You just made me even more excited for Geogaddi to arrive in the mail than I already was. It ought to be here soon.

Does anyone find that MHTRTC attracts a lot more dust than other albums?

The extra dust is all part of the retro feel. That's the length BOC go to for authenticity... ;-)

The Hi Scores one is a nice reissue. It's interesting seeing the back image in full color and the insert is pretty high-quality. I don't regret spending $20 on that EP.

Bleep recently got the corrected repress of Trans Canada Highway back in stock. I bought one and it sounds superb. It was the last vinyl I needed, but kept holding off buying it until I could find a genuine 2014 corrected version.

Before that, I got lucky and ended up with a defect free copy of Twoism, even though it was the first issue that others had so much trouble with. Proof that not every one of those was faulty.

All of the 2104 corrected represses of the 2013 versions that had issues (Twoism, Campfire, Trans Canada Highway) seem to be VERY hard to find in the US. I don't think any local stores I know restocked the fixed ones. I'm not sure about Amazon, as they hold bigger stock than smaller stores, and could possibly have gotten restocked with the corrected versions, but not sure.

Does anyone know if Geogaddi ever started shipping as new/sealed with the corrected side E/F? As far as I know, people who complained of defective copies got replacements of only that 3rd record, and I don't know if it was ever actually officially issued again with a new 3rd record.

I bought Geogaddi almost a year ago in a record store here in Las Vegas, and I'm unaware of any defects (I've played the whole thing to death at this point). What was the problem with side E?

Distortion throughout the track Corsair. Scroll back to some early pages of this thread and it taks about it. If you go to Discogs release page, you will see a separate entry for the replacement record, but no one has entered anything for the corrected side being issued as the full set. I don't think it was.

I actually haven't played Corsair on my Geogaddi vinyl yet. If it's defective, where do I write/email to?

Shoot bleep support an email, but its been a while now so they miiiight not be as helpful.

They will ask for pictures and / or sound recording of he defects. I used my phone voice recorder (shit quality) and they were cool with it. I am assuming it was for insurance purposes?

Oh God don't remind me of this monumental fuckup again.

After Bleep sent me a third defective batch of replacements, I just gave up.

Just got myself a copy of the twoism reissue. What issues where people reporting with it initially? I will have a listen tomorrow but I am tied up today so I only had a chance to listen to sixtyniner, but it all seems to be in good quality even if the record is slightly (ever so) warped.

Just got back from Hong Kong and was stoked to find a copy of the most recent HI SCORES reissue in an HMV shop there. Needless to say, it came home with me. :D

Geogaddi repress and Hi Scores repress came in the mail yesterday. Both in good order, making me a giddy fanboy.

I guess I waited long enough that I have the good batch of represses as there are no issues with my vinyls. The only complaint (and a minor one than that) that I have is that my copy of Hi Scores didn't come with a download card like the others did. I would record it from my turntable, but I have the crappy Audio-Technica LP60 which is always second-guessing itself as to how fast or slow to play a record. But still, no serious issues that I've noticed...

Over the last 6 months I have gathered up all of the represses. They were my first priority once I set up a turntable. I've gotten all of them (except for Hi Scores) through Amazon, and I have no issues with them at all. I'm playing them on a Pro-Ject Debut III, and they sound great. Actually I'm currently listening to Trans Canada as I type this. mmmmm the stereo really brings out all these hidden sounds in Skyliner.
