Reviews
LOVED THIS VINYL. super pretty only complaint like most is the packaging the slips glue came undone very quickly and the pvc sleeve was splitting.
Anyone who owns this. remove it from the PVC sleeve and store it well away ! PVC will ruin the record, plenty of info about that online- My copy sounds amazing and it’s always fun to add another liquid filled vinyl to my collection
- Mine came quite a bit warped. Sounds ok tho. Have to store it outside the sleeve because it doesn't fit in the sleeve which is a
Minor detail but still wish the sleeve was made a but larger haha 
it sounds super super quiet. no surface noise but the mix is very low and quiet.- The record looks incredible, sounds incredible, overall pretty much flawless! That being said, I really wish the sleeves had been a little thicker. I'm sure it won't be long before both the inner and outer sleeves have marks from the edges of the *very* thick record straining them... Admittedly, not sure how to do this with the inner, but the outer could have at least been one of the sleeves used for double non-gatefold LPs at minimum extra cost.
- I honestly didn’t know what to expect sound wise but no complaints!
Edited one year agoSuper sick vinyl, don’t really like how all the other items that are normally included (lyric sheet & inner sleeve) were all packaged loosely outside of the jacket and the jacket while being a thick material (which is nice) has a glossy coating which makes it feel like more of a bootleg rather than a reissue. Regardless of that I’m super happy with this release after waiting months. Definitely coolest record in my small collection.- It’s so cool and the way it moves is amazing
I am shocked at how good this sounds. It is as quiet, if not quieter than your normal LP.
