I don't understand why they "remastered" it when the original LP sounded absolutely amazing. Glue for Fools…😁
-
Has anyone in Canada/maybe North America recieved this yet? Ordered ahead through our regional distro for my store and I have yet to see our copies appear. -
Perfect record... all the way up until the final (favorite) moments on B-4 and the imprint/defect snaps me back into reality, unfortunately. -
-
I find myself wondering why they didn’t include the cd tracks for this repress and make it a 2lp. If anyone knows the reasoning please let me know. -
Still available at Prophecy's SPKR - good option for EU customers

Don't listen vinyl yet, nothing to say about quality. -
Edited one year agoI haven't heard the original, as I know this album only from MP3s, but this record sounds a bit muddy to me. I probably shouldn't complain, though, as I could pay 10x more for a Durtro pressing than I did for this. There are still copies around at normal retail, so no need to to overpay just yet! (Mine arrived today, and the label's distributor that I got it from still has them as of today.)

Edited one year agoThe first copy I got had quite a few clicks on the B side culminating in some quite noticeable and distracting ones on the final track. Tried a wet clean but the fault was in the vinyl. Exchanged it and the new copy is much better. I absolutely love this record. -

Edited one year agoFellow collectors, this can be had $24.98 at independent record stores. Found it yesterday in the "punk" section. Definitely hard for folks to know where to categorize Tibet's work, I've also found C93 in the Prog section.
Sound quality and pressing is excellent with the exception that infill or glue is causing bad clicks on B4 Merry-Go-Round. Other than that, great repress. Color is a nice dark green.
