Pictures of the AOA and PE vinyl have been released, pressing is finished and will be available in stores and for orders next week.

Already released:


I did buy both monday (Out on vinyl in Denmark, already)....

AOA is on double vinyl, PlecElec is on one vinyl, same price both: 149,95 DKR (each),

This is a low price, normal price for a new vinyl in Denmark is around: 179-199 DKR.

^ the sound is so fresh and crisp, really great sound IMO.

AOA: I this album a lot! No filler, I like all of these songs.

(PlectrumElectrum will collect dust though, I don't like that album at all..........)

Any one in the U.S. got theirs yet? I'm still confused on the release date for the U.S.

Hi 'thedance' - do the vinyl albums come with any liner notes?

Thanks

I'm happily anticipating these (they should be in the mail).

I'm one of these freaks that also love PlectrumElectrum, so this should be fun!

Hi there,

AOA is exactly like the cd cover, I am not opening the gatefold cover to see because I am keeping the seal wrapped on it for protection.

PlecE also comes in a gatefold + with a lyrics sheet, I am posting a pic of the liner notes in a minute.

Hi again:


here's the liner notes, on the backside to the lyrics sheet,


PlectrumElectrum:

Bad lightening, sorry... but at least it gives an idea how it looks..

Is it a EU pressing or a US pressing?

I ordered mine from Amazon France and I will get copies at local record store in the village on Friday ,but if they are both US pressing, I will just cancel my Amazon order. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

^ on the AOA & PlecElec record labels it say "Made in the EU". Both.

Like I wrote before I did buy both vinyls in Denmark (I don't know about France?)....

Side B of the PlecElec album have a black label.. with song titles printed.

Amazon.com here in the US has the Plectrum vinyl release date as 11/24/14. Looking forward to it.

Edit: Same for AOA.

^ AOA, all 4 labels are blue, like this.

AOA is a double vinyl 2-LP,

Plectrum is a one-vinyl LP (not double).

It doesn't exist.

Are u sure that was real?

Or maybe the pic was a fanmade - in other words... fake?

Great so I guess the U.S. release date is 11/24... Don't know why on the Art Official Age site it says release date 12/2...

The big question for me and countless others?

.

Does the music sound any better on vinyl?

Is Plectrum a gatefold also? Same pic as in the CD foldout?

^ Yes Plectrum is in a LP gatefold cover, but after opening it (at the edge), I am keeping the seal on for protection,


therefor - I can't tell what the pic inside looks like.

Pre-ordered the vinyl of both albums at my local record shop yesterday.

They said release date should be December 2nd, but it could be the 8th.

Release dates for vinyl often slip around, especially at the end of the year.

Have to say I won't be keeping mine sealed up... personally, they are there to be enjoyed. I look after them, but they're exposed to the elements just like I am. Me and my records grow older together. That's as it should be.

I agree, the music is to be used. Both of mine are opened. However at the edges, only.

I will be playing my AOA 2-LP a lot - its an amazing 2-record set.
