Vault 7 processing/shipping has begun...

huntersthompson

Just arrived from UPS in Sacramento....wife answered the door....uh...."hey honey....that would be a great gift to wrap for me...." I muttered....
I guess I will wait a few days to listen to it....in a likely useless attempt to deflect a "really???? another album????" moment.  It is tough to sell the "I bought it months ago" argument....

Seriously though...she is cool with it...in fact, probably could not care less that I got it....but---you never really know...do you?

^^^Ha, I used to use the "but it was a pre-order from months ago, honey." Wore out that excuse rather quickly.

What is the "Hi Res" option?

Usually 24 bit FLAC files

for those of us still waiting to receive their copy is it sad, depressing or just annoying that someone has this up on ebay for $140 already?

Honestly, I couldn’t care less.

Gotcha. Anybody else have UPS screw up and say it got delivered when it actually didn't? Mine says it was delivered to me at 6:34 PM. I was home all night and it never showed up. Sat on hold with UPS for about an hour. Said they'd file a claim. Yadda Yadda Yadda. This couldn't of happened with a lame renewal shirt that I could care less about. Nope, had to happen to a super fantastic 95 LP. My luck.

Save one for me. I may need to purchase one if all I get is my money back in the long run.

Haven’t listened to Soldier Field in a long time...

Release floored me. It truly did. That song means so much to me and it really sounds great on this release.

Hell, side A is just great. Anytime you can get Go, Last Exit & Tremor Christ in the first 3 songs you know you’re in for a treat.

Love Jack’s playing. Enjoy, all.

I was the exact opposite. I was wanting Release to sound great, but it didn't. So compressed and loud almost to a distorted sound. Maybe just my ears, but I thought the sound of this vault was only ok.

you are right, it only sounds OK.

I have stopped getting stuff delivered to my home address because my stuff gets delivered to my neighbors, not even carrier specific. I have everything delivered to work.  If that's an option I would go with that.

OK sound quality, Ed's talking cut, the encore mp3 only. Another great incomplete vault choice by the ten club.

UPS is horrible. Can't figure out for the life of me, why anyone chooses them for delivery services.

Is the talking cut on the digital version also?

I can't say. I'm waiting to use my boot code to download from 10C. However, I'm having second thoughts about getting it at all after reading what people are saying about it.

Banter is on the digital version.

From one Darth to another, the mp3s sounded fine to me when I listened yesterday, banter seems to all be there, though the sound quality still drops off for the encores. All in all a solid addition to the Vault series in my opinion, lol.

Good!

Not psyched about this one at all sound wise.  I played a little trick on my wife and played side A of the vault, then side B from the Parachuttes “live in Chicago 1995 volume 1” bootleg vinyl and my wife goes “Wow this side sounds way better!! It’s so much richer.”

Maybe not richer, but it’s WAY WAY clearer.  Sounds WAY better.  I have to turn up the vault to 55 to get the same output as 45 on the bootleg.

happy to have it as an addition to the vault collection, but this is the very last time I’ll be spinning it.

Edit: the bootleg has all of the banter and ALL the tracks as well as a bonus  track or two.

As Darth Vader would say, "Impressive."
Seems like the vinyl buyers are really getting the shaft on this one.

So the mint green boot vinyl sounds better??  Anyone else feel the same?  Haven’t listened to it yet til after Christmas.  Might just not spoil my ears and just go with whichever sounds better???  Leave the vault 7 on the shelf...
