For all I got a bit sniffy about people being more interested in the stickers than the vinyl, I have to admit the BOC-print freebie is a lovely little thing. Really nice quality. Credit where credit's due. 8)

I got mine today. Highlight of my day. I put on Geogaddi and was immediately struck by the quality of the remaster. My sound system is modest but it sounds amazing! Seriously stoked! If I wasn't already a fan I'd be a convert. Not to mention the original pressings at less than mint quality were going for $120 or more and two weeks after I was looking the reissues were announced. What a treat! :D

I haven't spun Geogaddi yet, but I was under the impression that it was just re-cut, not remastered...

I've been informed that these have arrived at my old house :) :) :)

No vinyl player set up in new digs, and not sure when I'll be able to set up in future, but happy at least to have these on my shelves (and think about where I can use a sticker on something long-lasting enough....). More than anything, I'm interested in taking a good look at all the full-sized artwork.

Only sticker i used, mite throw the MHTRTC sticker on my CS1X but who knows, i bet someone will have theirs up for sale in the a few weeks. As for the Geogaddi stickers, those are just to beautiful to stick on any surface. Mite just frame it haha like i am doing with the Pre Order Mini poster.

it's just re-cut
and also, while i love the records, did anyone else have issues with theirs, on my geogaddi copy it has a really obnoxious scratching noise on the record
i was so bummed, that's my favorite song on the album :(

i haven't played mine all the way through yet, but i noticed some weirdness in the grooves on geogaddi. not sure it will effect sound yet. at least it will only cost 20 some bucks to replace now and not $300.00 for a brand new copy on ebay.
oh....and the stickers in geogaddi are cool as i don't know what!!

WTF is your tracking force set at, bro?! I used my Magic Window side to fine-tune my anti-skate, still looks pretty as a picture.

as it turns out when people talked about the downsides of an AT-LP not having a counterweight i should've listened.

Word, I used to rock that table myself. Decent sound but it's like dragging sandpaper across your records. Sorry to hear about your vinyl, man. That's beyond a bummer.

Mine came today too. It stuck me I have never heard BOC properly only mp3 which is really quite crap. Most of my favorite music I've heard before I bought mp3's and had proper albums so even if I'm listening to it in a crap format I can still retain in my head what it ought to sound like somewhat.

Anyway can anyone confirm for me a difference in the sleeve design on the original geogaddi vs reissue. The website says the six panel gatefold sleeve differs from the original.

any way of fixing that tone arm problem?some kludge-type counterweight?or would i have to spring for a whole new player? i'm not particularly against that but i really don't wanna spend the rest of my summer savings on a new one
