Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[Selaws]

Mmmmm good idea! If you ever receive a copy that has distortion/noise on Side A (on the track Bring Da Ruckus), can you post both the videos on here too, just to see the comparison? I'm getting my copy soon and will compare too, so I might post on here!

This is legit my favourite Essentials ROTM VMP have done - I purchased two copies as well because I am really passionate about the album and I really hope at least one of my copies sound perfectly fine! I will make sure I get two perfectly playable copies without surface noise/distortion though! I'll be spinning this one probably at least 12 times a year, so I know I have to have second spare copy!

Will do buddy, just tag me if you do have an issue and post here and I will dig out my OG copy to compare.

hmmm, more issues. I've got the 2000 Simply vinyl reissue of this, so I can sorta at least A/B for any issues because that's a clean copy. bummer though.

 

[jaycee]

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

great description folsom.

Got my Wu Tang today, it's not as bad as MV or Outkast but the crackle is there and it's all I hear!! 0/3 what a run!

Anyone hear any news on the Outkast? Are they just hoping that everyone forgets?

They said in my email where I asked for a Wu replacement that they are still “investigating”

Like OJ searching for the real killer?

I just heard the rumoured identity of their lead investigator

Anyone share a sample of Wu Tang yet? I definitely have a right channel repetitive crackle issue on Side A. Not sure what the best way to share audio clips on here is though. Anyone know?

 

[zdkaiser]

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!

I have a copy of this pressed at United from probably 10 years ago and it sounds very good. Maybe United was more on point a decade ago?

I think most people upload to Imgur and then share the link here.

Here is a sample of my right channel noise on side A of Wu Tang. It is present from the run in through the second song at least. Sorry not the greatest recording but I think the defect is clear enough.

They’re insane if they claim that’s a sample.
Like, straight up

Definitely, even though it is obvious otherwise, the fact that it is also present in the run in proves it unquestionably.

 

[Andy]

Exactly. I’ve never had skipping problems with any new records, it’s basically a set up thing or a dirty ass record thing almost all of the time in my experience

Unless it’s a pressing defect. Definitely had gritt embedded into the record before, not shifting it however many times you clean.

 

[feesrevenge]

Man, I hate that you all are having issues. I was hoping to come here and see a lot of praise.

I haven’t listened all the way through yet but I dropped the needle on side A and it was clean as a whistle. I was absolutely amazed. There is a slight warp but nothing to complain about.

Yeah sometimes, but it's a lot rarer than people claim for sure. I feel like most of those skipping complaints you see are just setup related or dirt related.

Edit I just now realized I posted this in the wrong thread, d'oh.

That has probably sitting under a furnace for a couple of years.
