Dear fellow fans!
Firstly, thank you for welcoming me in the forum, it's nice to swap commentaries and visions.....
However, at this moment, I would like to announce not so good news about the vinyl boxset
I also recently read on the superdeluxeedition website that someone who purchased it was quite disappointed with the packaging, having discovered the records were much too tight in their respective inner sleeves...
But please check this one:
http://www.stereo.net.au/forums/index.p ... xset-2015/The review here came as a shock to me; dirty records, hairline scuffs on some and even scratches which made the reviewers needle jump!
Another quotes this calculation: Universal+Boxset+GZ pressing = Cash Grabbing!!!
Now this makes me think to reconsider buying the set......
If all information on this review is correct, then I am asking why,why, why has it to be this way?????
I mean; we are in a vinyl revival, better technologies and hardware allowing us to enjoy it again, and then a Major label and a pressing plant are screwing up this rerelease from our favourite band? Come on, this can't be true....!!!
So, if this is true, anyone fancy to start up a "Manifesto" and let our voices be heard by letter, by mail and so on at the offices of both Universal and GZ pressings......
I wonder what engineer Miles Showell would think of a quality degradation of something he worked on....
I feel a bit desperate about all of the above....
To give you an example of a complete different story; one of my other favourite bands, Rush, are releasing throughout the whole year every month one of their classic albums; 200 grams HQ vinyl AND also done at Abbey Road.....
Reviews from people who bought already 3 albums in the 3 months of this year are fabulous; the records are of top quality....
Now I am curious about your thoughts........
Thanks & regards!
