Saw 2

Probably been discussed, but why hasn't this been reissued on vinyl?

 has been, just not by warp

WTF why is the brown Warp vinyl so expensive? I have an almost unplayed copy because I've listened to the CD and digital.

What's the purest way to listen to SAW II? I have the 1972 repress and the CD, but heard that reissue was recorded from the CD, not adat/source. Is the original brown vinyl recorded from adat?

I would think CD is the ideal format due to cleanest/ low noise but if I ideally had an audiophile turntable setup, the best pressing of it might have a nice warmth and depth over the CD...

And dcom, yeah I agree. I've been waiting for a good deal on the OG pressing but haven't found one. Lucky I was even able to score the 1972 repress before that one shot up like crazy too!

I stupidly sold a new copy eons ago. I heard the black pressing is better than the brown

So the reissue is probably bad if not from original tapes. why doesnt warp don't repress. Ugh

I wonder of 24-bit existence probably not released anyways..

Treated myself about 12 years ago to the original black pressing. I always wanted this and Drukqs special edition on vinyl above anything else in my entire collection, so paid a bit of cash for both. Maybe about £80 each? no more than £100. Rest assured they would be the last two records I would sell. I’d imagine they have gone up in price, not that it matters.

I think there was. I’m grumpy with stuff like that so didn’t say anything. As per usual

saw 2 and drukqs reissues seem like the ultimate no brainer move for warp, especially in an era where their output has slowed down dramatically. there HAS to be something preventing it from happening.

reckon rdj has shut it down? would he even have a say in doing so? he doesn't immediately strike me as a guy that wouldn't want his work to always be in print, providing someone else handles the bizness/logistics of it all. then again, i'm sure multiple labels have expressed interest in putting out analords, tuss, etc since rephlex folded, so why hasn't that happened either?

all i know is that i massively regret not picking up a relatively cheap version of drux that i found around 10 years ago in a dingy little record shop

Warp is too busy pressing trillions of wu-lu and squid LPs...
