Agreed, the reason I opened and spun this so quickly is because I assumed it was going to be at 33.Shame on me but also, shame on them for making their copy and pressing details so unreliable.

It's already been confirmed, it is shockingly actually 45!My David Gray is supposedly out for delivery today. Will update y’all on whether it’s 33 or 45 as they advertised...
Yea just scrolled back and saw. Awesome!It's already been confirmed, it is shockingly actually 45!
I am very interested to hear if it avoided the quality issues of the standard 33 release. Apparently lots of distortion and compression on that one...Yea just scrolled back and saw. Awesome!
Yea I don’t really trust 45 vs 33 or mono vs stereo when it comes to VMP’s details. There have been too many things that even Storf didn’t know was 45 when he was telling us details about it.Yes apparently they got the sole indie exclusive pressing rights to it! You know VMP shits the bed on the regular when people opt for different pressings because it’s assumed VMP fucked up when they stated it’s 45RPM . Shame on me but also, shame on them for making their copy and pressing details so unreliable.
I’ll let ya know when I spin it. I’ve heard about issues too and people said the mix was really hot. Hoping that’s not the case...I am very interested to hear if it avoided the quality issues of the standard 33 release. Apparently lots of distortion and compression on that one...
Not sure if this is old but just had this through about my Chicano Batman, about 4hrs after receiving the shipping notification for it being sent on it's own (still waiting for ROTM and a number of others to be sent).
Yeah, I got this about 2 hours after my record arrived at my door, huge seam split and all. Kind of annoying, even though the numbering isnt that big of a deal overall, it was the reason I chose the VMP version over the other options out there. Some day I'll learn my lesson here.
That really sucks, sorry to hear that. As you say, isn't like numbering has any material consequence but I found it funny that they send it after what looked like hurriedly sending it out lol. Album will still be great but that's a little cheeky, they would have known from the moment it arrived at their doors.Yeah, I got this about 2 hours after my record arrived at my door, huge seam split and all.

Nice! From my recollection there is a fair amount of fake record noise on that album. From what I recall...@Mather spinning my David Gray now...I gotta say....this sounds pretty great to my ears. I'm no expert or anything but haven't heard any distortion. Pressing is really quiet too. I thought there were some issues for a second but forgot the track White Ladder has the fake dirty vinyl sound underneath the whole track when I compared it to the digital.
Ugh... huge pet peeve of mineNice! From my recollection there is a fair amount of fake record noise on that album. From what I recall...
Oh yes. Me too. Did you know that Side C of The Soft Bulletin is riddled with random loud fake record pops?Ugh... huge pet peeve of mine
I did that for Queen Latifah. Happens to the best of us...Oh yes. Me too. Did you know that Side C of The Soft Bulletin is riddled with random loud fake record pops?

BECAUSE I SURE DIDN'T
You actually chose VMP for numbering? Or do you mean the limited number pressing? Because if you are choosing VMP for anything very specific, you may want to reconsider your options. They are bad at providing almost anything specific. Like, ostentatiously bad.
The thing is I almost always Spotify to make sure it's not on the original but for Bulletin it's like THE ONLY PLACE ON THE WHOLE ALBUM that has them, just those 3 songs. It seemed so out of place I just assumed..I did that for Queen Latifah. Happens to the best of us...
