April 2, 20232 yr ...Baby is obviously legendary, but Toxic surpassed it a long time ago! - I also got the first three albums today and they look beautiful. Kinda wanna get a record player now. Has toxic really outsold it? I am shocked!
April 2, 20232 yr I decided to request a replacement copy of 'Britney' from Amazon, and that will be arriving later today. I'm determined to have a copy of this which doesn't have any problems! :lol: Fingers crossed for fourth time lucky... I also bought '...Baby One More Time' and that's coming later too! My 2017 copy of that album is actually pressed off-centre. Somehow that had slipped my mind until I got the album out yesterday and noticed it looking weird when it's spinning on the player. I must have just accepted it as it was back in 2017, because it had sold out during pre-order and there was no way to get a replacement of it anyway. Apparently it's not good for the stylus to play an off-centre record, so I guess I shouldn't. Hopefully my new 2023 vinyl has no problems! I’d be so annoyed with those problems Jay. Hopefully they’re all 100% perfect this time.
April 2, 20232 yr Author I wasn't in to collect my vinyl player so my neighbours have it and I gotta grab it from them tomorrow as I came home from work too late... boo! I didn't think hmv delivered THAT quick! I ordered it Friday and it dispatched yesterday... grr. Got my vinyl today too, I LOVE them. I especially love the 'Britney' yellow!
April 3, 20232 yr Author The sound on 'Baby...' is pretty good for me. But then again I wouldnt be able to notice the difference as this is literally the first vinyl I've listened to lmao!
April 24, 20232 yr Jay what do you mean “off centre”? I assume he means the spindle hole is misaligned?
April 25, 20232 yr The whole vinyl is like it’s slightly shifted over, so none of it is perfectly central like it should be. You know the outside edges of the vinyl that isn’t the music grooves, but just the run in? On one side of the vinyl there’s more of that than there should be, and on the other side that part is rather thin. It’s like the whole thing is off. It’s probably only a couple of millimetres, but that makes a surprising significant difference! It’s hard to explain, but I hope that makes sense. A video would be easier! By the way, the next 3 Britney’s albums are out on Friday :cheer:
April 29, 20232 yr My struggles with Britney vinyl continues with both In the Zone and Blackout coming with the sleeves damaged :drama: Already arranged for Amazon to send me replacements :') Circus seems fine though! The red vinyl is just so right for this album.
April 30, 20232 yr Blackout on vinyl is just everything :cheeseblock: Listening right now and it sounds incredible! Better than my Urban Outfitters copy!
May 5, 20232 yr Blackout, In the Zone and Circus not in the top 100 this week, I’m kind of surprised at how poorly all the vinyl releases have done. I guess anyone that really wants Britney on vinyl, already had the Urban Outfitters pressings.

May 5, 20232 yr Blackout, In the Zone and Circus not in the top 100 this week, I’m kind of surprised at how poorly all the vinyl releases have done. I guess anyone that really wants Britney on vinyl, already had the Urban Outfitters pressings.There's been 0 promo. While other artists spam pre-order links on their Instagram stories every day for months, Britney hasn't even acknowledged these releases exist. But yes. The Urban Outfitters pressings have been around for four years, and we got about four different ones for each album, plus picture discs for Baby and Oops. Edited May 5, 20232 yr by LoveMeDown
May 5, 20232 yr Saw all of these except for Britney at the shops last night. $68 Australian, seems a bit pricey. Still hopefully they do well.
May 6, 20232 yr Author 'Blackout' really does sound amazing on vinyl. A LOT better than I had anticipated actually...
May 6, 20232 yr Yeah I haven’t bothered with any of these as I already broke the bank getting all the Urban Outfitters releases, I don’t need/can’t afford multiple copies
May 21, 20232 yr Author The final 3 drop this week. How will the GH:MP sales work chart wise though? Will 'Singles Collection' be switched out as all the sales that was going towards that album, now go towards GH:MP for this week (I assume GH:MP will be the most purchased?) orrrr..??
