yeah I ordered the LPs out of the gate. I had issues with campfire (I bought 3 copies) the last one was decent. geogaddi definitely had those static problems. MHTRTC was flawless as said above. just wanted to wait it out before buying the EPs and replacing geogaddi and campfire.

yeah, I think the riff in the video, just sounded a lot like a BOC riff, it just psyched me out. I guess that is what those guys do best, touch on your nostalgia.

yeah, I listened to all of the LPs tonight. I think I might be imagining I heard it in a BOC song. eh...disappointed not to find it.

bleep must be figuring stuff a little. after a failed attempt at returning my first copy of campfire to the shop I bought it at (I returned my messed up copy, for another messed up copy, which I returned for something else completely) I bought an unscathed copy from bleep. finally no weird scratches ...

*frustrated* come on guys, i'm just trying to relate to a common problem, with a dedicated thread....not trying to troll or hate or whatever. in fact, i think GEOGADDI and MHTRTC are pretty amazing. i just think it is disappointing that TCH has been messed up for a bunch of people. it's an ...

yeah, I'm good, I know enough to know the difference between a little imperfection and a serious flaw in the pressing. sorry if this thread is hurting y'all's feelings or something. I'm going to try to take it back to exchange, I just feel sorry for my local shop. in the meantime, some of you guys ...

yeah, this isn't just static, it's a giant scratch that goes through 2 songs. it's similar to what other people have been posting pictures of in other posts (particularly the "order up" post)

yeah, I've seen those lines on other records, they aren't messing with the playability at all.....the stuff on Campfire is though, pretty badly. after listening to MHTRTC ,GEOGADDI and the first record of CAMPFIRE, I thought I was going to get away without issue, I guess not. bad thing is, I bought ...

I really love the mhtrc sound, aquarius blew me away with new details, devil in the details, you could feel the sky, music is math also sound amazing! But have "needle jumping" and a little distorted sound on 1969, didnt test THC though, but it seems that the vinyl feels "heavier", dunno maybe it's ...

what's funny is, (having never heard the vinyl) i was expecting GEOGADDI to be the best listen.......... (not that it wasn't amazing) but MHTRTC really blew me away the most, first listen through all of the reissues.

that all makes sense. still a tiny bit strange that they would only re-cut GEOGADDI? (unless the original metal work was lost or stolen) i mean, one could argue that MHTRTC is almost as good an album as GEOGADDI, that metal is a lot older too(if they are actually using the original metal plates ...

re-cut from original DAT vs. original metal work.

just wondering what the difference is, i have a little bit better than basic knowledge, just trying to get a grip on this.
how i understand it is: original metal work, they just used the original plates to repress the records
re-cut from the original DAT though, sounds like it was remastered?
is ...

quick question: I know this litho only comes with bleep but do the stickers too? you know the braille one and the others?
i didn't buy my reissues from bleep, everything came with stickers and MHTRTC came with the braille sticker on the front cover.
i didn't get the hexagon sticker (with all the ...
