Applause: LA v POW editions, by trowel on Nov 23, 2006 23:49:40 GMT 1, I saw a comment the other day saying there were differences between the LA and POW editions of Applause. As someone lucky enough to own a copy of each edition, I thought it'd be interesting to take a closer look...:
Most noticeable is the contrast of the two prints is completely different - LA is far stronger (LA print on left/top of all photos):
Men v men - contrast of main print far stronger in LA print, jackets of men and Applause sign really stand out on POW print (I've checked a few times that the Applause sign isn't actually stuck on!); but sky in POW print far darker from right of the top-left of the Applause sign - sky looks far better on LA print IMHO:
Ship v ship - note POW stamp and numbering in bottom left; also detail on piping and people in background in bottom left is clearer and more photographic in POW print; also note ship name (USS Enterprise ):
Wheels v wheels - note LA numbering is in bottom right - no stamp; jet fumes/Banksy's Tippex stands out far more in the POW print owing to the darkness of the sky; some artifacts of printing in runway and on far right of print, just outside border (possibly just my print):
Sky v sky - see how much darker the sky is in the POW print (on left in this photo, on top of LA print to right); also note how much rougher the top of the POW print image is:
The LA edition is approx 2cm taller and wider in the border (ie. 1cm extra all around) - however the print is the same dimensions; the photo below shows the bottom left when the top right corners are aligned:
Also the LA print has a rougher cut to the deckled edges all around - the base of my POW print is almost perfectly straight (again, could just be my print):
Hope this info is of interest to you ;D

Applause: LA v POW editions, by ร
gentรacardi on Nov 24, 2006 0:08:11 GMT 1, Great report! ;D
If you don't mind me asking, what do you intend to do with your extra print? Swap? Sell? (No offense intended whatsoever, I'm just simply curious)
I very much prefer the LA edition - looks much better IMO. What's with that vertical line in the sky on the POW print? The whole image just looks so... washed up. Kinda like it came out of a bad photocopy machine to me Perhaps it's different when viewed up close and personal instead of small pictures. When is mine going to arrive??
(P/S. Anybody wanna swap your LA edition with my UK edition? ;D)

Applause: LA v POW editions, by trowel on Nov 24, 2006 0:22:49 GMT 1, No problem chaps, glad you found it interesting ;D
I find the LA print a much stronger image too. The POW print has much more detail to the carrier and jet, but the two figures dominate too much for my liking - and as you say, the sky looks awful!
Applause was by far my favourite print of the new run, which is why I bought the LA edition in a private sale a while back (ยฃ800). I was trying to get the signed version from POW, and once I gave up on it I decided to try for an unsigned because I knew it would be easy to swap for a print I wanted, or sell to cover another purchase... kind of a 'backdoor' swap

gentรacardi on Nov 24, 2006 0:32:40 GMT 1, Honestly, I'm a little disappointed with POW's version of Applause... and I haven't even received mine yet! It appears so washed out that it's almost monotone... at least, from the small-ish pictures on here. The LA edition just looks so much sharper and crispier.
Hey bollox, if you manage to get a Sale Ends, I'll swap my Applause for it (plus ยฃ100)

Applause: LA v POW editions, by mcnuts on Nov 24, 2006 9:38:03 GMT 1, Interesting observations. I have left my App in the tube until I take it back to Canada (from the UK) so can't comment on the quality.
Could this have to do with print numbers?

Applause: LA v POW editions, by corblimeylimey on Nov 24, 2006 11:05:52 GMT 1, Thanks Trowel very interesting, I think I prefer the POW print though (against the general consensus here) the LA one looks too bold and the POW one looks more detailed and 'arty' particularly in the rough 'chopped up' sky.

Dude what has this got to do with the different Applause editions?
There is a "Ebay Auctions, Swaps & Trades" section for a reason.

gentรacardi on Nov 29, 2006 2:14:36 GMT 1, I'm just putting this out there just in case someone out there has different tastes:
If anyone out there has an LA Applause but prefers to have a UK Applause, I would be happy to make such a swap. Send me a PM and we'll make it happen!
Cost price speaking, the LA Applause was cheaper than the UK one, so you would be trading up! ;D

Applause: LA v POW editions, by lrworld on Jul 27, 2007 1:56:31 GMT 1, Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I am surprised that no one has mentioned that the LA version looks more like a xerox. Looks cheaper to me. I don't really care for the contrast. Also, I would rather have a smaller paper size because the thing is huge as it is.... The image size is the same, right?
Just my two cents.
