Has anyone picked up the UK standard vinyl release of AYNIN? Is it in a gatefold sleeve? What is the overall quality?
Thx!

I received it but haven't played it yet.
It is a gatefold. No lyric sheet though, just two innersleeves with the sole "D" on it.

Thanks for the reply. Is it pressed on 180g vinyl? Are the inner-sleeves think or thin papered?
I picked up the US standard vinyl and it's nice, but I'm wondering if the UK release is of better quality. The US inner-sleeve paper is quite thin and the records aren't 180g. This is all fine. I'm just curious as to what the overall quality of the UK release is.

Well crap. Now I want to order the UK ones. I wish I had pre-ordered. I wonder if the price has gone up. I don't have the money now either.

The UK pressing is 180 grams. The inner sleeves are thick paper-thin cardboard.
BUT : I'm having a lot of sibilance issues while playing the record. Close inspection of the runout groove on side b shows it has some damage (difficult to describe).
To me, the record is rather harsh sounding. I hear the difference in mastering but it's mainly a difference in EQ, not dynamics. The vinyl has much less bass than the CD.
They must have used the same stampers they used for the Vinyl Factory version.

Thanks for the info, Doc!
I hope Amoeba Records here in LA will eventually get a few copies of the UK release. It's always a roll of the dice receiving records in the mail — you never know what's going to show up at your door. Amazon mailed me the U.S. AYNIN and it arrived all banged up. I sent it back for a full refund. Thankfully, Amoeba is carrying it.
Does anyone know where I can order the a copy of the UK release that will get to me in one piece?

Very cool.
I'm going to give mine a spin this weekend, along with the box set — which is pretty spectacular, by the way! Vinyl party!
