LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
does anyone know exactly how many copies of the ladies and gentlemen vinyl were pressed? i heard there was a recall of them as well, is this because of the elvis version of the song? any details would be greatly appreciated.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I think they were recalled due to a fault with the pressing - the Elvis lyrics never made it to vinyl - only the cd promo.
I have a mint condition spare disc 2 of the vinyl set if anyone has a spare disc 1... One copy I bought had two disc 2's in for some reason.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I don't think my vinyl copy is the Elvis version.
Fault in the pressing would explain my mint edition copy SKIPS DARNET. I'm a big fan of vinyl, but this record sounds better WITHOUT the skips on CD. Same thing for LAZER GUIDED MELODIES. I have 2 copies on vinyl, both sound very cheap.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I would agree that Ladies and Gents doesn't quite work on vinyl. Nor does Pure Phase. However, everything else sounds fantastic on vinyl - especially FUI and LICD.

2000 copies on vinyl
hey man theres a hole in my nose where all the money goes
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
They were recalled. The first pressing was horrible. Drop the needle on the vinyl and watch it sway at least an inch or more.JPB wrote:I think they were recalled due to a fault with the pressing - the Elvis lyrics never made it to vinyl - only the cd promo.

I can ONLY listen to LICD on vinyl. Someone gave me a copy for free and it's like 100 times better.JPB wrote:I would agree that Ladies and Gents doesn't quite work on vinyl. Nor does Pure Phase. However, everything else sounds fantastic on vinyl - especially FUI and LICD.
My copy of FUI is the same crappy vinyl they used for the first couple albums.
Pure Phase at least doesn't skip and pop like Ladies and Gents and Lazer Guided.
Hey, is the recall the reason they are so expensive right now? I got mine off trade, but the label says $25. I think I got mine for much less. I got that and about 3 other rare records for about $20.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
ok, so it was a bad pressing, i have heard claims that there was a second pressing. is this true or are all the 2000 records a bad quality recall version?
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
there was a second pressing. and they were fine.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
are there different matrix codes or any way to distinguish the two is you are buying online?
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
What was wrong with the 1st pressing? Off centre or something?spzretent wrote:there was a second pressing. and they were fine.
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
Christ - I have never played mine. Might be too late to get it recalled if it's a mispress!
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I took mine back to ROugh Trade. Wish i'd kept it now as i've never had one since. They all got recalled.
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
Mine isn't WAY off Center. It just skips during a song or two
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
second pressing then. and a bad one.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I got the vinyl on the day it came out, took it straight home and noticed that it skipped a bit at times. I took it back to the shop and they replaced it right away, however they sold that copy to a friend of mine about an hour later! We only worked this out when my friend told me he didn't have the insert leaflets in his record- I forgot to return mine.
I noticed that the record was going for a fair bit on ebay- who'd have thought it!

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
Yeah, this record goes for like $200 on ebay. I wouldn't recommend it. Honestly, I got mine from a record collector who takes very good care of his things and maybe played it twice - and it skips during I think I'm in Love. Which is probably why he sold it to me for so cheap, not knowing that this flaw would eventually make it a collectors item. I mean the vinyl will obviously sound better, but this record just works better on CD. Someone already said that and I have to agree. It's the kind of record you listen to for an hour without having to put the needle over a skip or turning the record over. I would say the same thing for Pure Phase, except I really love the 12" photo of the band on the Pure Phase vinyl. It was always one of my favorite pictures of the band. Also with Pure Phase I sometimes only want to hear a 4 song side. I play the Lay Back in the Sun side by itself quite often. It's like 4 great singles.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
doesn't seen like mine is off center, but it does have alot of pops on the first side, but it looks really clean, so i'm not sure what has happened to it.
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
sounds just like mine. Same problem on both my copies of lazer guided. sucks.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
my lazer guided sounds really good, and contrary to what i read some others say, i think it's great on vinyl. the vinyl might be kinda flimsy, but it has great sound.
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
Really? I have 2 copies, both pop a lot. Maybe I just have 2 weird copies. Or maybe those flimsy records just collect dust easier. Not sure. Both of my copies have issues.

Dude it's 140 pounds on Amazon, crazy!

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
Hi, Re : LAGWAFIS - this is the only LP that was a crap pressing.
Grooves were too shallow , I seem to remember was the problem.
2nd pressing wasnt much better.
Other LPs were fine.
Re : Pure Phase 2LP - I've owned over a dozen of these over the years and all have been great.
I guess quality usually depends how much you pay for your copy.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I've got both LGM, I don't like the quality on either. It's like the same vinyl they use on 12" EPs.andyblacktoo wrote:ps. my vinyl copies of LGM, live at the RAH, pure phase, amazing grace and songs in a&e are all fine though. the LGM is the nice CWNN one with the free extra 7" as well.
RAH - great on vinyl.
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I've got two copies! One that was waaaayyy off centre and a good copy. Didn't pay for either of them. The guy in town owns a northern soul record shop and got them as a job lot off some dude so he gave me some Spz records he found. Pure Phase, two ladies and gents and a FUI which was pretty well worn...

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
Another 'fantastic on vinyl' record is the Euro Amazing Grace 12". The session tracks (available on complete works 2) sound massive on vinyl.
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
Played LAGWAFIS for a friend last night, the vinyl sounded great not as bad as I thought.
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I got a copy at time time of release and returned it after a few days because it skipped. I got a new copy which is fine. Never knew it was rare

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
So is the faulty pressing of LAGWAFIS worth anything to collectors? I got one of these from an import shop in Australia, and couldnt exchange it at the time, so I hung onto it. Disc 1 , especially side 1, has lots of skips and pops. From memory, disc 2 is mostly ok.
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I am well on the way on my vinyl adventure.....
Ive already snared a nice copy of Pure Phase from ebay and just received a MINT copy of RAH today, this is all sooooo good....
Indeed, Amazing Grace LP sounds truly fantastic.....
So what rigs are you vinyl junkies running?

Linn Axis with Goldring MM1042 (cheers Mrs Modlab!), through Musical Fidelity E10 and Richard Allen Dimension Five 3 speakers in the lving room, but with an output amplified through a simple Cambridge Audio A1 into Bose Acoustimass III in the kitchen (as the E10 has only 1 speaker facility). Sounds pretty good.
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I have a Rega P3, Creek amp & B&W603 speakers. I like it but my geeky inner voice is calling for an upgrade. Credit crunch says no though.
Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
Rega P2 / Arcam Amp / Dyna Audio speakers.
Fucked Up Inside sounds fantastic on vinyl. I played my father some Lou Reed and he could see why I still buy vinyl.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I usually buy $100 turntables from pawn shops. It's a little hard to get new needles and stylus's so I usually just get a new record player when my stylus needs a replacement. Right now I'm using Numark. I found 2 at a pawn shop so I got both. That means this one will last me twice as long. I use these big '60s or '70s speakers my folks gave me. It all sounds great to me on vinyl, especially records from the '60s and '70s which were specifically recorded for vinyl. I put on the Electric Mainline single the other day and it sounded awesome.

Re: LAGWAFIS vinyl lp
I bought my copy of LAGWAFIS for very cheap at a record store recently and the only thing I have is the needle scraping the side of the groove wall from about halfway through the B Side to the end. You can really only hear it on the quiet parts....
