I'll let you guys judge the quality of the songs. They are being manufactured at Furnace Record Pressing plant. The regular black vinyl, a special black transparent edition with an extra bonus song that is available through their website and my favorite release, a third variant that will only be available and distributed through local record stores.Īll three albums will be 180g pressings. They are releasing three versions of the album. It's a totally different album musically though. So now it's being released and I can tell you that I've had the test pressing for quite some time and it's really right up there with Come Around Sundown as their best initial vinyl release in terms of quality vinyl. And there wasn't a reason to release the record with no live performances in site. Kings of Leon is obviously a band that maximizes their value touring and playing the festival tours. The album was finished right as the coronavirus was hitting and it's been shelved for a while. Well, I can tell you the band asked me to be more actively involved in some of the decisions and quality control of their newest release. I know people commented on it at the time. Then WALLS came out and it was literally one of the dirtiest records I've ever received brand new. Mechanical Bull was solid but had that deal where it had surface streaks because the records didn't cool down before being moved around. Come Around Sundown was a very quality pressing, maybe their best label release ever. The US release of Only By the Night was fairly abysmal and it took me going on discogs and searching out the RCA UK release to get a copy that sounded like that album should.

There have been some hits and misses since then. I'm sure you can find previous threads of me talking about it.

Especially when the Chris Bellman re-issues came out and Youth and Young Manhood, Aha Shake Heartbreak and Because of the Times became some of the best vinyl in my collection with an excellent soundstage and dead silent backgrounds. I've always been pretty honest with them. I've often talked about my vinyl collection with them and obviously they were curious what I thought about their vinyl releases over the years as this hobby has grown and grown since they started coming on the scene. I am from Oklahoma and have been friends with the band for many years now. Kings of Leon just released their new single yesterday. So thought I would share some interesting vinyl news with you. I've been on this forum for many years and you guys have helped me so much over the years finding vinyl and making good choices.

I wanted to stop in and see what's going on.
