Hey everybody. I have a question that I need to ask. I have three Nothingface vinyls ( one belongs to my buddy Igor now...) and they all skip! I have all MCA copies. One of them is a promo (the one that Igor has) even that one skips...

Do you have that too???

No

I have two versions and both are fine. Maybe your record player element doesn't have the pressure it needs. Can you adjust it, with the weights or something?

It's a relatively long album for vinyl, just a hair under 48 minutes. In order to fit extra length onto vinyl, they need to put the grooves closer together (and in order to do *that* they have to drop the db level significantly). When the grooves are closer together, and not as deep, they're going to be more susceptible to damage / skips. There's been a little bit of improvement since the time Nothingface came out, but most of the standards still apply - And laquer cutters who are worth their salt will stay within the industry standards.

I have sadly never owned Nothingface on vinyl, but being a digital recording, there is no audio advantage to having vinyl of it - It's simply an analog format of a series of 1s and 0s. It'd be nice to have it as the fetish item that it is, though. I vastly prefer the larger packaging.

Best,
PAULIE

I did a side by side comparison of Target Earth on vinyl and CD when it first came out. The CD was louder, but the vinyl has infinite headroom in comparison. The CD feels like it has a low ceiling.

I haven't done a side by side comparison of the two formats, but disagree that the CD does not have any head room. I've often thought that the Nothingface album was prime example of good digital recording techniques and ideal CD mastering. The CD is spacious and full and sounds light years better than most CDs from the era, or since then, really. Not saying the vinyl doesn't have different qualities, just saying that the CD is pretty much the format that the album was targeted at when it was made.

If you want to talk vinyl superiority, then I'm with you 100% in regards to Killing Technology and Dimension Hatröss, both of which sounds awesome on vinyl, but thin and not as good on CD, especially KT!

I don't even dare to ask about the remasters anymore.
