The White Stripes – Get Behind Me Satan

Received the Vault edition today. Is it up here yet?

Just to clarify, 100 copies is not verified. The amount is not disclosed. Although it a solid educated guess based on the line to purchase and when they sold out. Also the name for the variant is INSTINCT RED, versus bombed out, which is the Jack white no name variant name. Just clarifying!

Holy crow. I wish this had been a worldwide RSD release. What an amazing looking variant! Here's to hoping this, (or better yet, another UHQR) see a wider release later this year.

Just have to mention that for a promotional run of 300 copies, there are 434 owners. Hmmm.........

Purchased and listened to FOUR copies of this and every single one was plagued by stitching, scuffs, scratches, dimples and warps. A couple of the discs even had filthy fingerprints all over them. Very unfortunate because under the god awful pressing quality there is a wonderful sounding cut of this album. Be warned.

Listened on a Pro-Ject X2 w/Sumiko Wellfleet.

EuripidesA - below - is right, it sounds shocking. My copy did, however, sound 90% better after a couple of wet cleans and play through's. Obviously not ideal.

This pressing is garbage, stop using United for ffs. words words

This is the worst pressing in my collection. It makes me wanna sell everything and stream. Ffs, just test one copy in the run before you put it on sale.

Overall, good music, but bad quality. A single skip at the beginning (as of June 2024 now is gone) and some surface noise (the latter being a little more than expected). These records are dust magnets more than any other records I’ve had straight from the sleeve. Two loud pops during an instrumental break in The Nurse but not much else to is overly distracting.

Oh and on record two, the labels were swapped so that’s not great, though adaptable. Also, the changing of some track placements kinda bugs me but might had to have been done for the context of “quality”.

But yeah this is my favorite White Stripes album.

I'm not a fan of this band, but I liked this album with its garage performance. The album is on two vinyl discs. The disks are flat with a slight center offset. The mass is quiet, clicks are rare. Priority in sound to low frequencies. The stage is wide, the balance is even. The envelope (sleeve) is very dense, the colors are bright, but the picture itself is blurred. The inner envelopes are made of thick paper, black with a cutout for an apple, without an antistatic liner. In general, the cover, discs and content are good: 4 out of 5.
