If we can’t get a new album, I’d at least be happy with that. Me too, hopefully they'll do a good job with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedYourIllusion Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Anyone listen to the vinyl mix and can compare it to the original record? How does it compare? What are your thoughts on the mix of the UYI tracks, and the Appetite tracks to the L&L remaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitchisback Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Just an FYI for everyone complaining about the flipped image, seems that image has always been flipped. Looked it up on the web and can't find it the normal way. Looks like there are other flipped images from that same photographer/show too. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-hard-truth-about-guns-n-roses-56711/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.insidehook.com/article/music/guns-n-roses-live-show-ritz-1988/amp Edited October 12, 2020 by Bitchisback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fucking joke that they couldn't get pictures the correct way round in an album sleeve, and that no-one seemed to care enough to correct it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a few shots earlier in the thread. It's reversed - it looks as if Slash and Duff are both playing the guitar left handed. Someone was saying that other examples of the same photo are the same way, (i.e. the source material was wrong to start with) which really doesn't excuse the point in my view!

Sweersa Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Flipped images are normal in both movies and other media/published items. Even Star Wars movies have flipped images or video for some shots. Sometimes, the director or whomever is responsible for the overall content appearance will choose to go that route. It's usually a deliberate choice, and not a mistake. Perhaps it fit better, looked better, whatever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine they flipped the image because they thought it looked better lol, there's really no excuse for such an obvious error. If they really did think it looked better to have 3 people playing their instruments wrong-handed then I don't know what to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they deliberately, and intentionally put the picture the wrong way round, so that everything is, and they are playing guitars with the wrong hand? Bearing in mind also how annoyed Slash was when a similar thing happened with Live Era and it was subsequently altered? That's just a stretch too far for ANY apologist. It's nothing but good old fashioned rank incompetence, from anyone and everyone who were involved in designing and approving this.

Gordon Comstock Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 There was a time when I probably would've bought this album as soon as it was announced, just so my vinyl collection was "complete", but now I just don't care as much. I already have all the songs on their other records, and the SOYL 7" w/ MTTC Acoustic. Plus, it's more expensive than the AFD remaster and they fucked up the artwork. However, I did just buy a sealed copy of the Sound City Sessions 3LP vinyl from someone on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talked about it more detail when the GH vinyl was first announced, so you might be able to find the in depth discussion somewhere on here. And I doubt that a designer is gonna change up Slashs trademark guitar image. That would be like deciding to edit the tophat onto Melissa instead!

Flipping images is quite common, if it can happen to Boba Fett from Star Wars (and many, many others) it can happen to Slash. It's just graphic design. 2 hours ago, allwaystired said: Oh come on!

This happens all the time. Who accidentally flips an image? It does happen, even today, but it's more than likely an intentional occurrence, however of a bad call it was.

Damn straight Slash doesn't always calls the shots...otherwise he'd have pointed out the error like he did with Live Era! I honestly never thought I'd see people defend obviously glaring errors as intentional! There is not one reason, whatsoever, to print a backwards image of the band. It makes everyone involved look stupid and the product look crap. Next up: the sound problems on the Chinese vinyl were put there intentionally and Live Era images were also deliberately put the wrong way round. Then corrected deliberately. Even though they were meant to be the wrong way round. We're absolutely in the Twilight Zone if errors in album sleeves are being defended as intentional!

Life is so much more pleasant when you ignore the things that don't matter. I was simply offering an alternative explanation. Sometimes, seemingly meaningless things are by design.

It's a GNR forum, so about as trivial as it gets really. It clearly matters to you though quite a lot, as you seem to want to tell people that an error is made 'by intention', so perhaps heeding your own sage words might be the first port of call, should you not wish to engage. When someone does respond to talk about a clear fuck up in something they've bought by ludicrously telling them that the fuck up is intentional, it really shouldn't come as a surprise that people respond, pointing out how ridiculous that notion is. If it doesn't matter to you, by all means, feel free to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefinitelyInThisLifetime Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Nearly bought it today. £31 on splatter. Then I realised that it’s not worth it. Why? Because no new material means no money for them from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the odd fact that the live era cover is from poster made in ‘85 and ‘86, but the album is labeled 87-93. It’s a shitty cover. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Ordered the gold splatter from uDiscover when it was announced. Still waiting on shipping confirmation. Anyone else in US still waiting on their gold splatter? Apologies for funding this cash grab, it just looked so pretty lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
