will play the vinyl when i get home tonight. it looks bad (scuffs, debris, but no obvious scratches), so i'm not expecting a clean listening experience.

Mine was pretty dusty with some debris, but after some good brushing it played fine. No scuffs on mine, though.

How was the volume on yours?

A little low on Side A.

I have to crank the volume on my system to get it to a respectable level. I contacted them hoping to get a replacement. We shall see

i'd be curious, too, as my two copies are beat up used store finds. this thread suggests uk 1st pressings are the way to go: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/l ... gs.214778/

I see someone on the pit posted about their replacement Lightning Bolt and said that the volume issues appear to be corrected.....for what it's worth

Good. Hopefully I hear back from them then...

If that's the case, I'll go for it to!

Thanks. I think I found a guy who is willing to sell me one.

Fearless

I've been ordering vinyl like a motherfucker:

Third Man Records Vault #18
- Raconteurs Live at The Ryman 2LP (tobacco & gold colored)
- Dead Weather 7" (2 new studio songs, never to be sold on vinyl again)
Pearl Jam - Lightning Bolt (and replacement)
- Constution Hall
Talking Heads - The Name of This Band...(maroon vinyl)
Natural Child - Live In Birmingham (colored 12" + 7" encore)
Infinity Cat Records - 4-way Split 7" (pumpkin colored vinyl)
The Dead Weather - Live At Third Man Records (split black and blue 12" + 7" encore)

I'm not a 10club member anymore, can I get the constitution hall set anywhere else for a decent price?

This guy has a copy to sell:

holy shit.

I just got my Arcade Fire Reflektor vinyl. It sounds great. They also changed the track list on the first album. Must be because of the limited space.

Too bad they didn't change the actual tracks with songs from another band. Then it would REALLY sound great!

Nice article from my local paper on the down-turn of audio quality:


Behold the wreckage of the MP3 revolution
The format has led to a depressing downturn in the quality of sound and listening experience

It matters not if you're a 10c member. Unless decent to you is around $200, chances are you won't find one for a decent price.

I'd lurk in the official forums / on the web store as much as possible in the next few weeks. When they went on sale, they said there would be a limited number available to the general public. You've gotta figure these will be the leftovers after they've finished sending out replacements to those who had damages during shipping. However, with the 10c's track record, they will probably go on sale and be nearly sold out before anyone gets an email announcement, hence the lurking. Good luck! This is an awesome set, and I hope they do 1-2 of these per year from now on.

Santos L Halper announced that there wouldn't be any for sale. The wording in the on sale announcement was totally fucked, leading many to assume, myself included, that they would probably overshoot the order to allow for fuckups and then sell off the extras. Apparently what happened was they opened the presale to non 10c for a day or 2 at the end of the presale.

Oh, jeez, I had no idea. Par for the course, unfortunately.

I should've saved my money for original pressings as I usually do, but I couldn't resist the lure of pretty colors.

Just ordered....

Superunknown - Universal Music Picture Disc reissue (will probably sound like garbage, but look great framed!)
STP Purple - reissue on MOV
Temple of the Dog - 2LP colored reissue on MOV

I got my Lightning Bolt replacement and it sounds perfect.

Picked up a copy of Collapse Into Now this afternoon, might give it a spin tonight
