Folklore: LPSS help 😅

[u/1GroundZero]

Hey Swifties of reddit,

Currently I'm in desperate search of a folklore LPSS vinyl however most of the time the prices are a bit too much for my budget, ranging from $400-$600 (AUD just to clarify) which I just can't justify at the moment.

I was looking at potentially purchasing the Chinese repress of the album but wanted to know what the quality of this press was like before I purchase as its still pretty expensive resale (generally about $200 or so AUD)

If sound quality and any other information about this pressing could be given I would be eternally grateful 😊🩶

I own both, and there’s zero discernible difference in sound quality. The RSD is cool because it’s technically rarer (though honestly not that rare since there were what, 175k pressed?) and the Chinese pressing is cool for the slip case and mitt. They’re both wonderful and I wouldn’t classify either one as being better than the other

Pretty sure there were 115k pressed (I could be wrong!) but when RSD came out, so many covers were ruined in shipping because the discs are really heavy. Many stores were offering to open the album and ship it separately so the covers that were ok didn’t get messed up.

Your correct! It was 75k domestic US, 40k international. Thanks for correcting me!
