Okonokos Release 7/1/2016??

[buymycar]

Interesting that Okonokos has been removed from the Pono store. The version that came with the MMJ LE Pono was at a higher resolution than the one in the Pono store. Maybe the hi-res version will finally be put up for sale at the end of the month to coincide with the re-release?

I don't think there are 3 bonus songs. Of at least based off of this track listed on the MMJ store page. This is the same set list as the 2006 LP version. It always had 3 more songs than the CD.

Disc 1

    Wordless Chorus
    It Beats 4 U
    Gideon
    One Big Holiday
    I Will Sing You Songs
    Lowdown
    The Way That He Sings

Disc 2

    At Dawn
    Golden
    What A Wonderful Man
    Off the Record
    Lay Low
    Dondante

Disc 3

    Run Thru
    Xmas Curtain
    O is the One That Is Real
    Steam Engine
    Dance Floors

Disc 4

    I think I'm Going To Hell
    Anytime
    Mahgeetah
    Where To Begin
    Sooner
    Strangulation

I'm part of the Vinyl Me Please club, and they have this release as part of their August store for $42 for members. So in theory it's still good.

What color is the vinyl? If not the standard black I may join just to get this variant.

[parkervb]

yea, if the vinyl always had those tracks, why promote the repress as having 3 more tracks?

Agreed it is totally misleading. I already have the 2006 version and only plan to buy this if there is a difference.

[amskinz]

No difference.

[gardenparty]

cool.  now I don't have to buy it

[parkervb]

i bought one for a listening copy. not that I don't listen to the original, just figured $45 was fine for a copy that I don't feel like I have to handle with extreme care.

[walterfredo]

Are you playing this on a Crosley or low end TT? If so that's your problem.But I have to say when I opened mine up one of the records had a sliver from the center hole dug into the vinyl.I removed it carefully and cleaned it and it sounds fine but there is a visible scratch.I had to clean all the records and take tweezers and remove slivers of vinyl from the center hole but it's all good now.It's because of rushed pressings I know.Mine plays great now and I am excited to have this on vinyl as well even if it isn't the OG pressing.

This is the turntable I have...

Don't know much about turntables but don't think it's low-end

I own this one too, probably one of the best options in this price range. It's not low end by any means. Now Crosleys shouldn't even be called turntables/record players as they are the destroyer of records.

Do you clean your records? Have an anti-static brush?

[walterfredo]

Admittedly I'm bad with maintenance and cleaning

You're good,that is the same model I have and have been very happy with it.I hate that you got a bad pressing.I would definitely return it for a replacement.

Lots of records get warped in transit, especially this time of year, as happened with a BUNCH of the early Circuital units, which I think sat in the back of a truck in Arizona for a couple of days. Man, I hope that's not the case with these. Anyway, yes, you should be able to get a replacement!

Thinking about picking up a second copy. Did anyone who ordered the new one also still have an original box set? I got one from when it first came out but the rareness of it being available for years makes me want to get a backup copy lol. Am I the only one?

nope, I bought a "listening" copy. My wife paid WAY too much money for the one I have and in addition, I have a toddler so I figure I will put the OG in an upstairs closet along w/ a few other choice cuts for safe keeping.
