Frequently Asked Questions
Will Grentperez - Backflips In A Restaurant (Custard Yellow Vinyl) play on my standard turntable?
Yes. This release is a standard LP pressing, so it is compatible with any full-size turntable that plays 12-inch LP records at the common LP speeds. The product is described as a standard custard yellow vinyl LP pressed on the FAST FRIENDS label, which indicates it follows normal LP formatting and groove spacing used for albums. This makes it easy to play on most belt- or direct-drive home turntables and hi-fi systems. Collectors and casual listeners who already own a record player will benefit most from plug-and-play compatibility. If you use a specialized DJ setup or a vintage player with limited speed options, check your turntable's supported speeds and stylus condition to ensure optimal playback.
Is colored vinyl like this custard yellow pressing more likely to have surface noise than a black vinyl pressing?
Possibly; colored vinyl can have a slightly higher risk of surface noise compared to classic black vinyl, but final sound depends more on pressing quality. Colored records use pigments mixed into the PVC, which in some pressings can alter microscopic surface characteristics that affect noise floor. The custard yellow pressing is a standard LP on FAST FRIENDS, which suggests a conventional manufacturing process rather than an experimental pressing. Casual listeners and fans who prioritize the visual appeal of a colored record will likely be satisfied, while critical listeners or audiophiles seeking the lowest possible noise floor sometimes prefer virgin black pressings. If noise sensitivity is a major concern, consider contacting the seller for pressing details or sample reviews before purchasing.
How should I care for and store the custard yellow vinyl to preserve sound quality?
Follow standard vinyl care practices to keep your colored LP in top condition. Gently remove dust before playing with an antistatic carbon-fiber brush, store sleeves vertically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping, and use inner antistatic sleeves and a rigid outer sleeve for protection. Colored vinyl is made from PVC like black records, so these handling rules apply equally. Clean deeper dust or fingerprints with a pH-neutral record cleaning solution and a soft microfiber cloth or a record cleaning machine if available. New collectors and frequent listeners will benefit most from these steps; if you plan to play the record often, regular brushing and proper storage will reduce wear and maintain sound quality.
Is the custard yellow pressing a limited-edition release?
No, this listing is described as a standard custard yellow vinyl LP pressing on the FAST FRIENDS label rather than a numbered or explicitly limited-edition run. The product description labels it as a standard pressing and lists features such as colored-vinyl and custard-yellow, but it does not state unique numbering or a limited-quantity designation. Collectors who prioritize rare or numbered editions should treat this as a visually distinct but standard release. Availability can still be constrained by stock, so if you are collecting rare pressings specifically, ask the retailer for confirmation about edition size or any special variants before purchasing.
Does this vinyl include the full album track listing and are all tracks listed on the record?
Yes, the vinyl release lists the full album track listing of 13 songs, including titles such as 'Nice To Meet You' and 'Yours To Keep.' The product description provides the complete track list from 1 through 13, indicating that buyers receive the full debut album Backflips In A Restaurant on this pressing. Buyers who want the complete listening experience—fans of the artist, collectors of full albums, and gift recipients who expect all tracks included—will find the record meets that need. If you require confirmation of track order or side splits, request a product image or contact the retailer for details on label printing or inner sleeve track notes.
Is this vinyl a good gift for someone new to grentperez or discovering indie bedroom pop?
Yes. This custard yellow LP is a solid gift for new listeners because it contains grentperez's debut album with 13 tracks that showcase his blend of bossa nova rhythms, jazzy chord progressions, and modern R&B and bedroom pop songwriting. The artist has significant streaming reach, with reported hundreds of millions of streams across platforms and earlier singles that charted on viral playlists, which makes the album an accessible introduction. New fans, vinyl-curious friends, and listeners who appreciate genre-mixing singer-songwriters will benefit most. If the recipient prefers digital-only listening or is strictly seeking audiophile pressings, note that this is a standard colored pressing rather than a heavyweight audiophile edition.
How does this standard custard yellow pressing compare to other vinyl variants like heavyweight or audiophile pressings?
This is a standard vinyl pressing in a custard yellow color, which typically differs from heavyweight or audiophile variants in weight, packaging, and mastering approach. Standard pressings usually use typical vinyl weight and standard packaging, whereas heavyweight or audiophile releases often use thicker 180-gram vinyl, higher-end mastering or lacquers, and enhanced packaging for reduced resonance and potentially lower surface noise. The product here is pressed on FAST FRIENDS as a colored-vinyl standard LP, so it prioritizes the visual color variant and full album presentation. Collectors seeking maximum sonic refinement or archival-grade pressings might prefer heavyweight audiophile editions when available, while fans who value the artist and a distinctive colored look will find this pressing well suited to their needs.
Will the musical style on Backflips In A Restaurant appeal to listeners who like bossa nova, jazz, or modern R&B?
Yes, the album is described as blending bossa nova rhythms, jazzy chord progressions, and elements of modern R&B and bedroom pop, so listeners who enjoy those styles are likely to appreciate it. The artist is noted for intuitive songwriting that fuses these influences into concise pop structures, and the track list of 13 songs provides varied examples of that fusion. Fans of mellow, groove-oriented arrangements, intimate vocal production, and melodic songwriting will benefit most. If you are looking for pure, traditional bossa nova or straight-ahead jazz without modern pop production, expect a hybrid experience rather than a genre-pure recording.
What should I do if the vinyl arrives warped, scratched, or defective?
If your record arrives damaged or defective, contact VinylHug customer support promptly with photos of the item and its packaging and your order details so they can assess the issue. Providing clear images of the damage, the sleeve, and any shipping labels helps establish condition on arrival, which most retailers require for a replacement or refund request. Keep the original packaging until the issue is resolved, as some returns require it. Buyers who are concerned about transit damage should photograph items at unboxing and keep documentation; many sellers will work with you to replace or refund defective merchandise, but timelines and procedures vary, so reach out to the retailer as soon as you notice a problem.
Is this release on the FAST FRIENDS label and when was it released?
Yes, this custard yellow vinyl LP is a standard pressing on the FAST FRIENDS label, and the release date is March 28, 2025. The product description specifically identifies the pressing and the label, and it lists the album's full track listing of 13 songs. Collectors tracking label catalogs, fans organizing a release calendar, and anyone buying for a release-day listen will find those facts helpful for verification. If you need shipping or exact in-hand delivery timing around the release date, check with the retailer for their fulfillment schedule since shipping windows can vary by seller and region.
