    So, I was listening to these variants using my tt and a newer (2019) Onkyo amp I have, not very powerful, 20W speakers, etc.   The variants sounded muddy.  

    Then I got my new (vintage) Marantz Amp, and new 75W speakers, and holy cow, it opened up beautifully.  I still think the Clear and Black are the best, but all of the variants I have sounded really pretty good.   I wonder if just equipment is to blame for some of the sound. 
    Many times it's about your set up. I read complaints all of the time about different pressings sounding "bad", and then I play my copy and it sounds fine. That person could also not know how to properly set up their turntable.
    Indeed. Some of the variants still sound a bit muddy, but with the new setup, its hardly noticeable. 

    Aint that a man!

    Where did you buy the clear and the black one? My guess is from 10C.   
    Correct 
    The three versions sold at 10C (Black, clear & red marble) are pressed at Furnace, only 10C had furnace pressed.  All other at pressed at GZ in Nashville or GZ in Czech (for the once sold in Europe).

    that's a logical assumption. But what about the record stamper matrix code?

    The hunt for them was really fun but it would have been way easier just get them all from 10C 😆

    "Fun"😆... My eye twitched a few times trying to get Philly. If only I knew I could have just waited for the shop here to get them in. Sigh. But glad they're here for anyone who wasn't able to get them from local shops.

    I have a problem with the b-side of the Ten Club variant. The last song, Setting Sun, is cut. The turntable needle stops before the end. Has anyone else encountered the same problem? Thanks

    So Blood Records said they are working with an artist who recently had a release with them that they misjudged demand for and will do an unlimited pressing.

    they didn’t say who, but app fits those parameters. 

    So watch them for the next day or so
