The New Record Stinks.

Musically, its incredible.  (see what I did there?) But the record itself smells.  Anyone else have this issue?

    Just run it through the dishwasher. It'll be fine.

    It was Jerry's car that was infested by the B.O. entity, not the John Voight car (and, yes, it was "John" Voight who previously owned George's car, not Jon Voight).
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I just cracked open my LP for the first time and I can smell the booklet from across the room. Wow.

    Definitely smells like paint or something...  it's not the vinyl/CD, it's the booklet.

    But then again I love smelling new CDs and books :)

    Does it smell like CRAYONS? 

    The gigaCDbook was stinky, too. I left it out on the porch!

    My Ten Deluxe Box set smelled like old vomit when I first opened it. That one sat out in the garage to air out for a few days.

    Here's what @Spiritual_Chaos had to say about the matter last time before people pointed out that it was something to do with the ink or the paper:

    I wouldn’t know. Tenclub doesn’t deliver in time. :)

    I’ll let you know when it FINALLY ARRIVES.

    because the Tenclub deemed it not necessary to send it my way until a week after it was released…

    Heh.

    To Spunkie: yes, it does kind of smell like crayons. Crayons on steroids, though.

    To Dudeman: My Ten Deluxe Box still smells like that. It's like the corpse flower. Every year I open it and people come from all around the county to get a whiff of it.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Crayon smell from uncoated/matte printed paper stock is the bees knees.

    Damn straight SC. Someone had me close my eyes and take a whiff back in 2002 and I thought it was crayons, too.

    But if anyone ever says: open your mouth and close your eyes and you will get a big surprise, take a hard pass! :innocent:

    We used to call the scent of newly opened cassette case inserts "the purple smell." Always had an almost grape odor. Loved that smell.
