no quality whatsoever. this really pisses me off. in my incunabula repress the center stickers are fucked up and the cardboard doesn't fit in its shape. my saw 1 repress - the whole covers are so badly made they'll broke soon. my björk repress is bad sound quality. why don't they make these properly? or am i the ony one with bad repress luck? |
||||||||
|

|
|
are they new or occasion ? maybe they did some bad prints and sell them cheaper... |
||||||||

:-( i wanted to buy saw1 vynil (repressed surely), i'll check before my AB3 repress is fine! as is my xylem tube repress =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the saw1 is new, the others were a find from a local record shop |
||||||||
|

hmm d'you've got some more informations..... ? oh, when i think at my saw1, the center stickers aren't in the middle , maybe i have the same reprint version like you .. but the sound comes good, no ? have to look at the reprint date .. |

That's more like a rule than exception. It's a common problem. :-/ Original stuff rules. I don't like represses. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i don't like them either. but what can you do. rather a repress than nothing. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Is there some technical reason for it? Do they keep the original press moulds? |
||||||||

(Wails at the thought that his twoism repress may not be very good) |
||||||||
|
|

|
They have a life span or something I think. Originals are so $$$$$$$ now :-/ Wish I was in the scene back in the day! |

i hope twoism rerel. will be good as ab3 .... |

my incunabula has the same center thingie on each four sides. if i believed them, the record would only have these three tracks: Bronchus 2, Basscadet, Eggshell |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you sure it's incunabula ? it should have 11trx @ 2 x 12" ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it does have all the tracks. all 11. but the centers are just messed up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it'll never be the same like the original presses ... so who cares ... it's on vinyl and it SHOULD sound clear and deep. otherwise you should bringt it back to the store .. |
||||||||
|

|
|
i want ab5 on good old vinyl |
||||||||
|

|
a freind of mine bought xylem tube and it was a little bended and had alot of scratches on it |
||||||||

|
it's nothing to do with whether its a repress or not - obviously you have been sold a dud neeta - take it back and they will refund you or get you another . the repress and the original should sound the same if the same metalwork is used - it'll sound different and better if it's been re-mastered . |
||||||||

|
|
...usually it's the artwork that is messed up or is in bad quality (slightly lighter etc). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you reckon they just scan/photocopy the old artwork? (I imagine lots of early 90s artwork origninal stuff wouldn't be still available to the record labels...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, they surely do that in many cases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yeah thats happened to me with the artwork but specialist companies who base all their business on represses (simply vinyl, sundazed etc), the repress is usually far superior, both with the sound (it has usually been remastered especially) and with the artwork (better quality cover prints and inners), also usually come with nice plastic outers. |
