Same. Had a good experience recently. Years ago I remember them being kind of hit and miss.
The feedback on the Hoffman forum has been kind of meh. Fine but they reckon they are all sourced from digital masters and overall packaging/notes etc. could be better for the price point. Although I think the general consensus is that they have gotten better as it's gone on. I was tempted to sign up for the Celebrity Skin re-issue but it sold out pretty quickly.

The January release is A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar by Dashboard Confessional which is my wife’s favorite album. It’s only been pressed twice and secondary is crazy high on it so I’ve been dragging my feet on getting it for her. It’s like 50 bucks for one month so I’ll probably just bite the bullet and do it.The feedback on the Hoffman forum has been kind of meh.

As an aside they've also started getting into all that one-step stuff. Weird records to choose as the first release though. Murmur/Chronic Town are both sonically terrible imo. The new dub remixes of Radio Free Europe are bangers though, they came out on a separate 10'' a couple of months ago.

I agree with Dr Chud. Clear what is out of stock and good shipping. Also, they run 15% off sales around holidays that can knock of shipping costs.
Yeah the Hole record was a similar situation. Non-beat to shit OGs have been $200 for ages. The recent reissue is already touching $100.

Wife and I’s tattoos are from that album so I’ll probably do it too. I already own the Urban Outfitters pressing but it’s umm… not a great pressing.
Yeah after I read about the UO pressing I had been pursuing the original before this announcement.
hellaaaaaa
Wait til you learn about 90s albums pressed from digital masters.This isn't a Vinyl Hunting comment per se, but I just learned yesterday that records can have different max volumes, depending on the quality of the pressing.
