>album is a 2xLP on vinyl>isn't a gatefold
>No sleeves
>Record is fucking impossible to put back in sleeve
>double album is put into a non-gatefold as a collection of singlesI've never seen thing, but it's kind of funny to imagine.
>>51740526>>51740575>>51740614>buying vinylbetter technology does exist you know
>full length LP>generic inner sleeve
>>51740526Emdtroducing is like this.Literally why. A gatefold would suit it so well.
>>51740575>its up
>>51740631>>51740638I just bought a copy of Selected Ambient Works that pulled both of these
>Record can barely fit onto the turntable
>>51740671Meant to quote OP
>Album is made into a 2x LP when it can very easily fit onto oneI'm looking at you Warp.

>>51740959FUcking Sufjan Stevens. Wanted to give the download to my gf too. Sucks man. :(
>>51740959OOF this one>hole in center of record doesn't fit
>old album originally released 2xlp>for the digital rerelease, it could easially fit on one CD>they release it on 2xcd anyways because it is ironically a double album
>>51740959>tfw bought a copy of Illinoise>said it has download code>paper where download code would be was blankFuck you Sufjan
>>51741087you sure? my illinois had two papers in it, one blank and the other with a code
>>51741118The download paper had everything on it except the code.
>>51741118I'm >>51741007, I also got a blank code. I bought my Illinois vinyl in Ireland, but I'd hope that has nothing to do with anything.
>>51741130>>51741150weird.but i didn't even use my code, as any sensible person would have already dl'd the album before he buys the record
why do you need a dl code anyway surely you pirated the album before you bought a vinyl of it
>>51741327I wanted to give the code to my gf, she's the type who'd like Sufjan.
>>51741398so send/give her a digital copy. put it on a CD with some other stuff she'd like or something
>>51741327morals :(Spotify > vinyl > download
>the tracks are out of order
>Buy brand new vinyl still in plastic shrink wrap >First track skips
>album insert has paragraphs of interesting background information>font choice was "illegible Robert Schneider cursive"kill me
>sticker on shrink wrap says "colored vinyl">black vinyl
On a vinyl related note, did anyone pick up any of the Record Store Day releases today? I had a look but nothing outside of the Mastodon release (dat vinyl art) really seemed worth it.
>>51742002>The rearranged tracklist for vinyl is superior to the cd arrangement
>>51740526>album is 38 min long>2xLP>33 1/3 rpm>mfw
>>51742002Just got Busdriver's Perfect Hair on vinyl. Colonize the Moon and Can't You Tell I'm a Sociopath are switched. It completely ruins the flow of the album.
>>51740698BUT THE SOUND QUALITY
>>51742488my nigga
>>51742002>>51742002when the fuck does that happen lmao
>>51740526>1 disc>has a gatefold:^)
>>51742698This. Led Zep II reissue, Dark Side of the Moon reissue and Sonic Highways all have this, makes me so happy.
>download code paper is inside the record sleeve, completely touching the record itself
>record is a square
>>51742694Swans -The Seer>>51742698>Every St Vincent release that isnt Marry Mefucking great feel
>>51740761What's up with the resentment of "hipsters" I see everywhere? Anyone who likes anything even somewhat out of the ordinary is deemed a hipster and immediately discredited. Are people really that insecure about themselves that if they see someone like something that they don't they assume it must be for this nonexistent "hipster cred"?
>>51740526>album is 40 minutes long>2xLP 10''fucking why
>>51740698same with fatcat records
>>51740698>Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul
>>51742369What Elephant 6 record is this?
>>51742694wut, are you serious?
>1 lp>side b has 30 min long trackwhy sonic youth?WHY
>complaining about outdated mediatop fucking kek
>>51741034fucking this
>>51741034>hole in center of record doesn't fitFucking Deltron 3030. I can barely fit it and taking it out is a hassle.
>two songs are meant to seamlessly transition into each other>on opposite sides of the record
>>51740526>>isn't a gatefoldhow does that work? maybe I'm just ignorant since I only have three 2xlps and they're all gatefolds but whaat
>>51740959>>51741007>>51741087>>51741118>>51741150>>51741325>>51741327>2015>redeeming a digital download coupon
>>51742471The outer ridges sound better, or atleast that's what I hear.I also have Los Angeles and Until the Quiet Comes and they're the same technically, but You're Daed! And the instrumentals are pushed to the far edges, so they don't really utilize being on the outside of tge record if there is very little space inbetween the ridges.Shitty Picture is very related.
>>51744673they just have them in there in their own sleeves, rubbing against each other
>>51744654isn't this where
>>51740638xxx did this to me :^l
>>51744791I never do, I usually give them away on a first come first serve basis on my instagram.
>>51740819>16" record.
>>51742694heaps of burials releases iircI think Warp pulls this shit often
>>51742739>record is anything other than a triangle
>>51747746do these cause excessive wear on the tonearm?
>>51747774It's still a circle of grooves, just got extra wax to make it triangle.
>>51747860Ah that makes sense. Same with square records?
>new LP comes with greasy fingerprints on both sides
>>51743073It's because some people went to college where there were douchebags who tried using this as a way to seem cool, regardless of if what they liked was any good or not. I like a song from the end of a tape to the 4th expansion of a video-board game to the point where I actually tracked down a high quality MP3 of the later version of the song. Does that make me a hipster? No, I'm not rubbing it in people's faces that this is better.
>>51742419well, black is a color.>>51742471Should have been pressed at 45 for sides A and C>>51742694All the fucking time.>>51743099Fucking Radiohead.>>51743362Or every doom metal band>>51744635Just use a Bic to widen it a bit. Every plant has different punch press specs, don't ask me why.>>51747870yes, any shaped discs will still have circular grooves.>>51740526Fucking Labor Days by Aesop Rock was a double LP in a jacket fit for a single LP. FUCK
>MFW I'm going to have to dig through my mom's old record collection because she has a copy of ITCOTKC that I want to hear on vinyl and spend a whole day lugging around the crates that hold our shoe rack up.
>>51748077
>>51745225Not always. The Lonesome Crowded West came with 2 separate sleeves, which I thought was pretty cool.
>>51748134>two separate sleeveswhat the fuck, you think they'd put them in the exact same inner sleeve?
>>51748164this shows what it's like pretty well. I don't mind I think it's pretty cool. http://store.glacialpace.com/products/the-lonesome-crowded-west
>record doesn't fit in sleeve>force it in>ruin the sleeve
>>51748164The other guy did.
>>51742449I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL
>>51748217Interesting, like two different jackets? Or just two different printed inners?
>>51743145The Olivia Tremor Control - Black FoliageGreat record, though.
>>51742332fuckin thisI bought Sung Tongs brand fucking new and Kids On Holiday skips so badly it's practically unlistenable
>>51749026yup 2 different jackets.
>record is a double EP because it's too long to be an LP and too short to be a double LP
>>51741034I'm probably absolutely retarded for doing this but it worked perfectly: when I was faced with a record that wouldn't fit onto my turntable's spindle I took a pair of old, blunt scissors from the kitchen drawer and just gently widened it inperceptibly. It worked, thank God.
>>51749048>that writingFUCK YOU ROB I JUST WANTED TO HEAR ABOUT THE WAYS YOU TURNED DREAMS INTO MUSIC
>>51749097You should always watch out for that. Sung Tongs' pressing was fucked up pretty badly
>album comes in a standard sleeve on a clean black 12" disc, no download card, no weird gimmicks, etc.It's perfect. Fuck silver age vinyl.
>>51740698Uh, there's a very good reason for doing that you know, especially if you can play each disc at 45RPM instead of 33.
>3xLP>gatefoldgood job hospital productions
>4 LP>gatefoldI'm looking at you Trent.
>Vinyl version mixing is superior on purpose because the artist fucking hated CDs>CD copy's artwork is replaced with a long rant on why CDs suck and are only a temporary fad
>record comes in pieces along with a tube of superglue
>>51749386I need to know.
>>51749398Big Black-AtomizerThe CD copy was renamed "The Rich Man's Eight Track tape" and was a compilation of the album and the EP and single that followed it.Steve Albini really really fucking hated CDs
>>51749469Hahaha, I fucking love Albini's tongue-in-cheek hatred for everything.
>single sided pressing with 30+ minutes on one sideSure, saves money on plates, but makes the final tracks sound like shit. I can MAAAAAYYYBEEE forgive it if there's an awesome screenprint or etching on the b-side.
>album is on a picture disk
>>51749613y'know I've heard some pretty good picture discs recently. I used to hate the sound of every picture disc, but the Uncluded doesn't sound bad at all. Might be because it was pressed at 45, but who knows. The technology has improved.
>reissue has no discernible difference from OG pressing
>>51740526>buying overpriced cardboard and plastic
>>51749704>then selling it for 10x the amount you paid for it
>>51749696this is a good thing
>>51749842Not when the first one was selling for five times the amount and now you can't tell the difference between the reissue and the OG. GOtta offload that shit before it hits the market, but how are you supposed to anticipate that.For instance, the Scott Pilgrim OST.
>>51742332>>51749097You probably need new a new needle
>>51749910Sung Tongs guy is fucked though. That album had a terrible pressing
>motherfucking seam split on spine from USPS mishandling packages
>2xLP>First three sides are the original album, all compressed to hell>Side four is bonus tracksFuck the bonus tracks. Just spread the whole album across four sides.
>PVC jackets
>comes with poly-lined innersThat's right, Music On Vinyl. You're worth every penny!
>>51740672And then you try pulling it off and end up having to shimmy it up the spindle gently without touching the grooves. It's an acquired skill.
>Record store bins are sorted by bands last name
>>51751335Division, Joy
>Double LP>Two tracks on CD standard version of album missing>Side D: 100 locked grooves
>>51751393But then there's also two additional LP only tracks.
>>51751393Oh, and Ends is included on the 7", along with Brian. I really wish they'd have kept the intro though, that was a perfect introduction to the album. Maybe it was that high pitched tone that caused issues with tracking? Who knows.
>record is made out of glue>record is 17 inches large>record is blank and filled with sandand as a bonus:>cassette is in pieces and glued to plastic
>liquid filled record>leaks fucking everywhere
>>51749887Well unless it's a deluxe edition, I don't see why they should make pointless changes
>>51751602I read some shit from a guy who owned a liquid filled Jack White vinyl, and he has to like, perform weekly maintenance, imagine caring that much about something Jack White put out
>>51751613Hell, even just a catalog number change is enough for me. Anything to differentiate pressings.
>>51751644https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQFvBr7k4GcSame with that Friday the 13th OST, it's had issues with leaking.
>>51751718Oh a catalog number change I can completely understand. I wasn't aware that albums were later repressed without changing the catalog numbers.
>>51751732Yup, and I'm an idiot who didn't sell off his OG pressing before they reissued an exact replica of it for 1/5 of the price I could have sold it for.
>>51751489On Clppng?
>>51749736that's right. most faggots don't realize that vinyl is a good investment
>>51751892Yup. It has an untitled hidden track right after Williams Mix before the locked groove on side-C. This is a vinyl exclusive. Brian is also a vinyl exclusive.Also note that the CD edition of CLPPNG didn't have the intro track either, for some reason.
>>51751938I also forgot to mention that that LP version of “Body and Blood” is longer and Williams Mix is different (better, in my opinion).But the 100 locked grooves are worth it alone.
>>51751489>>51751938>>51751982the clipping vinyl is cool we get it
>>51752010He likes to show off. Let him have his few seconds of fame.
>>51752010I'm just answering >>51751892 you fuck-fuck.
>>51752039thank you. more than I needed to know but thank you
>>51740614hello denovali
>>51752052hey you asked.>record has sandpaper jacketoh so edgy, Durutti Column
>record is a gatefold>teal double lp>includes a poster/lyrics sheet and stickersI don't even care that I tore a sleeve I love you RTJ2
>record is forty fucking dollars
>>51752103are you implying that is cheap or not?
>>51752115fucking expensive, unless it's some super deluxe 4LP that will suck your dick and wipe your ass.Though I have dropped that much on some MOV pressings. :/
>>51752103>record is $50>still cheaper than ordering the same record online when you factor in shipping
>>51752128that's pretty much a standard price here in Australia after shipping :(Also, have any fellow Australians ordered from imports-cd on ebay? looks suspiciously cheap
>>51752136>>51752133Fuck man. At least you don't have to pay outrageous shipping for Australian acts like King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. I'm still waiting for In Your Mind Fuzz to show up.
>>51752148I honestly wouldnt be surprised if a lot of local stuff was pressed internationally, I don't really follow too many Australian bands
>>51752158I know that KG was pressed by Heavenly Records, which is an Aus-based label. The shipping alone doubled the price of the album, so I can taste your pain.First the giant spiders and drop-bears and now shipping!? At least you have fucking beautiful women.
>>51752179>Heavenly Recordswell fuck, I just looked it up and it's actually based in London. Either way King Gizzard are Aus-based and they were selling their LP through Australian channels.
>>51752179You forgot 3rd world internet
>>51752206And here I am complaining about my friends having more than double my speed...
>>51752206goddamn.Still, Aussie pussy! That's a definite benefit.
>>51752179>shipping alone doubled the price of the albumyep that pretty much always happens. sometimes a lot worse.>>51752241I'd give my left nut for those speeds.>>51752243Look, it's a great country, but there are huge detractors.
>12" EP>double EP>7" LP
>>51752241I would kill someone for those speeds, count yourself fucking lucky

>>51752304Sauce on the reissue?
>>517522857" LP?Name one. That pretty much defies the definition of an LP.
>lift record off turntable>slipmat comes with itI really need to get an anti-static brush
>>51752395Or a cork mat. They're expensive, but really worth it.
>>51752401Ouch, these prices are heavyWill definitely consider picking one up though, thank ya kindly

>>51752778If you're talking about You're Dead, you definitely missed out on the $10 sale that Amazon had for like two weeks. I got four copies.
>>51752794Can I please have one

>>51752886I'll tell you what. I'll sell it to you for $20 plus shipping!
>>51752894tfw samtana calls u faggot
>>51752914You jumped in front of my post, that image was directed toward the whiny anon.
>>51752910what would shipping realistically be to didgeridoo landI can prob get cheaper locally honestly
>>51752946You could probably get it cheaper locally.I'm holding on to these for exchanges and gifts. They're all sealed, except for my personal copy.
>>51740526>not storing both lps on a single side and hiding your weed in the other
>>51752136They're fine. I've had a couple records show up with dinged corners but nothing wrong with the records themselves.
>>51753347>>51752822good to hear. how do they get them so cheap? shipping alone costs almost the price they sell some LPs at usually
