Anyone know who or what is Citizen Vinyl pressing plant?

a quick google search tells me it's based out of Asheville, NC and was ranked as one of America's best bars by Esquire in 2022

Oh... oh god

the only thing I could find in my discogs that I own that was pressed there was the recent Clem Snide reissue of The Ghost of Fashion and it sounds great. not a legit sample size, but no issues that I can recall.

Like spilledleche said, it’s in Asheville. It’s only about an hour away from where I live. I feel like the majority of their stuff could be better. A few of the albums I’ve gotten from there have been warped.

Oh... oh god

I have quite a few, run the gamut. Still getting their feet wet I guess. Some things sound great. Some things not so much.

That Runaways is one of the worst sounding records I have heard recently.

I haven't had a warp from them or at least not one that the michell didn't completely fix.

New plant in Asheville, I only have one pressing from there but it's flawless. I expect it's no better than any other stateside plants not named RTI or QRP

 

[Nee Lewman]

I should really check the matrices of what I have to see if I can figure out how to tell what came from there. I have stuff like Bombadil’s latest that was cut there but not listed as such in cogs.

We all know I’m not doing this anytime soon, right?

 

[Nee Lewman]

I May have (or someone did anyhow) fixed Bombadil. I show Bombadil (good), Yasmín Williams (not great), Brief Encounter (okay - could be source), The A’s (good), and most recent Phil Cook (haven’t bothered listening to yet).

I would imagine all the Psychic Hotline stuff is being done there. I know the Mandolin Orange live album was cut there (GREAT), and the Marlin solo stuff was cut there (good). I have to believe the new Hiss Golden Messenger was done there too (good)

I'm torn.
On one hand the single is pretty good.

On the other I feel sometimes Aesop Rock's schtick tires me. Skelethon 10th anniversary is in stock now and I went to listen to it and can't bring myself to enjoy it again.

Its actually a cool visit if you are ever in Asheville. It has a small record shop, coffee bar, and cocktail bar. It has big glass windows so you can watch the pressing plant in action. Very very cool vibe and I would consider it an event space, as well. Its very clean and like I said...cool vibe. I have not purchased any records printed there.

yeah, I wormholed on it afterward because it sounded like a genuinely cool spot and it looks like a fun stop

 

[Nee Lewman]

Next time we head towards Asheville, it is definitely a place I want to visit.

Asheville. Arthur Ashe. Ash Ketchum. Kevin Bacon.

I'm waaaaaay pumped, but I can also appreciate where you're coming from.

Maybe I'm just crazy but here it is:

I like smart rap, I find some artists fill that niche very nicely. I feel with Aesop Rock sometimes though, I'm not having a good time, and it seems like he's trying too hard to be the guest rapper at the Mensa convention.

Anyway...I didn't know that Busta was in stock, so I had no qualms using the 20% code on it. Also When Disaster Strikes is getting released tomorrow so it seems like a Busta kind of week.
