Plain Records Reissues Every 90′s Album Ever
Aural Exports is now selling the classic Primus album Sailing the Seas of Cheese on their website along with preorders for two early LPs from The Breeders and the debut LP from Mr. Bungle. All of these albums have been out of print for quite some time, probably since they were originally released in nineteen-ninety-whatever. Each record comes on 180 gram vinyl and is priced at $14.95. They are all listed, along with many other titles, in the new releases at auralexploits.com.

I have the Black Crowes “Southern Harmony…” Lp released recently, and is sounds horrible. I have a pretty accurate, studio-level system, and it sounds like an MP3… much worse than the remastered cd releases from the mid nines… Uggh.. very disappointed, even after it costing under $20. the pressing is off center, warped, and has pitch variations… utter dross.
Seems to be a lot of complaining about the Plain label – from shitty pressings to being pretty negligent about fulfilling pre-orders on time. These Breeders pre-orders went up in January and only started shipping at the beginning of this month (September). Aural Exploits has listed some pre-orders for a few other Plain reissues recently, including a Mazzy Star album… but I’m feeling pretty weary of the label currently.
We appreciate when readers let us know about quality issues with pressings. Some of these labels need to step it up. We listen to vinyl because it’s supposed to sound better. Otherwise, what’s the point?
the Ween reissues are pretty dope (the box set)..
