Not sure if the vinyl is a different one than the already exisiting one. Wasn't there some trouble with the original vinyl release of CD?

Yes, distortion.


Sure, that press release about sound quality sounds nice. Too bad Universal fucked up with the vinyl release of Chinese....

I had even purchased a vinal player with my purchase of CD's, remember being so excited that day and it had been a long while since I had listened to a album.  The excitement of just having that album in my posession won over my disappointment regarding the lack of sound quality.  I ended up framing a copy and hanging it in the music room, It brings me great happiness still, regardless of its lack of quality, the name Guns N Roses says it all Wink.

My copy of CD plays fine, it's not the greatest sounding vinyl I have but it's also not the worst.  The rerelease of AFD sounds fantastic, wish they could have captured that sound.

*edit* just got to CITR, wow that song sounds awful on the LP, I usually skip it so it's been a while since I heard it.  Other than that I haven't had any major problems with it.  This is the first time I've listened to CD on vinyl in a long time.

If I said you had a beautiful body, would you take your pants off and dance around a little?
