Can you actually play those things?
I think I read in the description that the vinyl itself is only available in the store, not online on the 3rd. Good luck though, I could have misread that.
I wonder how many folks who collect vinyl these days actually own a record player.
Now you can record 'Rolling Stone Blues' in stereo ....
I was quoting a line from Beck's Where It's At LOL
I own also 2 record players and vinyl is the only thing I play. On an average day, I spin around 2 or 3 records. Don't want to start a discussion about the sound quality, but I like the feel of it, and the procedure of putting a record on (dust cleaning, turning side) and the format of the sleeve. I own vinyl mainly to play it but I also like the 'collecting' part of it.
Spot on review...except I can't comment on the vinyl listening experience as I sadly haven't had that pleasure yet!
Nice review, agree with most of it. Regarding the vinyl: I was actually surprised in a positive way with how it sounded. I agree it could be much better, but it's good enough for me. Blue & Lonesome by the way was terrible on vinyl and HD is much better.
in-store sales only.
Sadly I waited too long and missed pulling the trigger on the international online sales. I tried from the US store but it wouldn't ship outside the US.
The one that got away! In other news, shipping notices finally starting to happen, and the Blue Jays vinyl showed up last night! So I have that, and the zoetrope. Two of the more esoteric releases, and yet to get a black vinyl (or any of the colours) or even the CD!
At moment i have Black,Blue,Purple,Green,Clear,Carnaby and Zoetrope….hope to bought PS cover a decent price but on ebay is around 100€……

If the fuchsia vinyl was not in it, wat was? Did te shrink contain the purple transparant sticker?
I need to have more listens but my clear one seems to sound better than the black one. Also black seemed a bit noisy. The only major issue I have with both copies is that A side is off center, in a similar manner on both.
The LP was left out of the shipment completely same as originally happened. So that copy is still missing from my collection.
Glad to hear some have started showing up finally!!!
Interesting, could be possible. Quality Record Pressings (see above) writes about their Clarity Vinyl: "... any particles of carbon black pigment that happen to be on the surface of the groove could introduce surface noise." Without adding carbon, the stylus would "effortlessly slide down a glossy and silky smooth groove wall". But articles/reports from others claim that the carbon particles settle into the pores of the vinyl, resulting in a lower noise level as the surface is smoother. It's a bit unclear what to believe.
Talk about your favorite band.

I know that the HD Paul Smith cover is sold out at the online store, but I was wondering if there is the possibility of finding them in the physical store in Carnaby.

This thread really tickles me ...
It's, thus far, 13 pages of conversation about looking at LP records and how many different colours/covers they come in.
We've had maybe two or three comments about what the vinyl cut sounds like

haha... very true
I got mine last weekend from thr RS Store, the blue one with the alternative cover art (slight improvement in the artwork as I think the cover art is quite pathetic, sadly) The album sounds great, so much to hear and enjoy. No isues at all , great sound, I'm loving it!

Got my 2nd order from Platomania today and it STILL doesn’t have the fuschia vinyl in it!! Had to reach out again. Did get the black vinyl and my Flintstones print a little HD book and the Paradiso orange vinyl to replace the Paris one they sent on accident. Hoping third times a charm here. Geeeeeez. Still missing blue and Boxset and picture disc. Plus SSoH single releases and angry CD.

well i'm very disappointed in my copy
i got the clear vinyl from my record store today and it sadly has a lot of problems
there is a very loud grinding noise in the right channel at the beginning of both sides to the middle of each side loud enough to be heard over even angry and bite my head off at reasonable volume
in the left channel there is randomly in several seconds at a time intervals a VERY loud scratching/scraping noise
so loud that it over powers the music
and finally the lead outs on both sides are to short for the auto return to work on my table
its not my table or cart that is the issue i've ruled that out and checked on another table too with the same results
i know how to set up and calibrate my turntables and it's not them it's the record
anyone else have this problem?
guess i'll have to get another copy

Seems that clear vinyl (in general) is the 'worst' sounding variant. I read a comment from a model maker who said that when he cuts his plexiglass with a knife, it's the same noise as when he puts the needle of his turntable onto clear vinyl. As mentioned above, black vinyl seems to be the better choice - [iorr.org] . On the other hand, the UHQR vinyl by Analogue Productions is called 'Clarity Vinyl' but has a more milky color - [QualityRecordPressings.com] , [i.Redd.it] .

I need to have more listens but my clear one seems to sound better than the black one. Also black seemed a bit noisy. The only major issue I have with both copies is that A side is off center, in a similar manner on both.

Interesting, could be possible. Quality Record Pressings (see above) writes about their Clarity Vinyl: "... any particles of carbon black pigment that happen to be on the surface of the groove could introduce surface noise." Without adding carbon, the stylus would "effortlessly slide down a glossy and silky smooth groove wall". But articles/reports from others claim that the carbon particles settle into the pores of the vinyl, resulting in a lower noise level as the surface is smoother. It's a bit unclear what to believe.
