Reviews
Picked up my replacements today and on first listen, the problems with Side A seem to have been fixed. *phew*- Repressings now out. I exchanged mine this weekend but yet to play it.
Must've lucked out because my copy has no issues whatsoever, but it's really unfortunate that this didn't turn out good for most.
Heartbreaking that this phenomenal album, and a limited run at that, was MARRED by shoddy production/pressing issues. It's rare we even get to hear/see Paddy.
My white vinyl copy has faint non sounding scratch on side c. Also first disc is slightly warped but doesn't effect playback but yes static on last minutes of track.- I 'just' have the static at the end of side A. That's pretty annoying but seems like I've got off lightly compared to the warping and off-centre presses. Sounds like the black vinyl is plagued with problems too.
- Edited 6 years agoI understand that most -if not all- of these have been pressed off-centre (this is the "manufacturing fault" the Rough Trade site refers to). Hopefully there will be a re-press, otherwise save your money.
From the Rough Trade site today (4th of Feb19):
*The LPX2+ is currently off sale due to a manufacturing fault. Updates will follow*- Seems a few folk (including myself) are having problems with the end of side 1. Some serious popping going on. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/paddy-mcaloons-i-trawl-the-megahertz-reissue.572843/page-2
- Anyone know what the etching is or have a pic please
