The Bug - Poison Dart feat. Warrior Queen on Steppas Delight sounds mashed, brand new aswell... I only have a couple of records in plastic sleeves, eastern jam being one of them, which sounds louder than other tracks, may be cos it's a picture record?

Redeye:
1 x Card Sleeves, Pack of 10, plain black (cat5549)
@ GBP 2.75 each (+ 0% Tax)


2,75 sounds OK

Yeah i think picture discs sound a little bit louder.. black vinyl sounds better imo

Wat always does.. But keep in mind that they are not 100% like the usual black cardboard sleeves.. I bought these from redeye a month back and found out that the hole in the middle, is a littttttlebit smaller than the labelsticker on the record, so.. it just looks funny but i don't really mind it

I think that's because Eastern Jam is really well produced??? And it's a really good pressing?


Joker & Ginz - Purple City is also really a lovely pressing!

All on Ninja Tune? erm... maybe that's the problem? My copy of eastern jam is fine, timeblind - justification is fine, Distance remixes are fine.

EDIT: and my poison dart copy is fucked!
That release was notorious for sounding like total fucking garbage. I think it was more of a pressing issue than the sleeve. Thought 93F is fucking hot man.
