But Tempa seem to make the tracklists different enough so that you have to buy both versions.

They aren't going to release Night and Crunked Up again for the album but I wish they'd included Pleasure on the vinyl.

listened to the cd a few times now and it is very very sick.

just playing it through again before i go to bed. and it is really really good.

loads of depth and variety; all innovation. it stands up as more of a complete album than any of its predecessors, save perhaps the pinch album.

it's more varied than say distance's and Cyrus's. which isn't to say those weren't stonkin albums. but this one hits the mark on many different levels.

liking the fact the promo isnt just some white label

(shame they missed off the side labeling though!)

I'd be enormously surprised if Pleasure doesn't get a release as a single... I'm sure it'll hit vinyl

Boomnoise posted the CD tracklisting.

The promo for sale on dubplate.net is the vinyl version (3x12")

It is EXTREMELY unlikely that the full release vinyl version will differ from the promo, except for in the artwork. I am prepared to be proven wrong but I seriously fucking doubt that will happen.

Release date is early March for the full artwork version.

There are generally less tracks on vinyl version of LPs because it's bloody costly putting an extra plate onto a vinyl LP - the mastering and manufacturing costs are the same for each plate. However it's less costly to put more tracks onto a CD as it's only the mastering costs which increase in general. So, labels usually release what they think will be the most popular tracks on vinyl, otherwise the vinyl version would wind up costing you an arm and a leg to buy.

Very, very well put.

Is there an release date for this

steppa · Post by **steppa** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 8:49 pm

10 th March shud be seeing a release, and btw even though its probs already been said, this is really quite something, every track has its own flavour. Apart from urban fox missing lol this is a huge lp! massive respect to benga

Currently going on ebay. I tried my luck but there is no way I'm paying over £20 for it. It does sound amazing though....

braiden · Post by **braiden** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 11:59 pm

can i just say... the press sounds amazing, even the 33rpm 2 track sides sound proper crisp, better than the skreamism 4 press definitely. done at heathmans by the way

steppa · Post by **steppa** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 12:15 am

completely agree with that, every track sounds so full and has loads of depth. Im guna stop now, cus its kinda harsh lol.
