Live Dead C/D, Reckoning C/D and all of Without a Net with A/B and E/F right out on to the grooves . Every other one had at least one bent corner.
Yep, I definitely made mention of it when I requested my replacements...
Have they agreed to replace yours? I've cleaned all them now so am about to start working through. I can see that all the transparent lps are off centre though but as long as I can't hear it I may let it slide
I know nobody cares, but American Beauty finally clicked for me. I believe I was just approaching the album with the wrong mindset. Once I listened to it the way I would a Neil Young album, instead of a psychedelic rock album, I could enjoy the songs a great deal more. And boy, is Kreutzman's drumming great troughout, but specially on Friend of the Devil. It sures makes the track something of its own, and not just another by the numbers country-rock track.
I didn't ask for replacements for the labels, only for sound issues. Yes they're going to replace what I've requested. Most of my off centred are just the labels, not the actual pressing, although there are a couple that are slightly off. But if I can't hear anything I'm not going to worry about those...
My WMD is noisy as a muthafucker. There's almost a constant veil of static across side A that you pick up whenever there's a quiet point. Ah nuts. This isn't a great start. Music sounds phenomenal though
Yeah that sounds similar to others I've heard about. I don't have that but I just have lots of light clicks on almost everything. Not terrible but certainly not QRP quality.
Alright so... yes the Mofi is better. But it's 2 LP 45 so you really can't compare. But yes, that's how good those Mofis sound.
Yeah the Mofi blows my mind. It’s one of the records I go to for record nonbelievers.
Check out the slowed down version of Friend of the Devil from Dead Set. Just beautiful! I prefer it to the original.
Yes! This and Workingman’s Dead are great Country Rock albums but definitely not wholly representative the band’s output.
Yep that sounds exactly like mine. Before the drums kick in and lasts about 30-40 seconds with like a crackle like noise every rotation or two. I thought it was non fill.
I'm gutted. Absolutely gutted. I knew people were having issues but I was massively excited to get it and now I'm having to sit with a notepad making notes on where there are issues and on what records. It's killed any excitement I had about this box and I'm not even halfway through the set yet. Devastated, man.
Yeah, it’s absolutely rotten. You try and listen and enjoy the music but you end up thinking more about when the next patch of noise will come and it’s just so offputting.
But when it's right it's great. I'm on to Europe 72 which I was convinced would be the duffer given sides a/b and e/f have some bizarre label shit going on... and it sounds immense. I mean... I'm only on to side B so it's got time yet but yeah. Absolutely fantastic. It's incredibly frustrating.
Yep that crackle on Live Dead is no fill, I've got it too. You're basically mirroring the same issues @greeny400 and I have.
Yeah down to the exact same records for the most part too. Wonder if we were apart of a bad batch.
