	posted a comment on M83 - Oblivion (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). over 8 years ago Mine has a faint fogginess also. Unsure if this was intentional.
	posted a comment on Vangelis - Blade Runner. over 8 years ago I was one of the lucky ones to spot this on sale at HMV. Had it sent all the way to NZ. I didn't want to count my chickens.... but i'm listening to it now and it sounds Amazing! Fucking Amazing! I couldn't resist putting it straight on so i'm getting... See full review
	posted a comment on Queens Of The Stone Age - Villains. over 8 years ago I thought mine was missing the download card too, but when i was taking photos of the lyricsheets to add here, it dropped out from somewhere. It's paper-thin. It's probably just stuck in there somewhere with a bit of static holding it in. There's... See full review
	posted a comment on Queens Of The Stone Age - Lullabies To Paralyze. over 8 years ago Great sound. Mine came with no side B label. First time i've got a MOV release with any sort of defect. Not a biggie though.
	posted a comment on Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Akira Symphonic Suite. over 8 years ago I second that the download card is a disappointment. No digital audio download (which is handy for mobile audio use).
	posted a comment on Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf. over 8 years ago Please, join me in asking Music On Vinyl to reissue this masterpiece! They have a request form here... http://www.musiconvinyl.com/request-release#.Wd2VBDBhBEY
	posted a comment on Various - Reservoir Dogs (Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). over 8 years ago My copy of this has surprisingly, maybe the lowest noise-floor of any record i have. Every time i play it, i think I've forgotten to turn the amp on/up or on the right channel until the MC starts introducing the first track.
	posted a comment on Ozzy Osbourne - Diary Of A Madman. over 8 years ago This album gets better each time i listen to it. And the sound on this issue is great. One of those albums you could repeat all day!
	posted a comment on www.gzvinyl.com. over 8 years ago Had more than one record that was manufactured by gzvinyl come out of the shrinkwrap from new looking like a badly cared for secondhander with many hairline scratches and several fingermarks on the playing surface! Not cool!
	posted a comment on Alice In Chains - Jar Of Flies / Sap. over 8 years ago Very happy with this set of EPs. Yes, SAP could've been split to two sides but it sounds great anyway and the etching on side 2 of that record is a cool touch. The gatefold sleeve and inners are thick, sturdy and glossy. The vinyl is glossy and quiet... See full review
	posted a comment on Pantera - Cowboys From Hell. over 8 years ago I had the same issue on just one of the 4 sides. The disc also wasn't crimped properly on the edge, seemed very slightly thicker than the other disc and had two labels printed in error on one side. I sent it back and the replacement is perfect - no... See full review
	posted a review of Pink Floyd - The Wall. over 9 years ago What a masterpiece. The NZ release doesn't disappoint. This record sounds absolutely fantastic. I'm not able to compare to releases from other countries but this one sounds just perfect. Unlike other albums, i can't bring myself to cherry-pick my... See full review
	posted a comment on Dire Straits - Making Movies. over 9 years ago As mentioned in another release, this one is also quite trebly. Don't have another version to compare and see if it's generic to this album. Very clear, but my system is not inherently bright and i've turned it down twice whilst typing!
	submitted Saxon - Strong Arm Metal. over 9 years ago
	submitted Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells. over 9 years ago
	posted a comment on Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath. over 9 years ago I have to agree, this really is an awesome sounding re-issue.
	submitted Pantera - The Great Southern Outtakes. over 9 years ago
	posted a comment on Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. over 9 years ago Sounds very good to me. I don't have another release to compare it to.
	submitted Roy Orbison - The Very Best Of Roy Orbison. over 9 years ago
	posted a comment on Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon. over 9 years ago Can you compare the sound quality between the two or is the original too knackered for that? (I have a '73 NZ press too).
	posted a review of Brenton King - Jah Is A Black Man. over 9 years ago Really bad sound. Harsh. Sounds like it was recorded from a radio broadcast!
	posted a comment on Holst*, André Previn Conducting The London Symphony Orchestra - The Planets. over 9 years ago My hi-fi setup is not the best in the world, but it is good and is good enough to notice this is a very nice sounding record. It also happens to look very nice, very glossy. I guess the glossiness is the type of vinyl used or the way it is treated at... See full review
	posted a comment on Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time. over 9 years ago My first picture disc and whilst it isn't the worst record i own for sound quality (see Metallica - Master of Puppets BLCKND), it definitely isn't great. That said, if you are going to own a picture disc, it might as well be an Iron Maiden one as... See full review
	posted a comment on Iron Maiden - The Book Of Souls. over 9 years ago Couldn't agree more. And the packaging/presentation is really nice too.
	posted a review of Metallica - Master Of Puppets. over 9 years ago Most disappointing record i've bought so far. This is the record that revealed to me how you have to research the sound quality of a given pressing before handing over your hard-earned. Unfortunately, if you're reading this, it is probably also too... See full review
