That’s what I’m leaning towards too. Although I can also imagine my wife’s indignation if I get not one, but two copies of an album I already have.
But you can't listen to the Pallas pressed LP in the car!!

Or, perhaps more effectively, you can let her know you saved like $130 by doing it that way instead of getting the 7LP set.
You saved more than you spent! What's not to love?!
I’ve tried this tactic before. It didn’t go so well; I spent a week living my trailer in the driveway.
4!Sigur Ros - Ágætis Byrjun dilema...I had been contemplate upgrading this for a while, but which version do I get?
Option 1 - Stick with my beat up CD from when it came out, completed with cracked case, but no scratches. (Cost = $0)
Option 2 - Upgrade to the 4 CD 20th Anniversary version (w/ live show and rarities) that came out a couple years back. (Cost = $30)
Option 3 - Upgrade to the 7 LP 20th Anniversary version (w/ live show and rarities) that came out a couple years back. Pressed at GZ. (Cost = $200)
Option 4 - Upgrade to the new Pallas reissue (Cost = $30)
Option 5 - Upgrade to the VMP version. Likely pressed at GZ. (Cost = $50)
Oh yeah, saw Sigur Ros on tour in 2001 at a church. It was as good as you imagine.

Sigh...was hoping the rumors of surface noise on Meters was unfounded. Surface noise on second and final track of side A. Haven't got to side B yet. Washing my hands of the whole experience.
It sounds so good otherwise. Such a shame they fucked this up.I'm not even a member anymore, and am still waiting on my OutKast replacement disc, but somehow this one is the most disappointing to me. The Meters, and you guys, deserve better!
Not seeing the problem here.I’ve tried this tactic before. I spent a week listening to my new records in my trailer in the driveway.

I've been thinking about the need for a solar powered table/speaker set. It would sell really well with preppers and would make vinyl viable post-collapse, if such a thing we're to occur. Also campingThe main problem was it was in the driveway, not camping out in the woods.
Side B is good. Fantastic even. Not a single issue. Had this been a $30-35 CAD album I'd be slightly disappointed, but I could overlook it. But that's not what we're talking about, so I'm going to notice these things all that much more.View attachment 121165

I'm pretty selective about my country, but several of their picks have been pretty inspired and I took the bait. Unfortunately, issues with the Emmylou in particular made it clear that they are either unwilling or incapable of providing value at the current price point - apart from their approach with Classics, of course.I’ve said this before, but the GZ pressings have destroyed my enjoyment of the Country track. I have had the standard GZ crackle on the last A side track of almost every VMP Country album I’ve gotten. It’s just sad.
I loved the music of () but the single line lyrics annoyed me so much I can't listen to the ducking thingi might accept sigur ros, might swap, am staying on the sub though.... i just don't really like the anthemic parts of the album (like i listened to the bracket album and it worked a lot better due to amplifying emotions in a stronger way through a less traditional structure)
i actually find it weirder to zone out with the actual language lyrics..it feels weird and like my brain semi interprets the Icelandic lyrics if I'm sleeping or soI loved the music of () but the single line lyrics annoyed me so much I can't listen to the ducking thing
