Hello,,
The Analord 10 binder was a bit of a fuck up by the looks of things, i
don't think it turned out the way Rephlex expected. Ill-concieved
maybe.. It's not really strong enough to hold 11 records unless it
remains motionless. The gold leaf logo is very fragile indeed. A lot
of the binders seem to have got damaged in transit too. Seems i was
lucky, not only did it arrive in one piece (it did only have to travel
a few miles..) but I submitted the wrong c/c code initially and they
contacted me to sort it out. People with later orders weren't so
fortunate it seems, the example here is far from the only one I've
heard of. I had order 17..
If you want 10 + binder that badly I know the guy who runs WATMM is
open to offers for his right now. On eBay I've seen it sell for no
less than $350.. There's one on UK eBay now.
Possibly it's being repressed aswell (at least on the aformentioned
and vague 'alternative format'). What that means is still unclear..

With the exception of the binder, all the Analord records are easy to
get. I believe 1-4 have all been pressed 3 times now, there neither
jard to get nor expensive. I also think they've been made well; I
don't think 'squeezing' any more tracks on the wax than has been done
would have been any kind of improvement, nor do I think CD will do the
(analogue dominated) music justice at all. Keep it vinyl i say, If
that means people have to buy a turntable to enjoy it (overlooking
crappy mp3s), good. So much fine electronic music is vinyl only
already. People buying it keeps the medium alive. Good. It's the best
one.. Electronic music lovers without turntables seems almost
paradoxical to me..
10 is the best one so far, I must say. I hope you do get it, one way or another.
