Yes, here is a correct Discogs link, the one you linked to has lots of errors.

AAA mastering which is what I want. But some criticism on surface noise. How is your copy? Is it noisy?

Mine is perfect, but I have read about that also.

Metallica - Hardwired (Red Vinyl)

So what's the word on this album? Is it pre Black Metallica or post Black?

Full disclosure, I'm an early Metallica adopter who hated Black album and quit listening to them after that. I was fortunate enough to see them in 86, when I was 13, open for Ozzy while Cliff was still alive. But I was just so annoyed with the Black album in 91. But then Nirvana, PJ, and the rest hit so I didn't need metal anymore. It was the only going in the late 80's when hair bands ruled the earth.

Mixed bag. I think a few of the songs are great. Spit Out The Bone may be the best song they've written since Justice. The album as a whole may be the best since Black or Load. But based on your (and many others') opinion of Black, I know that isn't a strong endorsement.

I have this pressing too, not a 100% happy with it, looking to get it replaced. The packaging is amazing, but a couple of tracks have the annoying surface noise a few on Discogs mentioned. I'm starting to pick up original pressings these days of older albums as I find generally these sound the best. I recently got originals of Nevermind, Purple, Dirty by Sonic Youth and Pink Flag by Wire and they all sound top notch..

HUGE haul over the last couple of weeks:

The Strokes: "Angles" - Used, $6.50, perfect condition


Spoon "Kill The Moonlight" - New, $12, from a Popmarket sale


Kings of Leon "WALLS" - New, Indie blue marbled vinyl


Sting "Ten Summoners Tails" - New 2016 pressing


Extreme "Ponograffitti Live" - New RSD exclusive 2 LP red vinyl


Extreme "III Sides To Every Story" - New 2016 MOV pressing, top notch all around (one of my all-time favorite albums!)


The Flaming Lips "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" - New. Had to pick it up after I just saw them live for the first time!


Ryan Adams "29" - New, $10. Second to last RA album I didn't have on vinyl (now just need to track down a decently priced "Love Is Hell"


Jenny Lewis "The Voyager" - Used, $10


Beck "Odelay" - New 2016 pressing


Beck "Geuro" - New 2016 pressing.


Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder "Eddie Sings The Doors and Other Greats" - Found this boot in a record store in Milwaukee while on vacation a few weeks ago. Had to pick it up! Considering all the songs were recorded at different points throughout the last 25 years, it sounds pretty darn good. Not perfect, but I never expect perfect from a bootleg. Cool addition to the collection (even if the sleeve did get banged up in my carryon on the flight back home)

Wow that is a fresh boot. Has the Philly show on it. Who booted that thing? Is there a label?

"Fresh" is exactly what I thought when I saw it. Literally no other information on it. This is what the label looks like on both sides:

Guess that's how you avoid paying royalties or being sued...

There is a Discogs entry for it. Looks like it was pressed in the UK.

Has anyone spun The Rolling Stones Blue and Lonesome yet? Reviews on vinyl quality?

I have the digital version, it's compressed, but the more I listen to it... I think that it was an artistic decision to make it a little distorted to give it the feel of those early blues records. I haven't picked up the vinyl yet (I will), but I would think it would be a little better, but I still think you are going to hear the distorted sound and compression. With all that said. I recommend it a lot, especially if you like the Stones and blues.

I've listened to it digitally and I agree, I really like the material. And the distortion doesn't bug me at all. Someone got me a gift certificate to our local record store so I'll just use it on this haha.
