Agree with every positive comment here. Sounds great, packaging is wonderful, vinyl is nice and heavy. Can't recommend it enough. -
picked mine up for 18$ was really blown away by the packaging even has a poster! def an album to own -
Amazing packaging! Feels very . The records sound incredible. Super dynamic. Surface noise is very evident but only doing the starting runout. During the songs it’s perfectly fine. Very happy with this!

Overall dead silent RTI vinyl but scattered pops probably due to the lack of poly lined sleeves. Sound quality is impressive. -
As with the debut pressing in my collection, this sounds no different. Superb pressing and dynamic mastering. -
Edited 2 years agoGreat pressing, but with a runtime of 49 min 57 sec, couldn't they have made it 3 sides with the 4th an etched image like other bands? Or even just a nice blank gloss. The album is beautiful. Having it interrupted so much and so often is a shame. Bands: Just because there are four sides doesn't mean you have to use all four sides. Play some vinyl and see for yourself what's a better experience.

Edited 2 years agoSome popping throughout Blue Spotted Tail but otherwise an excellent pressing.
edit: Was able to remove the surface noise with a Spin Clean. -
-
Edited 3 years agoI would love to see a "Second Collection" of this album like they did the the debut album and "First Collection"!
