The Fixer/Supersonic 7" - Arrived!

Spin, Spin . . . Spin The White Circle!!! Just pulled it out of the mail box and I will begin to spin the white (or bone colored) circle soon! Reports from: Seattle/Tacoma/Washington State/Portland/Chicago/Dallas/Texas/DC/Nashville/Maine/Indianapolis/Massachusetts/
Minneapolis/Virginia/SoCal/Florida/NYC . . .
Supersonic sounds great . . . it has a much heavier sound than the live recording from the UK performance (probably just a poor live recording). The rhythm section is thumpin and it definitely has a nice Ramones feel! It could be a tad heavier and with more distortion, but I subscribe to a scorched earth policy when it comes to distortion ;-)
The cover is glossy and the "Pearl Jam" and "Backspacer" keys in the upper right and left are glow in the dark. You can feel the glow in the dark ink on the keys. The glow in the dark ink is slightly rough and the balance of the cover is smooth to the touch. Both sides of the cover are identical except the front says The Fixer and the back says Supersonic and at the bottom of Supersonic side: (MWR0464 © & p 2009 Monkeywrench, Inc., With respect to the World excluding the United States of America, distributed by Universal Music Group under license from Monkeywrench UK Ltd.

So unprepared!
So how does it sound?
Both songs, The Fxer and Supersonic sound AMAZING!!!
I am sure when I gethome tonight drunk,I will be blasting the neighborhood again with these two songs.
Thanks 10C!!
Yeah, Supersonic is kicking my ASS!!!
sorry, I couldn't help it.
Yeah, poor choice of words on my part . . . well I finally found a frick'n 45 adapter (most of the 45s I have don't require one).

Ok . . . now for the bitch session (I want to try to fit in around here with all the other whiners). They need to issue all 7” vinyl at 33 rpm, no adapter required, and my record has a wicked warp in it. I have my heaviest Webster’s sitting on this MF right now trying to get it flat. 10C should at minimum sell or provide a frick’n 45 adapter if they insist on drilling a mammoth hole in the center of the damn F’n record.
Just fool’n . . . . much love and peace. Supersonic rocks! It could be a tad heavier with more distortion, but I subscribe to a scorched earth policy when it comes to distortion. The heavier and more distorted the better.
Spun it about 5 times now on each side, and it does sound great!
Why would you need 7" vinyl to be 33 rpm? That doesn't make any sense. The quality is better at 45 rpm.
As for the "mammoth hole", that is standard for a 45, and nobody has ever provided an adapter with their record. Everyone who has a turntable should already have an adapter.
That's hilarious expecting an adapter!
Good questions . . . Frist, I was just trying my best to bitch like the rest of the crowd (kind of making fun of the whiners). I do have some 7" vinyl with small holes (no adapter required), but you might be right . . . still 45 rpm. I have a Rega P2 and it doesn't come with an adapter (nice turntable for the price). I even have to lift the plater off and adjust the drive belt to a bigger wheel to change from 33 to 45. I would prefer everything staying at 33 rpm ;-)

Although, it would be cool if they sold some pj/10C adapters or even gave you one with your 45!
The size of the vinyl/hole has nothing to do with the speed it's pressed at. It's the amount of music you're trying to fit onto it that determines the speed. Having a 3 minute song at 33rpm wouldn't make any sense because the quality would suffer and only use up half the disc surface.
The size of the hole in the middle doesn't make much sense to me. I don't know why they still make them with the big hole. Most of the holiday singles have big holes but a few do have small holes. I don't really understand why.
Woohooo, PEARL JAM!!!
Bring on September!!!
BTW the Love Reign O'er Me holiday single I have has the small hole not the big one.
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
I suspect they drill the giant hole because it gives a more nostalgic feel to it. After all... isn't nostalgia the whole point of putting it out on vinyl?
BTW. I only ordered the Vinyl of backspacer... but sure would love to hear Supersonic right now.
Hey neighbor (I'm in 253 too) . . . by any chance do you have the gear to convert these tunes to digital so I can get them on my ipod?
