I bought Frances. To me:
Relationship of Command > Frances & Deloused > any Sparta > any other MV

But what about In/Casino/Out?

Optimal will do a good job with these Volta reissues. I have no doubt.

Curious if the Deloused included in the bundle will just be the GZ press or if Optimal is repressing that as well?

Didn't know it back in the day. I just had the RoC cd. I'll bundle it with Sparta though.

Someone on reddit confirmed with CS that it is indeed GZ but there is additional "quality control" being done, whatever the fuck that means.

Probably means that since the first run had noise on Side A&B of basically every pressing, that they repressed it and made damn sure this time that there weren't any of that noise again. Probably paid for extra test pressings this time or something.

I'm already drafting up several different versions of my complaints, I will adjust later for accuracy.

somebody should just make a madlibs form letter already!

If the problem stemmed from overstamping, the test pressings wouldn't be useful anyway.

Overstamping wouldn't explain a press wide issue though. It does explain the PE/WU issue though...

Having never heard of At the Drive-in or Sparta until today, after listening to them all day, I am prepared to make my comparisons.

I prefer Sparta as they draw a closer resemblance to Rise Against, who I like.

At the Drive-In has traces of Rage Against the Machine and a little early Nada Surf? Like if Nada surf took a hard turn toward punk/post-hardcore instead of indie rock/power pop.

Did VMP ever actually produce any good sounding copies of Deloused?

My 2nd copy of Deloused was ok.

Who needs to ever retire when you can buy Frances the Mute and Tremulant for $90 *sobs*

How's it sound in general? I have an OG but it is probably VG.

I mean outside of the 40 seconds of super loud right channel noise it sounds pretty good? Better than I expected.

Leaving Mather's horrendous luck aside and my modest system(ATLP60) I have to say it sounds pretty good. Loud and stable, don't recall any noise on my second copy, maaaaybe around the end grooves of side C but not anything that messes up the music or sound.

First record that being deep cleaned by my fancy new thing made it sound worse

Was also the first spin of it on the shibatta stylus…

Ohhhhhh, the Shibata is going to make a loooooot of things sound worse.

Other than that first 60 seconds of that one everything has sounded better so far…

That said I’ve both been trying it out with favourites plus the magic ultrasonic just destroys all noise that isn’t from defects or damage.
