For anyone who got Harold Land, is the edges of the records in your set also really rough?

Nice! I ordered 3 albums from Jazz Messengers (Roy Hargrove, Charles Lloyd, Barney Wilen) as 3 separate orders before realising that I could have added the tote bag. When I ordered the last one I popped a message in there and they got back to me to say they had already shipped without realising but will add a bag to the next order I place in the future if I let them know in advance. Really nice of them to do that considering it was my mistake.

The records in my Harold Land arent rough-edged but there was a bit of loose vinyl that came off when I cleaned them.

My Harold Land feels like someone manually cut off the excess with a chees grater or something lol Also got some excess wax in the spindle holes. The surfaces look great, though, but i can't figure out who pressed it.

Oh wow, yeah mine wasnt that bad but it definitely had loose bits that came off really easily.

I found a review online that states " The tracks have been remastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearant Audio, and pressed on 180 gm vinyl by the Standard Vinyl company from Toronto"

Pink Floyd ‎– Delicate Sound Of Thunder
Halloween II (2009) (Waxwork 2021 Reissue)


Got a great deal on this Kuni & FTB, then the guy just decided to throw in the
Haunted House sounds album which ended up being super clean.
This is the album I know the least by far involving FTB but looking forward to changing that now.
Kuni Kawachi & Flower Travelling Band ‎– Kirikyogen (1971) (20?? Unofficial Reissue /300)
Chilling, Thrilling Sounds Of The Haunted House (1973)​

Along with the Halloween II Soundtrack above I got these 5 spinatures from Waxwork just before they were retired! They're so much nicer then I even expected in person. Kind of bummed I missed Frankenstein but i'm excited to see what they do for the next wave now. Also, as usual I can't compliment them enough on there packaging of everything which is as good as anyone imo. They even threw in the slipmat and a MoFi sleeve.

Here's a second package I got from ebay 😬.. That's a 3lp record in there and was in brutal condition when I opened it. He literally grabbed a shopping bag, threw some tape on it, and wrote Fragi(le) like that would make any real difference. The younger generation learning there packing from Amazon (Or mayyybe a cocaine dealer?) is no good. At least it was somewhat cheap and not something I had to have, just kind of ridiculous.

That ebay package makes me question common sense and angry at the same time. On a side note, at first I thought the pumpkin head was holding a pair of panties ;)
........the classic horror figures are very cool (y)

Thanks for that.

Aren't they the Canadian version of GZ Vinyl? @Mather
 
Mather said:
Actually no, they're not. That's Precision Record Pressing. I've never heard of Standard Vinyl Company before. But they sound equally brutal?

Oh, that's right. "Precision".

I just did a google search on Standard Vinyl Company and the fact that both GZ Vinyl and Precision Record Pressing show up on page one of the search is...not great?

only been a massive fan for like 36 years… had these on traded tapes, then a bootleg LP, then nicer digital files, and finally on official vinyl.
