My black copy sounds pretty good but has a lot a surface noise (crackles and hisses), especially on the 3rd side (after wet cleaning). Disappointing !

Same here. It sounds like a clicking noise after one of the tracks. Just assumed it was dirt or debris.

My copy of this has the same issues even without cleaning.

So you got surface noise after wet cleaning the records or even before that?

Great sound, excellent packaging, good price, great record, and sexy music :)

This is one of the best sounding LPs I own. No noise whatsoever. The music dances right off the vinyl, sounds magical and very alive like the band is playing in the room with you. I've been referencing this record for any new speakers I test out. Excellent pressing/mastering!

Yeah I'm listening to it right now and it's unbelievable just on a stock Fluance RT80. There is a lot of crackle and pop on Side C on my copy though.

The girl group Warpaint from Los Angeles could look forward to a lot of attention, after the release of their debut The Fool in 2010. These four photogenic musicians were quite flashy in the indiemarkt turned off, with a hipster like appearance and band photos which they invariably fall in love together tangles. Content left their sounds to be desired with whimsical music that depth and vulnerability suggests but, mainly due to lack of Foundation, sounds like loose sand. Singer Emily Kokal inner rage builds up her emotions, ever on and forget quite often to stay toonvast singing whereby she comes across as a teenager girl injured. Producer Flood (U2, Nick Cave) know on this unnamed successor some more consistency. Among other things by electronics are unflappable to operate while the four ladies again very expressive and at least as unperturbed all sides get along. Thanks to those production sounds a lot genietbaarder than Warpaint The Fool.

Does anyone know how many were made?

I own a copy of this. Does anyone know why / how these were distributed?

Some news: Rough Trade is aware of the bad pressing and will replace it for free (see http://store.roughtraderecords.com/ ).

hi, i have the same problem with this vinyl, i tried to contact rough trade but i can’t find a label contact and from the store say that they don’t care about this, can you help me ? thanks

Have you found a Email address or something?

The replacement vinyl arrived today and it plays great! Very nice Rough Trade service!

EU edition in red Vinyl (update): i had a call with INDIGO germany. They know about this problem, that more or less the whole 1st ed. of the red vinyl has a serious press defect. another edition will be pressed and will be available in around 3 weeks. So better do not buy for this moment this 1st ed.

Great work, Danke dafür! Hat INDIGO oder wer auch immer wenigstens auch einen Umtausch angeboten?

I have this release (exactly the same barcode and catalogue number -the one without the X), but it is in red vinyl. Should I create a new release for that?

Yes, mine has MP3 download as well, but there is still a difference: on sticker the catalog number is the same -that is, without the X. Since it refers to a sticker and not to the release itself I will consider mine is this one.Thanks!!

I also got a US red vinyl pressing (from Amoeba Hollywood). The 1st LP has a mild warp in it. Audio isn't affected.

I have a US red vinyl pressing (listed red vinyl on sticker). was relatively flat and surprisingly quiet. I assume yours is an EU pressing? I will listen again on headphones but I was very surprised how quiet my red vinyl copy is. colored vinyl pressings of my favorite albums are usually pretty noisy. sound quality seems to be pretty high as well.

yes. the Eu version.

info: interesting: the record ist NOT marked as red vinyl version on the sticker. You have to check the Label Number. Negative: The press quality of my red vinyl is anything else than perfect, especially record 2 and even more especially last Track on the album) Press quality seems lacking on red vinyl?

I could reduce the noise only a little bit, but the last two songs still sound terrible. I guess cleaning is useless...

Just got an email from Sandbag that they're sending me a new pressing at no charge, and no need to send the original back. If you from Sandbag and haven't already, email them and tell them yours is messed up also.

i now can confirm overall: i had the chance to hear several EU copies: ALL have the same problem!

Mine is also the "terrible" Sandbag edition with the signed poster. Meanwhile I've cleaned the record three times with my Okki Nokki. The crackling could be reduced a bit, but it is still far away from a mint condition. This is really ridiculous :-(

I have also bad pressing of the single sided vinyl. Crackle especially on the last track. Ordered this from Sandbag (mailed from UK) and got it with the signed poster. Matrix RTRADLP680 BD33934-02C1.

My record two sounds really horrible as well. Very disappointed. Does anyone do any quality control anymore? This is ridiculous.

The first record is still nice, but on record two there is a permanent noise (hiss, crackling) especially during the last three songs that makes the vinyl almost unhearable! What a shame! I'll try to clean it with my record cleaner machine. I hope it will reduce the noise...
