Screaming Trees - Sweet Oblivion gold vinyl of 1000 up now.

I grabbed one. This album is awesome!
Jesus though, the low Canadian dollar is killing me. This would have been a good deal, but with the conversion rate, it's fucking expensive. Nearly $48 CAD on $37 USD (including shipping).

What's people's experiences of Newbury vinyl releases? I have Wu Tang 36 Chambers (decent) and the Strokes Is This It (poor).

Was thinking about ordering the Jurassic 5 and Screaming Trees album but I'm unsure. Would rather buy the regular releases if the sound quality is better.

Any opinions on the sound quality of other Newbury releases would be appreciated.

Thanks
Not sure if I'll pull the trigger. My vinyl purchasing has been straight up embarrassing lately. I just can't say no.

I hear ya. I couldn't afford this but got it anyway. It is a good deal at least. Only $25.

There is nothing particularly special or bad about them sound-wise. Hit and miss just like every other place you buy vinyl. They are just appealing because 1) they are relatively cheap for what it is, 2) they are often numbered and limited, and 3) they are often nifty colours. As far as quality goes with the pressing, it's just fine (not sure where they're pressed, but I haven't had any issues with them so far as far as that goes. No flaws.). The problem with them is that a lot of the artists aren't providing high quality sources. That said, a regular reissue probably isn't going to sound any better, since they are likely the same recordings unless otherwise noted.
I got the Strokes' This Is It from Newbury, and it sounded crappy and flat and were too quiet. But I got the two most recent Modest Mouse releases, and they sounded really good. It just depends on the artist. As for this particular Screaming Trees release - go for it if you like them, because the regular black reissue is more expensive that this numbered/limited one.

I have Veruca Salt - American Thighs, Jeff Buckley - Grace, Modest Mouse - Good News, and another one I'm forgetting at the moment, but they all sound great.

RoleModelsinBlood31

Yeah I have modest mouse, Buckley, the strokes, talking heads. They're all ok, nothing special though. My talking heads skips. Sucks.

Dr.Teeth and the Electric Mayh

My talking heads skips as well. Same with both Strokes albums that they did. Glad to see most people have had a good experience though.

Is anyone else having trouble with their website lately? No matter what device or browser I use, it says it won't connect to the site because the connection is not secure. Safari on Mac, Chrome on Android, IE/Chrome/Firefox on Windows. Home and work. I haven't been able to get on their site for 2-3 weeks.

Yep same

I've gotten on their site using Chrome on my iPhone. The site layout has changed. They also released a slew of their "exclusive" vinyl.

HesCalledDyer

Per their fb page, they updated their website last night to fix the issue & advised clearing your internet cache. I did and it works fine now.

I just dropped the needle on this and so far it sounds great!

And it is probably the COOLEST colored vinyl I have. The gold swirls make it. Imagine what a wagon wheel's spokes do when they get moving fast and you have an idea what this looks like on the TT. If you cover up the label with your hand and just look at the vinyl, you'd swear it keeps changing direction.

Just arrived in Burlington, Ontario, Canada - spinning as I type is Dollar Bill - the vinyl sounds great and I agree that it one of the best looking records I own for what it's worth.

I didn't really understand what you meant (or, how this would look on vinyl I should say) until I saw it for myself. You're right. It IS the coolest looking record when spinning! It tripped me out at first, lol. Just for that it's a great buy. But it sounds super good too. Very happy I got this one!
