Did anyone else buy The Fog gold edition? I found mine to sound rather hissy and scratchy. I took it back to Sister Ray in Soho yesterday and swapped it for another brand new one, which I've also found is rather scratchy. It sounds like I'm playing a 30 year old LP rather than something brand new! They've offered to replace it again, but I'm not sure if its worth it.

Could it be my needle just doesn't like gold vinyl?

Could be... I don't have The Fog LP but my brown marble vinyl of Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol 2 was had terrible surface noise on. I'd send a friendly mail to Death Waltz about it, but if it was me I'd probably keep the album, at least it looks fantastic...

Damn I wish I had a turntable again...

Loving that E.C style New York Ripper artwork

[Wes]

Well, I dunno, I'm not gone on this, nice artwork but doesn't seem appropriate for New York Ripper. I'd would have used the European artwork - I know everyone's probably bored with this but I like it....

Had to give the new sub a miss. Just a bit too expensive for me. Don't get me wrong, it's more than worth it but as much as I like soundtracks I can't ignore the fact that I'd be able 13-14 brand new LPs for the price of the sub. Sure it'll be a quality set though.

Also less than impressed with The Fog. Great item no doubt but to sell it as a limited edition and then release another ltd edition after the initial has sold out isn't on for me.
