2008 Vinyl Remaster/Reissue
594427
This review is for the 2008 vinyl reissue available.

The sound quality on this pressing is pretty good.  Little surface noise and arrived with a few superficial scratches but nothing that affects playback.  My only gripe is that the songs don't have much of a stereo image so the songs feel a bit compressed when listening to them on headphones.  Not enough to totally ruin the songs, and the original songs are recorded this way as well.  I was curious to see if the remaster would open up the sound stage a bit, but it looks more like the remaster was intended to enhance the detail of each instrument while staying true to the original sound of the songs.

Either way, a great EP and it was pressed well and the packaging is cool.

I really like this album, but the vinyl pressing I received is absolutely terrible - sounds like a bowl of cereal.

WYWH is my second favorite Pink Floyd album and it was my biggest wish to take this into my hands, sadly but the copy I got was noisy and the sound was not good as expected. I read in other comments and on some information I found about that this is a previous pressing and also a previous remaster. I got another copy from Amazon UK and the difference is gigantic!. UK copy has the true vinyl feeling. Additionally there are also some slight difference in the package I won't mention because they are not important for the final result. You want this album on vinyl get European copy!

The version I got from Amazon was the Interscope Records, Aftermath Records, Shady Records repressing. The top left of the sleeve came with a crease in it. The vinyls themselves are also out of spec, but they sound fine for 12 dollars. The center hole is slightly too small and needs material removed to comfortably sit on the vinyl player peg. The diameter of the vinyl is also out of spec, and so wide that it prevents me from closing the top plastic cover on my Project Debut Carbon when the vinyl is sitting on the platter. This said, the vinyl itself sounds fine. This definitely isn't the definitive LP version of the album though. I recommend going after an original pressing or wait for a anniversary edition repressing.

im so stupid.  about 15 years ago, I sold a stack of bootleg and imports that I had purchased back in the late 80's.  this record was in one of the collections( cant think of what it was called...it was a black box set of vinyls.  the good , abd, an live.  something like that?)

anyway. I sold the all my vinyls for like 150 bucks.  :((

Please pay attention. If you are looking at the 180 Gram Vinyl record reissue. Do not buy it. It was mastered wrong. It sounds far worst than the original. Buy the CD.

these have been out of print for far too long, never personally owned the vinyl so I am pleased they've finally been reissued. Only really wanted Oooh so Good N Blues, but am happy with the twofer deal.

I have been expanding my vinyl collection recently, and in the hopes of further stimulating its contemporary resurgence I decided to purchase the 2008 Back to Black vinyl reissue of Urban Hymns (in Sept 2010). Already had it on CD, but what the heck, vinyl is a much more enjoyable experience. Not so with this reissue.

Pros: Jacket comes with two heavy duty inner sleeves with unique artwork on every side, though they lack antistatic plastic liner. Vinyl is thick and heavy.

Cons: Jacket is not a gatefold (doesn't open up), and both disks share the same space inside. I felt that was pretty non-standard and a little cheap for a double LP. Sound quality left much to be desired, stereo separation wasn't very good, and it lacked the warm "punch" I am used to with most of my other vinyl records that makes the music feel alive.

Deal-breaker: Disk 1 Side B, first band/song has a spot of raised, rough excess vinyl that causes the song to be unplayable. I returned the LP for an exchange, and the second copy had the exact same problem, same location! I sent it back for a refund. I believe that Amazon received a bad shipment of this "limited edition" album, and the quality control at at the pressing plant leaves much to be desired.

Here is hoping that there are some good copies floating out there, but be aware that you may discover the same defect has afflicted your copy.

Over the last year or so I had been wanting to get back into vinyl. I was aware of the resurgence and had seen many of my old favs being put back out remastered and on high quality 180 gram vinyl. Back in 2007 I really wasn't even aware of what all those terms meant. My experience with vinyl was from when I was 14 and could pick up a copy of Def Lepards Pyromania from the local grocery store while my mom was shopping. I can still remember her face when I picked up Motley Crue's Shot at the Devil and put it in the shopping cart with the eggs. Funny... So in terms of record quality I couldn't really have told you the difference between 180 gram or 120 back in 07 when I started looking for a new LP player. I had done all the research and was really leaning toward either a used Thorens or Dual if I could even find one or a new Pro-Ject. I was really set on the Pro-Ject too. It looks cool and it had a USB so I could rip my vinyl to mp3.

*** Fast Forward to Anniversary Time 2008 ***

My little sister of all people was nice enough to listen and actually get me what I really wanted for my present that year. She did not get me a Pro-Ject turntable though. What I ended up with was a brand new release of Gun's and Roses Chinese Democracy on Vinyl and a Sony PS-LX300USB turntable. To be honest my expectations weren't super high. I mean come on, I had already done all the research and had kind of set my sites on something a little more expensive. To my surprise though the Sony turned out to be a very good performer. Overall I have been very please with the performance, sound, and ease of use. I have collected around 80 records or so over the last two years and am happy to report that many of the new reissues and even the old records I've picked up at various places sound fantastic. I would recommend this player to anybody wanting to get back into vinyl and say work your way up from there if necessary. For me that means that the Pro-Ject I had my sites set on will continue sitting over at the store and not on my shelf for a long time.

Thanks,

It was in pretty good shape for the age of the record.  Some pops but I don't mind.  I miss hearing that on vinyl.

Nice!  I can listen to it over and over again and happy to see the vinyl format making a comeback!

Again, I should have read the critical reviews for this before purchasing, but this is my favorite album of all time and I am an avid collector of vinyl.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT buy the 10th anniversary version of this. The whole batch is poorly done. If you can find an original pressing I would snag it right away.

Edit: 1/12/2016: Just got the imported 2003 original pressing and it's having the same issue, although not as bad. Any suggestions?

Can someone please reissue this so that it can become affordable again?

"Album: Salival - "Rare Vinyl"
Label: BOOTLEG PRESSING
This tends to surface on eBay & also seems to be available both in the land down under but also in Eastern Europe. Description include comments like "Get this rare MINT LP", "TOOL - SALIVAL COLOURED DOUBLE LP "
Album Notes from Blair @ toolband.com:
I've received over a dozen e-mails in the past few days about SALIVAL VINYL being sold on ebay. According to the people writing me, these are advertised as being as rare as hen's teeth (well, as being extremely rare), and can be very pricey (same with the DVD/CD 'box set' - those that aren't even signed by a band member!). For those wondering about the authenticity of the Salival VINYL, I'm fairly certain that these are ALL bootlegs offered for sale by unscrupulous types. As the French might say, this is a travesty. My advice would be to save your hard-earned money, and to keep in mind that I'm not adverse to using an acronym that's also an anagram (where applicable). But, more about this later. Also, some of those emailing about the questionable Salival vinyl are wanting to know about any possible analogue release for 10,000 Days. To this, I'm sorry to say that I've no word yet, but will be sure to post if/when that day comes."

I give a 5 star rating, due to my life long love of my vinyl LP still in my posession. I have not heard this CD re-issue. An ebayer offering an original sealed copy of the U.S Columbia LP (bobdjukic), claims that orignial session tapes were either lost or stolen for some of the songs on this re-issued CD edition. Claims that songs in question were re-mixed from alternate takes, and bear little if no resemblance to the versions heard on the original LP. What songs? Can anyone shed some light or truth on this?
