Notes

Comes in a 24-page book-bound jacket with printed inner sleeves. The picture on the cover is spot varnished.
Sticker with barcode attached to the rear shrink wrap.

Differences from the European version:
● European version has a "Made in " sticker attached to the rear shrink wrap; whereas this version has "VINYL MADE IN MEXICO" printed on the rear shrink wrap
● Matrix / Runout is different - this version was pressed by Vantiva, Guadalajara, Mexico and has a stamped 7-digit matrix in parentheses (e.g., "(1252547)") whereas the European version doesn't have this and everything but "STERLING" in its matrix is etched.

Track C4 is stylized as lower-case, "loml"

    Bought from a record store on Discogs, I love it!

      Sounds pretty good, no complaints there. The record is more of a very dark brown coffee color, very pretty.

        the color is absolutely stunning. sadly, mine came with a lot of paper residue that scratched side b very badly. its almost unlistenable. the packaging is beautiful too, she ate the photoshoot up!

          Sound quality is serviceable, pretty quiet in of surface noise, and the color is a stunning dark brown. The packaging is wonderful to look at. Even though this is probably my least favorite TS album, I love to see such a well thought out vinyl release.

            My copy came in flat and plays perfectly, sounds amazing.

              My copy sounds very, very clean. It is not "brown dark translucent" in any way, shape, or form, though. It's a black vinyl. "Ink black" is what she's calling it, I guess, but it's just a normal black vinyl. It sounds good, probably better than most of her releases.

                The mastering of this album is really nice, but the second LP sounds like rice krispies even after a wet wash and dry brushing. (Edit: Another run through the Spin Clean and a few more plays solved the problem! Make sure you give it a good clean.) The vinyl color and packaging are beautiful.

                  I was pleasantly surprised. The discs are not warped at all, and they play dead quiet.

                    I agree the vinyl is a little thin, but mine sounds good with no warping. The packing for this variant is spectacular. It fits the vibe of the album and screams quality. The vinyl color is a very dark brown, which is a nice surprise as I expected a standard black variant. Overall, very pleased!

                      No warping on my copy and it sounds incredible. A few ticks but nothing to complain about. Vast improvement over any of my copies of Midnights.
