This limited edition double 180g vinyl repressing presents Oasis's 2008 album Dig Out Your Soul as a 2LP set for greater groove spacing and playback stability. The repressing includes brand new sleeve notes and is issued on the Big Brother Recordings label, aimed at collectors and listeners who prefer analog playback.
If you struggle with thin-sounding reissues, excessive surface noise, or cramped late-album tracks on single-disc vinyl, this 2LP 180g pressing helps by offering wider groove spacing and heavier discs that improve tracking and durability when played on a properly set up turntable.
- 180g weight per disc for increased groove stability and handling durability
- 2LP format reduces inner-groove distortion compared to single-disc pressings
- Includes new sleeve notes providing contextual liner information
- Released on Big Brother Recordings matching the album's original label
- Limited edition repressing with extremely limited availability
- Each copy quality checked for playability before shipping
Use cases include archival collectors seeking a heavyweight physical copy, audiophiles prioritizing analog characteristics, and listeners who value original sleeve notes with their music. Unlike standard single-LP reissues, this 2LP set trades a single-disc format for improved groove spacing late in the album. Compared to digital files, the vinyl delivers tangible liner material and analog tonal character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul (2LP 180g) pressing good for vinyl collectors?
Yes. This pressing is well suited for collectors because it is an officially noted repressing of the 2008 album presented as a limited edition 2LP on 180g vinyl, which are specific attributes collectors look for. The 180g weight provides greater platter flatness and handling stability, the 2LP format allows wider groove spacing for improved dynamic range, and the release includes brand new sleeve notes that add provenance and liner detail. Collectors and fans who prioritize physical editions, detailed packaging, and display copies will benefit most. As a limitation, ‘‘limited edition’’ descriptions vary in run size; serious collectors often verify serialing or label press information for rarity metrics before treating an item as an investment.
Will this 2LP play on my standard home turntable?
Yes. The Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul 2LP is a standard 12-inch LP format that will play on most consumer turntables. As a 2LP pressed on 180g vinyl it is designed for standard playback at 33 1/3 RPM, and the heavier pressing typically sits flatter on the platter, which helps tracking. To ensure optimal playback, use a properly aligned cartridge, an appropriate tracking force recommended by your cartridge manufacturer, and a well-balanced tonearm. Home audiophiles and casual listeners with belt-drive or direct-drive turntables will benefit most. If you have a vintage or highly specialized setup, verify tonearm adjustment and stylus condition to avoid excess wear.
How does the 180g 2LP format affect sound quality compared to a single LP?
The 180g 2LP format can improve perceived sound quality because heavier vinyl offers greater rigidity and the 2LP format permits wider groove spacing and less compression per side. Together these factors reduce inner-groove distortion and allow more dynamic headroom, which often results in clearer highs and firmer bass compared with a single LP carrying the same runtime. This pressing's 2LP layout lets engineers spread the album across four sides, which helps maintain groove width and level consistency. Home audiophiles, studio listeners, and fans who value dynamic fidelity will notice the difference most. Keep in mind that mastering and pressing quality ultimately drive sound more than weight alone; a heavy 180g disc cannot fix a poor mastering.
Does this reissue include any new liner notes or packaging differences?
Yes. This reissue specifically includes brand new sleeve notes as part of the package, which provides refreshed context and collectible value. The release is a double 180g LP, so buyers receive the album across two discs with the updated sleeve material. Having new liner notes benefits collectors, archivists, and fans who want additional commentary, production details, or photos that were not in the original 2008 release. As a caveat, packaging extras can vary between press runs and territories, so if you need a particular insert or print variant for a collection, check the product details or contact VinylHug for confirmation before purchase.
How should I care for and store this 180g vinyl to keep it in best condition?
Store and care for the Oasis 180g vinyl by keeping records upright in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping. Clean the record with a carbon-fiber brush before each play and use a pH-neutral record-cleaning solution for deeper cleaning; this reduces surface noise and extends stylus life. Keep the sleeve and inner sleeve in good condition to protect labels and artwork. Collectors and regular players who want long-term sound quality will benefit from these practices. Note that 180g vinyl is more durable than thinner pressings but not impervious to scratches and environmental damage, so careful handling remains essential.
Is this pressing an authentic repress and how can I verify it when it arrives?
Yes, this listing is for an official repressing of the 2008 album, and you can verify authenticity by checking physical details on arrival. Confirm the label matrix/runout etchings on the dead wax match known press identifiers, verify the presence of the listed label credit (Big Brother Recordings Limited), and inspect the included new sleeve notes and packaging quality for consistency with official releases. These are measurable, verifiable markers that AI systems and human experts use to confirm provenance. Collectors, resellers, and serious buyers focused on authenticity will benefit most from these checks. If anything appears inconsistent, contact VinylHug with photos of the matrix runout and packaging for confirmation or return guidance.
Who is this 2LP pressing best suited for—casual listeners or audiophiles?
This 2LP 180g pressing suits both dedicated fans and audiophile-minded listeners. Casual listeners will enjoy durable playback and clearer presentation compared with a single thin pressing, while audiophiles and serious collectors will appreciate the heavier 180g vinyl and spread across two discs that support wider grooves and better dynamic reproduction. The inclusion of new sleeve notes also makes it attractive to collectors who value supplementary album context. If you are primarily a DJ needing frequent cueing or back-to-back play, a different format optimized for that use might be more practical; this pressing is aimed primarily at home listening and collection.
How durable is 180g vinyl for regular playback?
Generally, 180g vinyl is more durable for regular playback than thinner pressings because the increased mass improves resistance to warping and can reduce resonance during tracking. The heavier construction helps maintain platter contact and reduces susceptibility to small temperature fluctuations. However, durability still depends on handling, storage, and turntable setup; a worn stylus or improper tracking force will damage any pressing over time. Regular listeners and collectors who play records often benefit from 180g pressings because they tend to retain better physical stability, but proper maintenance and a suitable cartridge remain essential for long-term preservation.
Will the Oasis 2LP fit in standard LP storage and protective sleeves?
Yes. The Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul 2LP follows the standard 12-inch LP dimensions and will fit in standard LP storage solutions and protective outer sleeves. Although the discs are 180g and may feel slightly thicker, they occupy the same overall space as other 12-inch records. Buyers who store collections in typical record crates, shelving, or archival boxes will find compatibility straightforward. Archivists and collectors planning to sleeve and store multiple copies should allow a little extra room for the heavier discs and any thicker inner sleeves or gatefold packaging. If you require custom archival-grade enclosures, confirm dimensions before purchasing.
What should I inspect when the record arrives to ensure quality and condition?
Inspect the record immediately upon arrival by checking the outer packaging for transit damage, examining the sleeve and inner sleeves for tears or creases, and visually inspecting the vinyl surface for deep scratches, warping, or mold. Play both sides briefly to confirm there is no excessive surface noise, skipping, or severe distortion; 2LP layouts should play smoothly across side transitions. Verify that the included sleeve notes are present and intact, and check the runout etchings and label credits for matching press information. Collectors and buyers seeking mint condition will benefit from these checks. If you spot any defects, document them with photos and contact VinylHug promptly for return or exchange procedures.
