Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[frodo-pkt]

Just spun my Wu. Happy to say that I don't have the right channel noise issue. Album sounds pretty great imo

Just for note I did have 2 copies of ATLiens with the issue on Side D

Guess that all but confirms Grizzly Bear (unless another front runner was also 2009). 1974 would seem to confirm December as being The Meters’ Rejuvenation instead of Cosmic Slop.

Not to mention Confessions came out in 2004! Lets goooooo

For the record, I like Grizzly Bear. Yet somehow I'm just not all that excited about Veckatimist as an Essential. Hopefully the new pressing will blow me away. Also, really hoping Graham Parsons is available for swaps in November, 'cause I'm a hard pass on Confessions.

I’m not either, even though I love that album. I saw it for $25 recently and didn’t pick it up then, so I don’t see myself spending $33 for it as an add on. Unless it gets rave reviews and is a clear winner over the standard press.

Veckatimest confirmed, with details about it. Pink and orange vinyl actually sounds decently cool for this album.

This is probably something that I should know but it's been a while, can you swap your main track for credit and do an add-on to get this record? I'd rather pay $33 for this versus whatever the sub price is and none of the other tracks are doing it for me!

Yes, I believe so.

Bit of static on side A of my 36 chambers copy, but I haven’t given it a wet clean yet. Doesn’t sound as pronounced as Side D of ATLiens. I’ll clean it thoroughly this weekend and try again.

Spin clean helped. Still a bit of noise but not enough to exchange.

 

[jfitzy]

Finally listened to my copy of Wu-Tang. I also have the right channel noise others have reported. It lasts throughout the A and B sides. It’s nearly unlistenable.

yes, i have done this several times. (if the track is sold out like RHH has been lately, and country was a month or two ago, you might be out of luck doing that.) I would do the album swap before the credit swap if my heart was set on getting the album instead of the credit.

if you swap for credit can it be used towards your subscription?

I did this but you gotta email CS to have them convert it to "membership credits" (i.e. it will apply to your membership when it comes time to renew, rather than for store purchases)

Yes although I've never done it, I've always wound up using it on store drops

 

[DJSJ]

Hopefully they will get such a backlash that they start considering using someone other than GZ (assuming they are the problem).

That would require the fanbase actually recognize theres a widepsread problem. If you hop into the subreddit you'll see any issue being called out as "the minority" and if you try to bring up all the collective issues you'll just get downvoted. Had pauly get on there the other week and say they havent had a big issue "in a long while". You'll find members with these big audio issues in their pressings trying to convince themselves they're fine.


And they keep expanding, so it looks like the "Just will the problems away" method is working for them.

 

[Selaws]

Just opened up Wu Tang and the crackle is INSANE.

What the hell happened with this one, is there even QS anymore?

I have popped a clip up on my instagram. Might end up having to upload a longer one to youtube if their CS wants more proof, and I will share here.

My Wu is also jacked, as is my Public Enemy. 0/4 over the last 3 months. Unreal.

 

[Sparks_03]

We all should reach out to CS and see if they will give us another bridge deal. Most of us should get some sort of discount for the records we haven’t gotten clean copies of yet.

Might be time for you to end this abusive relationship?
