My Get Ready and Republic vinyls were delivered today, early so that was great.Not had a chance to listen and won't be able to til tomorrow now.Only quibble is they've scrimped a bit on the inner sleeve artwork for both albums haven't they? You don't get all the stuff that was with the original Republic CD.Get Ready's inner sleeve artwork is less also.Still, at least they have some artwork on the inner sleeve and not just a blank white paper inner.Guess you just have to accept the Republic inner artwork for example only works with a CD booklet.No big deal.

Get Ready didn't have an inner sleeve originally. Republic's is the same as the original.

Most of the albums are now appearing on iTunes as Mastered for iTunes. I'd suspect these are the new remasters, although there's no specific (2015 remastered version) tags like some of the other download stores. Also noticed that NO's Substance has disappeared from sale on iTunes, would make sense for that to be re-released in the near future if the second discs of the last reissues haven't been included in this latest catalogue remastering.

I am still a bit confused as to why the Get Ready 2015 remaster is not available on digital stores yet but all of the re-remastered Factory ones plus Republic/WFTSC are.
Does anyone in the know, know why this may be? We've basically established that the MP3s given away with the new Get Ready vinyl itself are not remastered.
It's just odd they'd redo everything but leave one out.

I was listening to the new 2015 remastered version of Technique today and noticed that there's an audio glitch on the second track "All the Way." It happens right at 2:51. It sounds like the tape is being warped for a split second. The mp3s I have were purchased from Amazon.com. Is there anyone I should contact to somehow have this fixed? Even the official New Order YouTube channel just a put the album up for streaming and the glitch is present there as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Eu8sKgeBN8Edited by user 08 October 2015 15:15:29(UTC)

I emailed Rhino's website about the new glitch on All the Way, so hopefully they look into it.

Finally got round today to playing the vinyls of Republic and Get Ready i received a couple of weeks ago as had been trying to get round to buying a new stylus.Stylus popped through the letterbox today.Yeah both albums sounding good- can hear stuff on Republic i'd never picked up on before.Got lost in this thread about what's been remastered and what hasn't but if one or both of them hasn't then i could have Amazon under the trade descriptions act as the sticker on the front of both of them says "features 2015 remaster" (Doesn't specify if it's the vinyl or mp3).Or is it just the vinyl versions that have been remastered and not the mp3 (haven't downloaded them yet) or vice versa?
Still getting frequent crackles even though it's brand new vinyl played with a brand new stylus.Bane of my life that shit.

I've listened to the new 2015 version of Republic (digital download) and noticed a lot of new little things as well. All of the new 2015 remasters seem to have heavy stereo emphasis added, so a lot of those subtle stereo sounds (such as Gillian's keyboard and the drum reverb) cut through the mix better. They did a good job with theses and so far I've only noticed that one error on Technique. The previous glitch on "The Him" and dropout on "Sunrise" from the 2007 versions have both been fixed.

Republic seems the far superior vinyl .My copy of Get Ready is unfathomably for a brand new vinyl full of crackles and pops though if i can listen past that it's ok ish.Republic is crystal clear.Listening even on headphones i could almost be listening to the CD or mp3.Really rich sound on the bass and , well, everything really.And it's pretty fucking loud  Except i like Get Ready as an album more than Republic.Revisiting songs like Turn My Way, 60MPH and Vicious Streak was good.Unlike many others i always really liked Turn My Way.Was never a fan of Corgan but i think his vocal really gels with the song.Vicious Streak is a great underrated track.

Here in the USA, where are the *confirmed* Republic digital remasters available from?
What I've heard on YouTube, they sound pretty great! Thanks in advance.

Got Get Ready yesterday on vinyl. Put it on directly after another record - Blonde on Blonde - and had to crank the volume considerably. Is it a quiet pressing or is Bob a bit more rambunctious than I thought?

"Turn" on the new WFTSC remaster is curiously the promo mix which was on most of the unfinished CDrs of the album 10 years ago and not the one which made the final pressing.
It's quite subtle but the promo/remaster version starts with a cymbal crash once the reverse guitars reach their climax and the overall drum beat is 'busier'.
The "Turn" on the original WFTSC has no cymbal crash(es). It's a subtle point but er yeah, there you go. A different mix for us this time around.

Interesting because i always thought it sounds like the promo mix version kind of jumps at the climax of the reverse guitar in the intro into the bit where everything else comes in (around the 9 or 10 seconds mark) Like a needle on the record jumping.Maybe they thought the same and by emphasising or mixing in a cymbal crash it hid the jump?

Convinced now GR is a horrible pressing. Very quiet while at the same time crackly. WFTSC seems better in comparison.

Next time, Get Ready will need to be split over two records. I guess you can treat this pressing as a re-run of the original, including the original flaws (and adding an inner sleeve).

Kind of glad in a way Get Ready is a bad pressing.Thought it was just my bad luck or a problem with my stylus.
Anyone else hear a tiny weird little noise just before the start of every track on both Get Ready and Republic vinyl? It's a quiet little kind of squeak that lasts just a second or so though i only really hear it on headphones.

that's a shame to hear (I would have loved Get Ready on vinyl) but I guess we should have expected it after they continued to squeeze the album onto a single disc.
