    I'm waiting for the official announcement to see which different versions are coming out.

    I have an old Brazilian pressing of it, but I'm a sucker for colour vinyl reissues :)

    I almost pulled the trigger on that Brazilian pressing off Discogs then heard about the RE. Glad I waited!

    I am hoping we get some HD audio of this as well

    Yes, would also like to see the source and pressing plant.  Makes a difference.

    This will determine if I even pick this up

    2 X LP Vinyl picture disc? Where is the decent vinyl to listen to the album in this box set? I think I’ll pass on that one.

    Yeah. I was not blown away by the boxset either. If they had unreleased tracks or a live album or demos added then maybe it would justify the price. Im sticking with the regular vinyl for this unless a different version pops up later that is more intriguing.

    I own a copy of the older Brazilian pressing.  Might of repurchased for a new colour vinyl, or if the boxset contained new stuff (like a live show).  I'm content to not buy the reissue.   Maybe someone will do a colour press down the road.

    I ordered the regular vinyl from Amazon. I don't really do deluxe box sets and this one seems very overpriced for what is included. No bonus tracks, live shows, or even a CD.

    creeped the AIC Facebook post on the upcoming release to see the reaction. People are overwhelmingly unimpressed with this box set

    I was reading online the box set and 2LP RE release has been delayed until January. 
    I asked at my favourite record store and he said it was available to order and then it had vanished.

    There's a 192kHz/24bit Hi-Res version at HDTracks. Could indicate they remastered from original tapes?

    After all that I went on Amazon and it’s in stock and will be here in a week. 
    I try to support the local stores but there is a serious problem with the distribution system in vinyl. I’m ordering it from Amazon and feeling pretty awful about it.
  • mickeyratmickeyrat Posts: 39,367
    seems it is in at least one of my local shops

    Mine sounds great... I have the bootleg as well, which sounds pretty damn good. It's nice having an official release finally though.

    I received my copy from Amazon, and it's going back.  The packaging was fine, the sound was not.  The vinyl was flat, pretty quiet, I didn't see any scratches.  The sound of the second record has some left channel distortion  going on.  To confirm is wasn't my turntable, I played it back to back on both of my turntables. I also listened with headphones and it was definitely more noticeable. I hope it was just my copy.  My replacement should arrive on Friday.

    My copy will arrive tomorrow. I pay particular attention to any vinyl I get from Amazon. The quality I’ve received from Amazon is not good and vowed never to order from them again. But, the local stores don’t have the record... what can you do

    Finally got around to listening to my copy of Facelift and I thought it sounded really good. I got it from Amazon when it first came out.

    I listened to mine at a low level the other night. Sounded good, maybe a little loud. Will have to turn it up next time and see if it opens up the soundstage or distorts.

    I had my local record store order it. I picked it up Saturday, but I haven't had a chance to spin it yet.
