I have this as well, just haven't played it that much, since I didn't mean to order this version. That's on me, but I still find it somewhat annoying that 12" and album have the same title. I must have been on something at the time, not to realize the price difference and or the format, again that's on me. I'll give it another listen this evening to see if those issues are present in my copy. The second reason I haven't played it since the initial ordering snafu, I already have these tracks and was somewhat disappointed to have these live versions.
Now, this is a great introduction for the new generation of fans that witnessed their smashing performance at the festival or the other young bucks out there. But for the vinyl veterans like myself that already have a very complete collection of their material, this is just a nice souvenir. I might even just re gift this to someone else for the holidays. jw On Dec 7, 2007 8:22 AM, Chris Rooney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yeah i just wanted to confirm that there's some decent pressings of it > out there before i get another. > > surely someone else on the 313 list has the latest Octave One album on > vinyl??? everybody just downloading mp3s these days? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Odeluga, Ken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: 07 December 2007 12:30 > To: Chris Rooney; 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: RE: (313) Octave One - Off The Grid 2xLP > > OK maybe you got one from a duff batch.
