The Hotelier – Goodness

Honestly, the state of the vinyl release of this album is an embarrassment to the quality of the body of work within it. If you like listening to off centre, warped and pop-filled pressings of your most beloved albums. Be sure to pick one of these up. Hopefully one day it'll get a repress of some quality.

LP1 had scratches which must’ve been obtained during manufacturing process, resulting in pops. Returned it and got a replacement,but the replaced version also had scratches I. Different location that resulted in pops. Other than that, it sounds great. But due to the poor quality, I can’t recommend it.

Ordered this recently, my disc 1 is warped to heck and sounds a little wonky, and when it gets near the end of side A it gets stuck in a popping loop, and the side doesn't finish on its own so I had to get up and stop it myself.

Disc 2 seemed okay.

Lots of bad press on these OG 2016 pressings but my press of this specific variant sounds terrific. No issues with any of the 4 sides. Such a good LP wish they’d put out some new music!

i really think this pressing is just a bunch of unearthed/returned copies of the 2016 "Cerulean and Coral" press which appears to be a crap pressing.

more to that point, in fact, the first copy i got skips on Opening Mail. i went back to the store and they replaced it. the second copy skipped at the exact same point. and just like the 2016 pressing, it was badly off center.

i hope someone more knowledgeable than me looks into this.

LP1 is a bit wobbly but quite.
LP2 with some surfacenoise.
Overall a good pressing.

there's brand new copies of this album in this colorway circulating right now, i've seen them on sale on rough trade, the hard times, and i've also seen them in sonic boom in toronto (where i bought my copy).

i'm wondering if these are old stocks from back then or are they new represses.

Another owner of an off-center copy (second disc). I contacted Tiny Engines, let's see what they say. Hopefully there are good copies out there for a replacement.

This test pressing is /15. Straight from Chuck at TE.
