The non-skip really means you get the full experience. Put it on loud, lie on the sofa and do nothing but relax listening. That’s what I did!

I spun Side 1 this afternoon and it sounded every bit as good as I was hoping it would. I'm really happy with it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outer sides sounded great on the US version - but wondered if it sounded even better on the EU one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last song on each side sounds just as clear as the first song on each side, which is all I wanted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTJ80 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Unbelievably....I have just scored a sealed EU copy from Discogs £45?!?! Turned up yesterday...mint condition?!! Most copies go for minimum £75 and are 2nd hand used!! 🥳 Utterly ridiculous it’s out of print/not available to buy normally (not to mention not being defective).

Couldn’t believe it when I saw it at that price and still sealed. Fate!! Plus - after our previous conversation I got rid of a fair whack of my CDs which were just wasting space and got £70 which covered the vinyl. Result! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinaleblood Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Bumping this thread because I finally got Chinese Democracy on vinyl today. European press, found a super sweet deal on eBay from a local seller. Great conditions, much cheaper than what I would have paid for a copy in the same condition on Discogs. Gave it a spin this afternoon and it sounds good. Just one of my fave albums ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it on my amazon wishlist lIterally for years and when I finally decided to get it I found out it had gone oop in the meantime and it was quite pricey on the second hand market. I'm happy I decided to wait a little bit and this nice deal came up. Giving it another spin soon. All of this said, I hope if they press it again, they will finally get a decent version out for the American market too. I'm lucky because I'm in Italy, therefore I could easily find the European version, but it must have been horrible for all the fans from overseas.

On the official website you can effectively only buy AFD.....utterly ridiculous that a massive band with such a small discography don’t sell their stuff from their own website. Never mind the fact that half the stuff is out of print regardless of where you try and buy it! And EVEN THEN you get Chin Dem out there and a massive chunk are defective!!!!?!? 😤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JY2016 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 There is one for sale on the Dutch site marktplaats.nl (don’t know exactly which version). I am not interested as I am one of the people in the “nah... CD is not really GNR” camp, but of course that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to share the link here. https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/cd-s-en-dvd-s/vinyl-hardrock-en-metal/m1637245197-guns-n-roses-chinese-democracy.html?previousPage=lr The site has a copy of Spaghetti Incident - orange vinyl as well (have that one already) https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/cd-s-en-dvd-s/vinyl-rock/m1634491355-guns-n-roses-the-spaghetti-incident-orange-vinyl.html?previousPage=lr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
