Print is very nice, already framed and walled it. Geogaddi looks splendid, everything arrived in perfect condition.
I have to admit something though. I admire the artwork in their albums but have never really studied them in depth the way I imagine some fans have. I am wondering if all the images on the Print can be accounted for in the previous releases? I recognize most of them but one or two I am not sure. I think it would be a trip if one of the images turned out to be found in a future release. I don't recall seeing horses in their other artwork but perhaps it is found in the TCH booklet that I never bothered looking at much. Just musing. Anyway, jolly good show Warp and BoC! Ta.
covered in sticky tape here, some got stuck to back of the print, came off easily but stickiness remains,
lighter fuel will do it.
for all who want to know about Geogaddi, hmm, its not the same anyway. the printing is significantly darker, front and back, haven't opened it up to check rest but i get the idea. higher contrast in the colours etc, more grain noticeable on the back cover blue where artwork is enlarged. happy to have it for cheap but it looks cheap to the original imo, apart from the weight of course. looks for all the world like a russian, brazilian, mexican pressing if there was one for Geogaddi. their vinyls are usually floppy light too. the other represses look fine to me.
so, people who ordered from bleep, how is the packaging? has anyone had anything arrive damaged? I've been wary from ordering from them due to how many people on here have complained about their stuff arriving damaged. but it sounds like that is not the case....?
I can't say the pressings are as good quality as I expected. Playing these LP's on a brand new turntable and there's a lot of crackle and a constant thud every revolution on some tracks (on all 3 albums). Not impressed.
are you sure your new turntable is set up correctly? the thud you hear could be turntable related rather than the records.
also crackle sounds can be from static, i remember a new record i had that i played right away that sounded awful til i gave it some gruv glide (record cleaner) it sounded fine after that.
everything came in good order but so did my tomorrows harvest. I had a problem a few years ago with the apple and the tooth having the tear on the side of the sleeve.
