Ghost (32) – If You Have Ghost

Previous one was orange and green, now this one is blue and yellow. Why there is no one orange and blue ?! I want one with cover colors match.

Sounds fantastic to me , no static , very clean. Can't complain I only paid $10 for it. As others said the vinyl was dirty and had to be cleaned before playing but almost all "new" vinyls are these days . Happy to add it to my Ghost collection.

Label says it's 45RPM Record, but obviously it's 33 1/3. Great record !

However it sounds fantastic, even last live version of Secular Haze have great dynamic range and overall quality. Much recommend this edition!

This pressing also has the misprinted label. It's printed as a 45 but plays at 33.

They cared so little about this that they didnt even adress the 45rpm misprint.

Sounds ok though.

XD Infestissum I'm dying! I have to find one of these now!

My copy sounds ok i guess. Mine looks like the lacquer was dirty, anyone else?

If you have blue newbury comics edition of the ep, you have everything. 5 Tobias pants bulges out of 5 Tobias pants bulge for this release.

With this release, Ghost brings four interesting covers into the Ghost mythology and gives us a live recording of "Secular Haze." Ghost performs "Crucified" and "Waiting for the Night" so well an unfamiliar listener might think the pack of ghouls wrote the songs themselves, and Swedish covers of Roky Erickson never disappoint. The whimsical chorus in "I'm a Marionette" doesn't work for me, but if you can convince Dave Grohl to play drums you must have something there. Hell, if you have ghosts you have everything. The live performance could use a boost in audio quality, especially considering the commercial success the band experienced on their first album - but it is a solid performance.

In of frills, this pressing doesn't have much. You get a nice jacket, a white sleeve, and a nice thick record. In my opinion, the record sounds great with no skips, minimal surface noise, and plenty of low end and punch compared to the digital copies I've heard. I can see where others may have different experiences considering the number of misprints associated with the USA and Canada pressings, but I have no complaints - especially considering the price. I don't foresee mislabeling 33 1/3 as a 45 as an inflation driver for this item - especially when you have a red vinyl version in the wrong jacket to compete with - but you never know. I recommend giving this one a try while it's cheap, giving it a good listen, and holding out to see if the European pressings indeed sound better. If they do, I want one.
