 |
|
Got E.O.Sanity - The Spectral Sorrows LP today but....
When I ordered this album I expected double vinyl due its long playing time, but this is just one LP!!! Yes, almost 54 minutes squeezed in one LP. Ridiculous but true!!!
How is the sound on their Bathory re-issues???

| The sound of the recent-ish reissue of Hammerheart is great, but the jacket is paper-thin. |

Thanks for letting me know. I´ve just been wondered. As far as I know, vinyl factories recommend max.24 minutes per side, otherwise the sound of the record would be lowered.

Never had an issue with the sound when it comes to any BM repress but their jackets are so goddamn poor. Besides those thin Bathory ones I remember comparing Unorthodox's first re-release (2003 press?) with the original and the colors on the cover looked pretty fucked up.  |

| It's not that simple. The recommendation for direct metal mastering is indeed 24 minutes per side, after which the volume levels will drop but not necessarily considerably. Depends on the music - drum'n'bass willprobably sound crappy if you squeeze 25 minutes per side, but heavy metal won't if it's mastered properly. Which I suppose is not the case with Black Mark's reissues? |

If 24 minutes per side is recommended, then pushing it to 27 for metal is not a huge thing. For a 7", I believe 4.5 minutes is recommended per side, but up to 7-8 minutes is not uncommon. Like Necrovation - Chants of Grim Death or Repugnant - Premature Burial, just to give a few examples. They sound decent to me.
Personally I prefer single LP whenever possible. With double there is too much side flipping going on, I tend to listen less to double vinyls, like the new Autopsy LP. If double vinyl is necessary, then I prefer music on three sides only.
Same with 7" EP's. I tend to put on those with two songs per side. Like Necrovation and Repugnant.

sleeve quality of the bathory reissues. keep in mind that the vinyl is 180G and theres 2 that are 2x180G in these TP sleeves!
oh well, they sound great so i really dont care. ive never seen a vinyl outer jacket this thin though, i have inner sleeves that are thicker than this.

| yeah my brother got a few of the new Bathory reissues, we can't believe how shitty thin the jackets are. a few of them arrived krunked on the corners, and do almost nothing to protect the vinyls during transport. i'm surprised they didn't split during shipping. |

| Probert's pic is no lie. It's fucking ridiculous. I am absolutely amazed that the Hammerheart 2LP didn't arrive with seam splits due to being "thick" space-wise but with a paper-thin jacket. Honestly though, the sound quality is excellent, which is what really matters. |

You know, my bands' first 7"EP is like 17 minutes long and it still sounds like it should be. It was pressed in GZ. The label owner said that a side of a 7"EP can be up to 10 min max. |

theres no set length, it depends on how much low end you want your record to have. scratchy ass punk bands have no problem fitting 10 mins on a side if they want to. the antaeus/katharsis is really long. katharsis side is around 9 minutes, antaeus is around 7.
love you
