Still waiting on my mine, so I can compare the EU to the US pressing.

How does the eu pressing sound?  solid show?

I'm waiting so I can listen to both. I have listened to the FLAC-HD, and it sounds good. So, looking forward to the vinyl.

No. And it hasn't in a few years.

I never understood why all vinyl does not come with a digital download.

For a start, $, but also, why should it?

Exactly. Similarly, why do shoes come without socks?

I never understood why vinyl people want lossy mp3s. But I've said this every time a vault comes out. Just like someone complains there's no digital download with the vault every time a vault comes out.

This is hard to understand? It's nice to have mobile version of an album that when we are home we listen to on vinyl. Pretty common. So common that pearl jam used to do it with vaults!

Many albums I order on vinyl (especially pre-orders) come with some form of digital download. Most of us want them to play in our cars, iPods in the gym, etc. Sound quality isn’t exactly paramount in those situations so who really cares if it’s lossy? If you’re paying $67 for a vinyl record, you shouldn’t have to fork over another $10-15 to get the same album in a digital format.

$ for what? A little bit of bandwidth? A digital file shouldn’t cost extra when you’re already forking over $67 for a vinyl record.

Just curious, should a digital version of a book come with a hardback?  Maybe some do, but most I'd think do not.  Why should vinyl come with a download?  CDs don't come with them either.

You can both transport and read a physical book and a digital one the same. Both have the same function and similar form.  You can’t take vinyl records with you on the go. A CD doesn’t need to because you can just rip it onto your computer and make your own digital files.
