I did notice that at the end of A Wave on Side B, there was some noise that started at the very end of the song leading into the runout groove. The regular just black vinyl I received today was really good. Thanks again to everyone for the feedback.Ĭlick to expand.I have listened to everything now. My advice is to pull that paper apart to break the seal and carefully pull that record out and have some poly sleeves handy on the side for any records you buy. Hopefully must people had a solid static seal on their paper sleeves and avoided dirt. I would have to imagine most capable pressing plants like Furnace try and tell labels that they recommend poly sleeves and I'm sure most labels say no because they paid so much to have the printing done on the heavy paper sleeves already. But it was tightly glued in with static and was still solidly quiet and without surface noise. But look, I bought the Harry Styles album yesterday for like $42 US and it came in paper sleeves. I mean I bought the Indie store copy straight off the shelf today and it is perfect. I think the non poly sleeves are something that has to be discussed. I just keep giving as much feedback to the band as I can. But I can't imagine them been sent over without being shrink wrapped and then changed and shrink wrapped again. I just kind of make sure it doesn't sound bad. Click to expand.Yeah, I'm not directly involved with decisions on packaging.
