Reviews
Show All 24 Reviews- Reached out to Drag City to see if we can get information on pressing dates. The rep I spoke to said the album has been pressed more than 50 times since 2006, but they don't consider them "reissues" because it's been the same plant pressing them all along.
What we don't know is if are they making new stampers from the master every time they repress, and since there aren't subsequent pressing dates listed it's harder to track batches that may have had lower sound quality from batches with higher quality.
The rep said they'd try to track down the pressing-date info and to see if there are variations in the runout codes between pressings. Who knows when/if they'll ever respond, but it was a worthwhile question.
I picked up a copy of what I'm assuming is the 2022 repressing and can post a review when I get a chance to listen to it. - Can anyone confirm if the recent 2022 re-release has the same distortion issues as per some other releases?
- Is there any way to identify whether a record is an original 2006 pressing vs. one of the many later reissues? This was repressed a few times, but it seems there is no documented variation information to help differentiate between pressings.
- My copy sounds great to me with little to no surface noise but there is this weird crackly sound at the end of Only Skin. The packaging is exquisite, especially the booklet.
- Both are currently available on Bandcamp for $26, Drag City for $24. Fucking scalpers are a plague on this hobby.
- why would someone pay 70$ for this? smh just wait it out my friend, it will either get some nice anniversary reissue or a repress
