What the hell? I thought it had another off center hole already drilled?

>>70551304

Some copies had, some didn't. Apparently Boyd himself drilled the holes.

>>70550499
thats so cool

>>70551215
How does it not get fucked up when the second and third track cross?

>>70551588

Probably because they're on each side

this is kind of typical gimmicky shaped disc territory, but I think it's neat.

>>70551599
That makes a lot of sense.
Damn clear vinyl, making me feel stupid.

The king of gimmicks

>2 vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels
>1 hidden track plays at 78 RPM, one plays at 45 RPM, making this a 3-speed record
>Side A plays from the inside out
>Plays an electric or acoustic intro for “Just One Drink” depending on where needle is dropped. The grooves meet for the body of the song.
>Matte finish on Side B, giving the appearance of an un-played 78 RPM record
>Both sides end with locked grooves
>Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram

I'm excited. The Vinyl industry is killing itself trying to keep up with the demand and some new plants is just what they need. Might bring down costs too in the long run.

>Housed in a laser-cut wooden jacket with aluminum spines. Includes 3 inserts, an owner instruction card, and a pair of cotton gloves to handle the vinyl.

>According to Third Man Records, these are the first ever commercially available gold and platinum metallic LPs.

Just another gimmicky mess, but hey, it's worth at least 350 bucks

>>70552743

And they tarnish extremely quickly, making them look exactly the same.

only the gold one, the platinum one stays pretty.

it's still unorthodox.

Joyful Noise does cool pressings, and that's a great EP.

>In anticipation of their yet to be titled new record (Optica), Shout Out Louds sent a collection of limited box sets to various fans and members of the press. The boxes included a record mold, a distilled bottle of water, and a set of instructions (also made available via YouTube) to make an actual record of ice containing the song Blue Ice.
Hand numbered and limited to 10.

I've got this one, came pre-drilled. First and second presses had second holes, later reissues apparently didn't.

It's a neat little gimmick - using the off-center hole gives a weird whooping siren effect to the groove. Playing it at 78rpm usually provides enough off-center momentum to throw the tonearm away from the groove entirely.

>>70553446
That's hilarious, don't know if its worth it to have in your library though...

There was that Perfect Pussy record which they tried to use menstruation blood in the vinyl, but they had to use red vinyl pellets because the blood either turned black or vanished in the clear vinyl.

>The album was originally released by SST Records on lock groove vinyl, which allowed the listener to listen to the remaining few seconds of each composition for as long as they desired. On the original vinyl recording, Ranaldo created a few of the tracks directly in the mastering studio where the cutting of the original vinyl version took place.[2] In addition to the locked grooves, the LP was mastered at 45 RPM (although the vinyl's record label also gave a "varispeed" designation, suggesting that the record could be enjoyed at any speed) and also contained on the album's second side an engraving of the serpent designed by Savage Pencil, which was given its own track number, title, and facetious "infinity" track length.

>>70554993

How was the vinyl version like? Like, the records were kept "loose" inside, with no inner sleeves?
