Beatles Mono VINYL Box Set - 8th September 2014 Release Date (Part 6)

How many are buying more than one copy?
One to listen to and one to keep in mint condition.
How many are buying a "regular copy" and a Japanese Obi copy?
How many have a red mono box, a black mono box, all the UK first press mono LPs and still buying a copy?
How many have the mono CD box and buying a copy?

This could be a nice forum survey (I don't have the time to set one up)

 

Apologies if this has already been covered, but has anyone else noticed the peculiar presence of all of these mono vinyl boxes in this article on the GZ vinyl pressing plant?

Yeah and that's your copy she is drooling on.

 

Some Beatles VJ 45's sound pretty nice. However....Monarch pressed VJ 45's using styrene instead of vinyl, usually sound pretty bad. I still think nothing tops an ex-nm UK 1st press for any Beatles singles.

 

This would be a very good idea.

 

Look at all them there monos

 

I don't think I could tell the difference in sound from a new styrene to vinyl. How would you describe?

 

I thought GZ was not pressing these? Wasn't Optimal to be pressing these? I thought there have been many complaints about GZ presses?

 

I'd like the set on wax cylinders.

 

Actually I just looked at Fremer's article again. Pressed at Optimal. What's up with the GZ ????

 

GZ recycle records !

 

Exactly my point! Had me a little concerned to think GZ were involved.

 

Fort Knox got nothing on this baby!

 

GZ!?
What happened with Optimal?

 

Here's what they're probably doing: http://www.gzmedia.com/Vinyl/Products/Printed-parts-and-packaging/Rigid-boxes.aspx

 

They may just be packaging, or perhaps demand was greater than anticipated. GZ gets lots of criticism, but I'll say it again: my boxed Stones vinyl set was uniformly excellent in pressing and quietness.

 

Styrene wears quicker than vinyl. An unplayed styrene 45 might sound OK. But most VJ and Swan styrene pressed Beatles 45's that have worn playing surfaces, sound very noisy and distorted. Compared to a well played vinyl 45. At least in my experience.

 

My package has not shipped.

 

Im buying the Japanese Version to listen to, and a regular box to keep sealed. Then im gonna compare the new box to my 1986 Japanese Red Mono box, and UK original monos.

 

Optimal is definitely pressing the vinyls, im sure!!!

 

My needledrop of the VeeJay 45 sounds great. (Do You Want To Know A Secret, as well as Thank You Girl)

 

Are they hiring?

 

If I could afford to buy two copies, I would.
