The Runaways – The Runaways

No problems with my pressing. Got free from VMP on a re-sub. Pretty good, and of it's time.

Just got number 22 of 3000 numbered copies from VMP today!

Dead silent and flat. Great pressing, amazing sound. Great album, they were so damn young, but at a the same time so mature music wise! Put your hand on that album!

Sounds good, disapointed it's not the first pressing gatefold, but the vinyl is like new. Does anyone have any idea of year for 2nd pressing??

A great sounding LP indeed! No unwanted noises at all and very clean sounding. Great pressing at a great price!

Is there more than one version of this Modern Harmony release of this album? I asked because mine did not come with a lyric sheet and it definitely doesn't say RTI or indicate it was pressed by them anywhere like the Notes area mentions. I wish I could post a picture of my hype sticker here but it definitely doesn't mention RTI like indicated in the Discogs Notes. And one had asked if it came with a lyric sheet. Another replied it did. But I definitely didn't get the RTI pressed copy or the lyric sheet in mine.

I really am happy with the sound and the mix. You can hear the guitar, drums, vocals, and really everything just perfect. The mix and the lack of unwanted noise makes this a great resource. I never have had the original so I'm glad I got this one!

Bootradr

Why did they darken the cover and add extra shadowing over Cherie? 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

I think RTI is having serious QC issues. There are very audible hissing sounds at the end of each track, where it should be silent on the lead-in to the next cut. At the end, just before the runout groove is entered, the volume of this his is deafening. These guys used to be practically perfect pressers, but now...I just don't know. I've had it happen a lot with pressings from them lately.

Sounds practically perfect. There are, yes, some very low noises between songs. Everything else is quite great.

Why they chose to press this on blue vinyl, as opposed to the more obvious choice of red, I'll never understand. Missed opportunity for sure. :(

Sounds really great, Very open. Nostalgic. Cool color. Worth the dime.
