Hmm....obviously its going to be a bit quiet coz its at 33 and two tunes on it.

But yea I thought the same, the vocal is very quiet in the mix

(to me anyway)
Also the A side seems to be limited to buggery. (still feeling it!)
Bit gutted coz of the effort of going 180gram too!

Not having a whinge, no one owes me nowt but just gutted coz really need that Flow Dan lyric firing when you play it out.

I had a problem with that Pink Punk Reso remix. Its a filthy tune but lacks the punch it should do. Whether thats down to it sharing its side with another track or just the overall quality of the pressing I am not sure.

Its just that its really quiet, not like other two track 33 vinyls which can be fixed with a tweak of the volume on the mixer

hmm i hate it when people chop up and misquote.

It's more to do with the mixing stage rather than the pressing stage - I would've thought (I dunno, im gonna pretend Im in the know), its missing a lot of high end(to me). Using your ears or a graphical thingy.

Makes the vocal sit shit and really hard to hear.

The overall volume is fine just the lack of high end is whats making u think its quiet.

Hope that make sense (or appologies if im completely wrong)
Im gutted regardless. Flow Dan is a badman.

But will cds survive 80 years and counting...? I have a feeling they will deteriorate and turn into some kind of horrible chemical mess.

But what really bothers me, is when labels press on really thin vinyl...it only costs 10p extra a unit to get heavy vinyl at pressing...easily worth it in imo.

eh?? why would eastern european plant be shitter than the shit ones here?
got stuff pressed with gz before at its proper and more $$

a good plants a good plant be it in uk or elsewhere

i had a run of records pressed at gz n they came back with a minute silence in the middle of once of the tracks.
obviously there wasnt any silence in the track i sent!
any plant who can make a mistake like that are fucking cowboys n not worth touching with a barge pole.

Who is responsible for warped vinyl? Is it an accident by the factory machinery, or idiots in the distributors/ record shops who store it incorrectly. really wouldnt be surprised if its the latter, and all the more irritating because its avoidable

Im sorry to hear that, i have always found them great and know many others who have also been most happy with their service, its the first bad thing ive heard about them-thanks for letting us know, although i still dont think their location has anything to do with it
cheers

Just being too thin will do it. I bought a record last week and had it standing up, at an angle of about 85 degrees (that's science that is) and in three days it was warped. Crap.
