Heathen – Victims Of Deception

Anyone for the quality of this press?
Metallica on instrumental and Bruce Dickinson on Vocals ?

Sounds amazing. Nice and flat, quiet, clean. Now we need a Breaking The Silence version...is there one?

This edition is o.k. (black). Go with confidence, all good.

I also wonder if this is correct compared to the colour repress. Are the correct tracks on the correct side and on the correct disc? :)

================================================================================

Anybody ever run across this release with matrix: DIDX-010430 1. Also on face of cd at bottom has DIDY 010430. On right side of face of cd also has made in U.S.A. under that has CRC. On back of rear insert at lower right corner above RoadRacer has AAD & CRC. I can not find any info on here. any info is greatly appreciated.

I'm wondering if they fixed the mispress too. 10 words.

I could moan about the mispress here but it seems churlish to me and here is why... this thing frickin rocks!! Its never been the best recording but this smashes the experience of all other listens ive had of this album. The pressing is stunning, both discs flat as can be and play without any extraneous noise. I dont mind getting up to change the record any more than doing a dide change anyway, maybe if the rest of the package wasnt so damn good id have a beef but in an age of crappy pressings from almost every plant going now this stands out for being superlative and its an easy 9/10 for a long overdue release. I would imagine MOV will do a black version in time and they can correct the side order then

Here is the response back I got from MOV regarding the mispress.

"Hi, Thanks for your mail. We are looking into this as we have heard about this. If you are not happy with this purchase we would advise you to return the record and ask for a refund. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.

All the best

Music On Vinyl"

Seems unlikely that we'll see any type of action, I severely doubt that they would do a whole other press to correct the issue. It's pretty obnoxious to have to change the record every time you need to flip, and the fact that this album hadn't seen a repress since it's original run in 1991 makes it worse. Oh well, I guess it's just gonna be out of order when I spin it from now on I guess it's not that big of a deal considering it's not a concept album or anything like that.

Has anyone contacted the label regarding the mispress? Unlikely we'll see any action on it if every copy of the press is "bad", but I'm curious to see what they have to say about it.
