    Anybody know who to contact at tenclub for my record not playing right? I'm having problems on the A side of Gigaton I thought it was my needle but then I checked it on my other player upstairs and it continues to skip at the end of Dance of the Clairvoyants and during the start of Quick Escape, have dusted off the vinyl and still the same problems.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks  
    Thanks for reminding me not to buy a turntable.
    Avoid at all costs!
    Haha I’m just going to upgrade mine.

    I love the album, as others said the vinyl packaging and quality is pretty great.
    Mine is playing almost perfectly, except for 2-3 pops only on the “Sadness cause some of it was mine” line in Comes Then Goes.  Bummer as it’s such a great emotional song for it to pop right there.  Oh well.  Have gone over it with an anti static brush to death, and cant really do a spin clean session on it right now, not sure it would fix it.
    No time to be void or save up on life, you gotta spend it all.

    I am getting a skip on Comes Then Goes.  Record keeps playing but kind of annoying.  Have not cleaned it to see if that improves it.

    Any suggestions for best way to clean vinyl?  Rather new to this.  Thanks

    I keep meaning to buy a spin clean but never get around to it.   A friend of mine brought his over and cleaned about 10 of my worst records and they now sound mint.

    I get a little static on some of gigaton, but I'm guessing if I cleaned it, it would go away.

    Other than me believing strongly that a rock and roll package should not rely on Getty or shutterstock for images -- I really dig this package. The shimmering cover, the red works a lot better in real life with the photos than it does on digital images.

    I also do not have a problem with the punk-looking gatefold image of the band. That someone on here did not like.

    Maybe the booklet could have had a bit more "stuff" in it than the lyrics and Gettyimages-photos behind them.

    But really digging it. Too expensive? Yes. But still digging the package and reading through the lyrics earlier today.

    No Code is the best package, Binaural right up there, but Gigaton is really beautiful to behold. 

    I like the the lengths of each side, the way the songs are divided up.  Like 3 mini-albums.

    Finally acquired the "In The Midst of the 6th" US pressing.
    So, now I have both US QRP pressings.

    Now have to search out the EU Optimal pressings.

    The only accurate way to tell the DR of this record would be to measure the digitally mastered cutting files as they are the finalized and approved master before it goes to lacquer cutting. The vinyl isn't separately mastered, so it has the same DR as the 24/96 download, it just shows how completely inaccurate the DR meter is for vinyl and why they should add a toggle, but it's one dude who doesn't have any time for coding changes to the website so we're stuck with a lot of useless information.

    I know of one record where the CD-DA files (yes, 16/44.1) were used to cut the vinyl from and it measures 4 points higher via a rip, for the same DR7 master - http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=&album=away+from+the+world
