The Tuss reprinted?

hey

I noticed on Discogs The Tuss is available again whereas like half a year ago they were fetching high prices...

also theres a diference...

old

new

also the label on the actual CD is a paper sticker, whereas the old one was an etched plastic label I think...could someone check this?

if the label on the cd is not pressed but a paper sticker, rephlex is entering the ridiculous zone of doing things on the cheap side.

A reprint of the vinyl would be highly welcome as well……………

i prefer the cheap side to the release indefinitely postponed side any day.

yeah the paper sticker sucks, its got air bubbles and they reappear, also its stuck a bit outside of the cd.

Thats just Boomkat, all the CDs look different on their website.

No ones copy of 'Welcome' looked like that.

I could take a pic of mine for proof

Sounds like I'm wrong

Hmm, beside this there is a serious question for me why they delay and delay all the time since a few releases. Zwischenwelt springs to mind.

That is not speaking for a pro business…

I don't think they are reprinting The Tuss (the seller probably changed cases or something). But if they are reprinting .. fuck you Rephlex, why do they spend money reprinting The Tuss when they can't even get Jodey Kendrick's album ready for release?

Would be interesting to get some inside infos why their distribution and release politics aren't the same like years ago. And not to forget the aggressive plastic sleeves they used which made some vinyl foggy and unplayable. Things that SHOULD NOT happen more than one time …………

I think they just stopped giving a fuck now, in the past they wouldn't have done such a thing...

they had high standards, for Analord they tried different pressing plants just to get it right.

Yes, the vinyl is excellent and they even cared for some digital bonus stuff but hey, the last releases I had the feeling they tested my petience.

Quit rippin' on Rephlex.

Rephlex has always been very extreme in their quality control... on one hand you have packaging masterpieces like the Analord series and Universal Indicator Green (I am sure there are plenty of other examples), and then you have stuff like the subject of this thread and far too many other examples of just simply not giving a fuck. The PVC sleeves for stuff like the Caustic Window Compilation on vinyl though are the worst, as your rare release gets ruined and you can't enjoy the music, which is always been Rephlex's manifesto "it's all about the music".

I bet that was Richard's doing - that kind of obsessive quality control sounds like him, especially considering all the hard work he put into the Analord series.

My copy was purchased in late 2007, has an etched plastic label on the disc, but has the sticker on the cover like the second one ie the "new" one.

A sticker on the cd itself? Isn't that a bit dangerous? Imagine if it peels off inside the cd player or something

I bought mine a couple years back:

vinyl repress of tuss plox rephlex. don't want to pay £50+ on discogs

Vinyl repress would be nice.

I like the minimal style to the CDs though.

I'm really looking forward to checking the mail this weekend and opening my Rushup Edge record. I paid like 80 bucks for it, but fuck it.

imho its not rephlex's fault, its the stores like boomfagg whose fucking CMS does not accept NULL for release date. so every 14 days they set a new one.
