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 album covers) or the litho.

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.

I took a good few hours tweaking my turntable making sure the tracking weight was correct, and that the needle was aligned correctly. The thud is only on some tracks though, not all. I'll try adjusting the turntable some more.

Everything else is great though. Covers are really nice and the stickers/12" print is gorgeous.

Love how the inner packing card was stamped with a hexagon, nice touch!

the beauty of vinyl....how quickly we forget all the imperfections we used to just accept.
AND that you have to get up frequently TO CHANGE SIDES.

i guess they deemed me unworthy of such a wondrous gift. no inner packing card at all! lucky they arrived unscathed.

I don't mind the small imperfections of vinyl, that's part of the experience. Though when a whole side is scratched and distorting, that's what I find rather annoying considering the money I paid!

Yeah that thudding you mentioned sounds wack, especially if it's only on select tracks (otherwise I'd suspect a belt if present or the drive spindle). If it's consistently on tracks at the inside or outside edge of the vinyl I'd suspect turntable setup would fix it, but sounds like you spent a good chunk of time doing that. I'm guessing you've had a chance to try other records too. Trying to think of likely reasons due to the record, but a lot of them would be visible, like scratches...even something not obvious like heat during shipment causing warpage would only affect speed/pitch and would be very obvious visually (lost so many records that way down here in this heat). Give some follow up if you get a chance...I don't have a turntable here, but I'd like to know if there are issues w/the pressing.

Unless packaging messed up, yes they should.

They're inside the sleeves, inside the shrinkwrap.

quite!

When you say "quite", does that means that you're agreeing with me, or that those albums will be released?

Still having problems with my pressings unfortunately. Tweaked the tracking weight and alignment to no avail.

Excellent represses, MHTRTC & TCH sound awesome so far.
