Needles & Grooves

Did you get your copy? I just got the shipping notice for my blue version today.

Yeah. I got the deluxe from my local. Blue is on the way from Rough Trade. It will be interesting to compare them.

Please share your impressions. I'm very curious. This was a tough choice.

I ordered the inferior blue guess I’ll make a record bowl

I'm excited for it, even though I think its 2 LP 45RPM doesn't seem right for this band.

My blue copy is flat and sounds great. Happy to not have to flip every 2-3 songs.

My blue copy sounds great as well! Great album

All of you saying the blue sounds good are clearly lying. You need to pay the extra $8 for a good sounding copy.

I will admit, a part of me is tempted to double up, as it looks as though the 2xLP is beginning to sell out everywhere. Please report back on the comparison!

The attraction with the double LP for me was the gatefold and booklet. I think I would have chosen the double if it was a tip-on jacket (it's not is it?). But if the sound is markedly better, I would also have no hesitation in doubling up. I feared that the blue would be like the yellow colored version of their first LP, which is quite noisy. Glad to hear that doesn't seem to be the case.
