Dinosaur Jr. have been made aware that the European CD version of their new album "Farm" has an audio problem.
Whilst duplicating the original master, the software program 'doubled' the sound layers. This resulted in a 3dB increase in the overall sound volume.
Anyone that has bought a copy of the album with the bar code number 5414939004926, should go to http://media.pias.com/dinosaurjrfarmcd. and will be told how to exchange their copy.
The band are 'bummed' that this happened and are not taking the situation lightly. Both Dinosaur Jr. and their label PIAS would like to offer their fans something extra for this inconvenience, so in addition to a replacement CD, fans can download a free ringtone of the single "Over It".
A valid email address is required to receive the ringtone. Postage will also be covered to make this exchange easier.
On a brighter note, the band have just announced a date at London's Koko on Sept 25th - their full UK tour details are:
AUGUST:
Wed 19th Oxford Academy
Thurs 20th Cambridge Junction
