If I didn't already own it I would have bought The Comet Is Coming album. It's incredible. The standard press sounds excellent btw.
He's pimping this on twitter too...
This is false info from him - the standard version is also done at QRP (I have it and can confirm). Hoping this is just lack of knowledge from him and not an outright lie for hype.
Not trying to discourage anyone from buying the VMP version, I just want to make sure everyone here gets the right info.
Can you list the run outs or provide a pic possibly?Just curious, how can you tell the black version is pressed at QRP? I'm looking my copy over, but I don't see anything on the label or in the runout that indicates where it was pressed.

That's all I see in the runouts, nothing stamped on either side.
QRP rarely uses a plant code in the deadwax area, but there are other indicators such as the sticker on the outer sleeve and the Mofi-style inner sleeve.
I checked the discogs entry for the US black vinyl version, and it does not mention QRP. The EU version was pressed at MPO and does not use the Grumdman cut.
I ordered the standard press of Comet is Coming from amazon today...that's a known solid sounding pressing, right? (even if not actually a QRP press)

Absolutely. Dead quiet, sounds amazing.
The Comet is Coming was an exclusive I was expecting at some point. That and the Denzel Curry album are the only 2 that have been essential since the forum ended imo. And the only 2 sclusies I’ve purchased in that time frame.
Probably thinking of Optimal, which starts with "B" and has "01" "A" like that, but this just look like a typical Verve/Universal catalog number like B00#####-01. The "BG" is Bernie Grundman, of course.I would have to look it up but that is a scheme for a pressing plant
