The White Stripes – Elephant

Anyone knows if this release it was all analogue cut like the previous onces?

Great copy here, flat, no pops, clicks or other kind of annoying noise.

Actually, my copy was packed with promo poster & “I don’t know what to do with myself” Handkerchief.

Has a fair amount of popping and clicking, but thankfully much of the record is loud enough to disguise them. Still, I expected a better pressing from someone with such an interest in the vinyl industry. Not worth returning, but not as nice as I would have liked.

Hello,
Pour moi l’album reste magnifique !
Les vinyles sont superbes ! Le 1er notamment 🤩
Pour ce qui est de la qualité de pressing et donc d’écoute… ben je ne sais pas puisqu’il est sagement rangé avec tous les autres, sans jamais avoir été écouté 1 seule fois 😂😂😂
C’est juste pour le détenir 😉 Tu es fan ou tu ne l’es pas 😎🥸😉🤗

first copy A/B sounded like shit, replacement sounds good - bit of pot luck, me thinks

great pressing quality - no pops, no background noise - great dynamic

Another let down from Turd Man Records. Very noisy, jagged edges, and edge warped records.

Really bad pressing quality. I just opened two copies and both had severe dimpling on LP 1 which leads me to believe they may be overpressing these using damaged stampers.
It really is pretty bad. Maybe the worst I’ve ever seen. You thought old Jamaican records looked like an obstacle course for your stylus, wait till you get a load of this.

LP2 thankfully looks fine. But I haven’t played either yet to comment on how they actually sound.

I really have to note the quality of the paper stock used for the printed inner sleeves is also absolutely horrendous. I don’t know why they insist on using these. It physically pained me just removing the discs for the first time, let alone having to put them back in. They should’ve just printed 12” inserts and used nice polylined or rice paper sleeves to actually hold the records.

The printed paper sleeves you might’ve gotten with your favorite new album 40-50 years ago still would not have been ideal in terms of keeping your records clean, but it would not damage them. They were usually a soft paper stock. This matte paper stock is “hard” and scratchy against the surface of the record. It’s trying too hard to look nice while completely forgetting it’s original intended purpose - to PROTECT the record.

You can tell here that the guy that made the music owns the company that pressed it.
My copy anyway....
Outstanding sound and silent even on multicoloured vinyl. Every nuance audible and clean.
I'm not a White Stripes fan boy at all, but this is worth it for the quality of mastering and pressing for anyone.
On par with MoFi stuff, really it is.
