu. Not as grating as Mars Volta, but still pretty bad. It stayed through all of Bring Da Ruckus then stopped

Exact same issue for me. All of Bring Da Ruckus was full of a scratchy noise, then it stopped and came back every once in a while. Going to take a video and request another copy tomorrow.

I think I'm done getting anything from a track aside from Classics. I can't remember the last perfect copy of an Essentials or Hip Hop record I received. It has been constant issues and disappointment.

Same here. Bring Da Ruckus has the bacon sizzles all throughout.

The back cover for Wu tang looks wrong now, not only no change to have it say what sides each song is on (like a part 1 and 2 for each previous side.

But now the texts literally overlap each other so it's almost unreadable



Also this vinyl isn't REALLY gold.. it's more like green mixed with yellow

Yeah it's always looked like that. Even the OG looks like that. I'm cool with it.

So for anyone who guessed and wanted "The Moon and Antarctica" for the Essentials ROTM just pick up the currently available pressing. Surface noise on side a so far so it's like the VMP experience without VMP pricing!

Customer service is telling me the distortion sound I’m hearing is from the sample. I’m pretty bummed I rejoined for this.

Tell them they are incorrect, the right channel distortion that runs through the entire first side of the album is not a sample.

THEY MUSTA SAMPLED THE MARS VOLTA THEN

Did you send them a video of your defective record?

 

[bdrummond]

They really gonna try this shit given the past two months, huh?

 

[some.other.simon]

Yeah I sent them a short video and then a longer one. My phone doesn’t do the best job picking it up but I compared it to the single lp and digital. It’s not a sample.
