yeah, it's a numbered edition too. mine is 1520

I'm still waiting for mine...can't wait. How is it? Looks, quality of the cover and pictures inside, the sound?

 

It looks great, the vinyl feels heavier than my other 180gram records, but it isn't actually heavier. Can't play it though, as I said - my turntable is fucked.

Oh, just realised I've ordered the repress 'due late May'. Going to be waiting a while I think.

yeah, this wasn't meant to be released until May, but I got mine early.

The vinyl is pretty nice, I haven't listened to it yet though, too busy with this BoC business at the moment.

fuckin amazon ca still doesn't ave them in stock, and the price has skyrocketed.

I'm pleased with everything...the cover quality, pics inside, vinyl weight and color...AND the sound! So dynamic and clean. Fantastic release! Music? No comment. ;)

No. 0687

due to the immense amount of awesome music this year, I have secured myself a 1210 mk5G which I'm picking up tomorrow, and should be able to finally listen to this.

I think this is gonna be the first thing I play on it, too.

thanks! since my 1210 mk2 died, I've been jonesing.

When you start listening to the bootlegs (29th anniversary edition or the EMS recombination), you'll never go back to the hacked version that he released officially.

My amazon.ca just shipped! £17 shipped to the UK, fuck yeah!

let us know if it gets to you in good condition - coming that far I would assume it would get bent to fuck, that's why I never get vinyl unless it's within Europe

I used to live in the States and frequently ordered from Europe, and it's very rarely been a problem. Granted this is Amazon, so it's a minor possibility. Frankly though, a bent corner or two won't be the end of the world given how cheap it was.

So Amazon.ca is shipping it after all? All good things to those who wait i guess ;)

...and BTW there's a SACD version coming soon. too, hopefully download.

Just got my copy from amazon.ca. Had to pick it up from my local Homebase (?) but otherwise no problems at all. Very nice pressing, good packaging, seventeen quid well spent I reckon.

Amazon France have it now too, delivery time 2 to 5 weeks while Bleep is sold out, are they pressing more already? I still think I'm overpaying for what it is, but I didn't have a physical copy of the soundtrack yet, so it might as well be this one.

Liked the mastering hype video someone posted, shame my speakers don't go down to 25 Hz though, lol.

I doubt they're going to press anymore, it would demean the whole point of it being limited

Does it say how many there are in total on yours? If they didn't specify the quantity its limited status is a bit of a scam anyway (considering that their own site says there are "more coming" and your copy was already number 1520).

I live in the UK - where online is best to order this at the cheapest price? I don'y really want to fork out almost 30squid for it - although it looks lovely and the movie soundtrack is basically the best ever.

it doesn't specify how many is in the run, but to be fair a pressing quantity of less than 5000 is still considered 'limited' by today's standards even if I don't personally agree with it (the Warp20 box set was 5000).

do you have a link where Audio Fidelity state that there are 'more coming'?

I guess he's speaking about upcoming SACD version. The link is above.

EDIT: Fak no! >>> More on the way! <<< Can't believe this!

that's why I asked for a link regarding an official statement from them. If he is indeed referencing the SACD version, then that's a completely separate format.

ahh no need for a link, I checked

looks like an email to Audio Fidelity is in order...

it's disingenuous to market it as limited if it actually isn't limited.

Definitely!

I found this picture on the net: So who ever considered to buy it better do so. It sounds just like it looks like. ;)

To be fair to them it looks like they don't even really use the term "limited" on their webpage with regard to this specific release though. Check out the number on the Discogs images, after seeing that at least 5000 sounds about right.

I generally don't like to encourage the "deluxe/remastered/limited/heavyweight reissue" trend but this being Blade Runner and all, I didn't really mind this time. I have a couple of Hendrix records like that too, that just happened to be the only new copies available at the time.

they certainly advertise it on the actual record itself

just got a response back. so yeah, false advertising
