Get Ready to be reissued on vinyl!

Got Get Ready yesterday on vinyl. Put it on directly after another record - Blonde on Blonde - and had to crank the volume considerably. Is it a quiet pressing or is Bob a bit more rambunctious than I thought?

What I've heard on YouTube, they sound pretty great! Thanks in advance.

It's a little tricky to find on Amazon since there's multiple versions of the album, but it's right here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015KPUZ7W/

It's quite subtle but the promo/remaster version starts with a cymbal crash once the reverse guitars reach their climax and the overall drum beat is 'busier'.

The "Turn" on the original WFTSC has no cymbal crash(es). It's a subtle point but er yeah, there you go. A different mix for us this time around.

Interesting because i always thought it sounds like the promo mix version kind of jumps at the climax of the reverse guitar in the intro into the bit where everything else comes in (around the 9 or 10 seconds mark) Like a needle on the record jumping.Maybe they thought the same and by emphasising or mixing in a cymbal crash it hid the jump?

you two win the award for too much time on their hands.

And I thought I was that person. Haha

Convinced now GR is a horrible pressing. Very quiet while at the same time crackly. WFTSC seems better in comparison.

Next time, Get Ready will need to be split over two records.

I guess you can treat this pressing as a re-run of the original, including the original flaws (and adding an inner sleeve).

Kind of glad in a way Get Ready is a bad pressing.Thought it was just my bad luck or a problem with my stylus.

Anyone else hear a tiny weird little noise just before the start of every track on both Get Ready and Republic vinyl? It's a quiet little kind of squeak that lasts just a second or so though i only really hear it on headphones.

that's a shame to hear (I would have loved Get Ready on vinyl) but I guess we should have expected it after they continued to squeeze the album onto a single disc.

Thank you Moderne. I had bought the 'regular' DD before your comment. After your comment, I relented and bought both Technique and Republic remasters. I don't think I can be bothered with the others just yet.
