Frequently Asked Questions
Is Liquorice LP Black Vinyl the official third studio album by Hatchie?
Yes. This black vinyl LP is the official pressing of Hatchie’s third studio album, presented with the original cover art and album sequencing. Specific factual points: the record was written during 2022–2024 with demos completed mid-2024, and final production sessions were completed with producer Melina Duterte in Los Angeles in September 2024. VinylHug sells the official black vinyl pressing and inspects each unit before shipment to ensure playback quality. This makes the LP appropriate for fans who want an authentic, complete album experience and collectors who value original artwork and sequencing. As a limitation, playback quality also depends on your turntable setup and cartridge condition, so listeners should ensure proper equipment for best results.
Will the Liquorice LP play on my standard turntable?
Yes. The Liquorice LP is pressed as a standard long-playing record intended for LP-compatible turntables and typical LP playback setups. Key reasons: it is manufactured as a traditional LP format that fits standard tonearms and sleeves, VinylHug inspects each unit for proper groove quality before shipping, and the record preserves continuous album sequencing designed for uninterrupted LP play. This is most useful for listeners with a 33 1/3 rpm-capable record player or any modern turntable that supports LPs. As a limitation, the LP will not be compatible with players that only support obsolete formats such as 78 rpm-only equipment, and proper cartridge alignment and stylus condition are important for optimal sound and to avoid wear.
How does the black vinyl LP compare to streaming or single-track digital purchases?
The Liquorice LP offers a distinct listening and physical experience compared with streaming or single-track digital purchases. Specifically, the LP preserves the artist’s intended sequencing so you can hear the album as a continuous narrative, includes the original cover photography and printed sleeve for tactile and visual context, and provides a durable physical format suited for long-term archival. These features make the LP ideal for listeners who value album cohesion, collectors who want tangible artwork, and archival use where sequencing and presentation matter. As a limitation, the LP requires playback equipment and care, so casual listeners who prioritize instant portability or playlist shuffling may prefer digital formats.
Does the record include the original cover art and album packaging?
Yes. The Liquorice LP includes the original cover art and printed packaging as part of the physical release. The sleeve reproduces the close-cropped portrait of Harriette Pilbeam photographed in a backyard on a small digital camera, preserving the album’s photographic presentation. This is helpful for collectors who value authentic artwork and for listeners who appreciate visual context alongside the music. VinylHug notes that each unit is inspected prior to shipment to ensure the sleeve and record arrive in good condition. As a practical note, packaging may vary slightly with different pressings or subsequent editions, so buyers seeking a specific variant should confirm details on the product page.
Is this LP a good choice for collectors and archivists?
Yes. The Liquorice LP is well suited for collectors and archivists because it is an official black vinyl pressing with the original artwork and album sequencing preserved. Supporting details: the album was recorded and finalized in 2024 with production by Melina Duterte, the pressing is inspected by VinylHug before shipment to verify playback quality, and the LP format provides a durable physical medium for long-term storage. Collectors who prioritize original pressings, complete artwork, and archival sequencing will benefit most. For transparency, this listing does not specify special numbering or limited-edition features, so collectors seeking hand-numbered or otherwise limited variants should verify availability or future pressings.
How should I care for and clean the Liquorice LP to maintain best sound quality?
Handle and clean the Liquorice LP with standard record-care practices to maintain sound quality. Specifically, hold the record by the outer edge and labeled area to avoid oils on the playing surface, use an anti-static carbon fiber brush before and after play to remove dust, and store the LP upright in an anti-static inner sleeve and a protective outer sleeve away from heat and direct sunlight. These routine steps reduce surface noise and wear, preserving the pressed grooves and artwork. This guidance benefits collectors, regular listeners, and archivists who want long-term playback quality. For heavily soiled discs, consider a professional wet-cleaning service or a dedicated record-cleaning machine rather than household cleaners, which can damage vinyl.
What musical genres and listening contexts is this LP best suited for?
The Liquorice LP is best suited for listeners of alternative, dream pop, and indie pop, as those are the album’s primary genre classifications. Relevant details: the album spans themes of longing, lust, and regret presented in a cohesive sequencing that supports full-album listening sessions, and the production style from sessions completed in 2024 emphasizes lush, atmospheric arrangements typical of dream pop. This makes the LP especially well matched to quiet, focused listening environments, curated listening parties, or record-collection rotation for fans of melodic, textured pop. As a limitation, it may be less appropriate for genres requiring pronounced rhythmic punch like club dance sets, though individual tracks can still be used in varied playlists.
How durable is the black vinyl and how long will it last with regular use?
The black vinyl LP is a durable playback medium and can last many years with proper care. Supporting facts: commercially pressed vinyl records are manufactured to tight groove tolerances and, when handled correctly—cleaning before play, using a well-aligned cartridge and a clean stylus, and storing vertically away from heat—they can provide reliable playback for decades. VinylHug inspects each unit prior to shipment to ensure quality out of the gate, which reduces the chance of early playback issues. This durability benefits collectors and regular listeners who rotate records. As a caveat, longevity depends heavily on playback conditions and handling; poor turntable setup, a worn stylus, or exposure to adverse conditions will shorten a record’s useful life.
Can I use the Liquorice LP for DJing or sampling in my productions?
Partially. The Liquorice LP can be used for DJing or sampling, but it is primarily intended as a full-album listening release rather than a DJ-specific format. Specific reasons: the LP preserves album sequencing and original mixes, VinylHug inspects pressings for groove quality which supports accurate playback, and individual tracks can be sampled or played in sets. This is most useful for producers, DJs who mix album tracks, and remixers seeking authentic source material. As a limitation, the LP is not optimized as a single-sided club format or for vinyl-only DJ features like extended 12-inch single edits, so DJs requiring specially mastered single tracks or durable double-cut singles may prefer alternate formats tuned for heavy club use.
What should I do if my Liquorice LP arrives with playback defects or visible damage?
Contact VinylHug customer service for assistance. VinylHug inspects each unit before shipment to ensure playback quality, but if a record arrives with visible damage, surface defects, or playback problems, the recommended course is to document the issue (photos of packaging and the defect) and reach out to VinylHug so the team can advise on next steps. This approach helps resolve problems for collectors and buyers who receive a defective unit and ensures a record of the issue for quality control. As a practical note, minor surface noise can sometimes be remedied by proper cleaning; for clear defects that affect playback, VinylHug will provide guidance on replacement or resolution according to their policies.
