Are you calling it now...coke bottle clear?that is nice, but i get the feeling VMP wouldn't come through with a variant quite at that level

a black and white pinwheel would be very cool
Or even better, cut by a great engineer.A R&HH album pressed at a better plant than GZ would be very cool.
For 40 bucks a record, they should beA R&HH album pressed at a better plant than GZ would be very cool.
but Gz is easier for pretty colors..A R&HH album pressed at a better plant than GZ would be very cool.
you dont like the engineers?Or even better, cut by a great engineer.
Most of the RHH tracks are DMM and are not cut by well known mastering engineers. I'd rather they were at least all cut at Sterling or something for the price. Even if they ship the plates to GZ.you dont like the engineers?
Here's my copy. Hope it does it justice!View attachment 61923
this was RSD, photo doesn’t really do it justice
not usually a fan of alternate cover art but i definitely fux wid it.Or they could use the CD alternate cover art and really go wild...

...for the record this was the cover art my CD had back in the day.
what will happen to the staff afterwards... storf will probably try to do something like a stax records tone poets series like he clearly wants to do or write for p4k. cameron, matt, and tyler are probably completely out of a job, and i hope clay conder finds some good graphic work somewhere else
Wow, even the 2010 is better? I thought it was just the 2017 special TMR press. That blows man.I just wanted to add my 2 cents on the White Stripes De Stijl comparisons that have been taking place. Other people have put it better than me but I completely agree that the 2010 version sounds significantly better than the VMP version.
I listened to the VMP all the way through first and thought it sounded pretty good, though the first song in particular sounded muffled right of the bat.
Then I started to A-B with the 2010 song by song and it’s no contest. 2010 sounds better every time.
My suggestion to anyone that is still waiting on the VMP, unless pretty colors are your thing over sound quality, cancel that order and pick up the 2010. You can find colors elsewhere. Just look around! I can see so many even just right now. Head turn: so
many more!
Same cut isn't it?Wow, even the 2010 is better? I thought it was just the 2017 special TMR press. That blows man.
Yeah man, no doubt about it. I forget the user that reported this before I, but I can confirm. Sound stage is way better and the VMP just sounds muffled in comparison. Not that it’s terrible, and it’s probably good enough for most casual fans, but when you compare the two the difference is significant.Wow, even the 2010 is better?

I don't think so? I thought the 2017 was different plates. I could be wrong but that's the one I've heard talked about as the definitive version...Same cut isn't it?
They look about the same to me, except 2010 is pressed at United and 2017 was supposedly pressed at TMR but has what looks a lot like like RTI codes, unlike other TMR presses. So maybe WG recut them? Same engineer at least I guess, so I'd be surprised if he cut them totally different.I don't think so? I thought the 2017 was different plates.

EDIT: Actually the runouts look similar. Could just be that the 2010 is United Record Pressing who... are not good. And the 2017 is RTI.

Yeah I just find that lesser plants cause much more popping and noise even if the master is good. It's why I generally try to avoid United and MRP and whatnot.They look about the same to me, except 2010 is pressed at United and 2017 was supposedly pressed at TMR but has what looks a lot like like RTI codes, unlike other TMR presses.

Edit: ha, didn't see your edit until after I replied. I personally find that plant makes much less of a difference than cut, unless they really screw it up, which United can do, but sometimes they get out of the way sufficiently as well.
Yeah, I do as well if there is a reasonable alternative, but in this case I would take my chances with the 2010 on Amazon and return a couple before I considered forking over $150 for the 2017.Yeah I just find that lesser plants cause much more popping and noise even if the master is good.

Yeah I did not know they were the same plates, I will definitely give the 2010 a shot.Yeah, I do as well if there is a reasonable alternative, but in this case I would take my chances with the 2010 on Amazon and return a couple before I considered forking over $150 for the 2017.
Edit: I've had better luck with MRP than GZ in my relatively limited experienced so maybe I'm lucky.
I'm sure yours will be perfect, you have such good luck.Yeah I did not know they were the same plates, I will definitely give the 2010 a shot.
