Scott Sedillo (whose scribe is “SS”) at Bernie Grundman Mastering cut lacquers for both pressings on the same system used by Grundman and Chris Bellman.
The limited edition "mint" pressing is by Memphis Record Pressing, an arm of GZ Media and that edition has not yet arrived. US pressings are handled by United Record Pressing, while European copies are pressed at GZ. The LP edition’s sound quality, although not bad, is a bit disappointing. There’s enough about this album for me to write a book about it, but that’s for another time! The latter is by far the most insightful Tyler and Rick are off the grid at a vacation home in the Italian countryside, talking in-depth about the musical composition of “IGOR’S THEME,” “EARFQUAKE,” “I THINK,” “RUNNING OUT OF TIME,” and “A BOY IS A GUN.” While the lyrical content is glossed over, it’s still a fascinating listen and demonstrates Tyler’s rarely rivaled attention to detail in his work. And I haven’t even downloaded the 44.1/24 files, bought the cassette (that’s for my next trip to Music Millennium) nor chased the “faceless” picture disc on eBay (I didn’t preorder it because, well, it’s a picture disc, but the completist in me needs it now).īefore I get into the sound and packaging quality of the standard vinyl edition, it’s worth noting that several Tyler interviews surfaced since I wrote about the physical albums’ addition of “BOYFRIEND.” There are two interviews by journalists (for The Face and The Guardian) as well as an interview conducted by Rick Rubin for Broken Record podcast. I bought the Golf Wang t-shirt bundle (for the shirt that has “GOLF” in the IGOR font on the front), the limited edition mint-colored vinyl with the alternate Lewis Rossignol artwork (aka the copy of IGOR that’s yet to arrive), the standard retail CD (sorry, I don’t have the limited edition CDs with the alternate covers), the concert tickets to the 10/14 Portland show (despite Ticketmaster’s egregious “fees,” I happily paid for the tickets and am super hyped for the show), and now, the standard black vinyl.
Indeed, it’s too late I’ve totally gone off the deep end while obsessing over Tyler, the Creator’s 2019 masterpiece IGOR. “Don’t get too obsessed with these things,” he said. We have egg on our faces_ed.Īs I approached the check-out counter at Music Millennium with a standard black vinyl copy of IGOR, I told the cashier about my endless obsession with this album. This story has been corrected and updated to reflect the fact that the standard IGOR pressing is from United Record Pressing and NOT Memphis Record Pressing, which because of our error has received some nasty emails from AP readers.
