Hot Fuss [VINYL]

Product Information

The album was recorded at various points throughout 2003 with Jeff Saltzman in Berkeley, California, with the exception of "Everything Will Be Alright", which was recorded by Corlene Byrd in guitarist Dave Keuning's apartment. I suppose it would be a red flag that it says the release is 2011 which would be impossible since Lizard no longer owns the rights. But why does it try to squeak by as another deft pop reversion when it actually seems to be a revisionist cash dance? In 2005, it was reissued as a box of eleven seven-inch vinyl discs, with an album track on each A-side and non-album tracks on the B-sides.

Rolling Stone ranked Hot Fuss 43rd on its list of the "100 Best Albums of the Decade", and it was, at one point, listed among the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. However, when comparing this box set to the unofficial colored releases and the recent reissue, I would say this is the one to have. I can't say i'm impressed with the sound, maybe slightly better than the CD (curious of the source).Hot Fuss is the debut studio album by American rock band the Killers, released on June 7, 2004, in the United Kingdom and on June 15, 2004, in the United States by Island Records. The long-player is very rare on LP and was only ever issued as a limited blue vinyl and a similarly limited seven-inch (black) vinyl box set. We set Jeff up with a studio, got him started in recording and since he’s a smart guy, he picked it up really quick. No hissing, no surface noise, no inner groove distortion, it sounds better than average (comparing it to other records in my collection). In 2012, Brandon Flowers told NME that he felt "depressed" after hearing the Strokes' album Is This It.

His full length debut on Daptone Records is equal parts raw feeling and elegance and exudes confidence and charm. Labels cover etc identifies as the 2016 Euro pressing apart from the matrix which is the same as the 2022 test pressing! The 2004 album has sold more than seven million copies since its release and is still very much the yardstick by which new Killers albums are measured, thanks to a stream of superb singles including Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me and All These Things That I’ve Done.The copyright in this sound recording is owned by The Island Def Jam Music Group, a division of the Universal Music Operations Ltd. It revels in its appearance as The Shit from day one, allowing for filler-type indulgences like the impossibly aimless-- and quite possibly shitty-- "Everything Will Be Alright".
