The original LP of Guerilla is a visual and sonic delight. It also included an extra track that was not on the official CD tracklist - it was hidden in the pregap.
Ive got my copy at home but all Ive done isn't transferred it to poly sleeves, no listening done yet. The vinyl looks nice and clean and dead flat. GZ have improved significantly. I was one of their biggest critics...they don't seem to be pressing on that horrible blotchy looking vinyl anymore...
Can't understand people still paying big bucks for the original Radiator??? It alledgedly sounds terrible, distorting at times and yet people are still paying big money.
My ex had it, and I'm mildly regretful that I didn't swipe it when we divided up our records. To be fair though, she has seen them 20+ times between 1995 and 2010, so she would have noticed! I just looked on Discogs and it's not in the tracklist. I'm certain it is, so I'll dig deeper.
Because for many people, record collecting is not always about the best sounding. There will always be interest in first editions of anything really.
Well... sellers are asking for a premium. But prices are starting to come down slowly. Discogs has 14 (!) copies starting at £60. The album's on Creation after all
There's no sibilance on my copy, it's just that the vocals sound thinny. But no sharp 's'-s or what have you.
The test pressing I got was pretty sibilant in spots, but not as bad as my original vinyl copy. I haven't listened to the released record yet.
This is one of the most compressed sounding records Ive heard in a while. Its a shame, but there's some nice qualities there....but it's so damn LOUD. Don't expect to be able to crank this much...
the remaster is 1,000 x better than the original, which is by far the worst sounding of the original vinyl lps
there really isn't. the original is one of the worst sounding records I own. the new remaster is sooo much better in every way
The query was comparing the two recently released vinyl remasters, not the two pressings of Radiator.
