    I found a sealed copy, with 7 inch Demo, only missing bandana and slip mat. I've since open and played it, a beauty to behold and sonically a marvel. Vinyl flat, and without pops and or clicks. Seeing some of the other's experience I feel fortunate to have this literally in Mint condition. Would have been nice to had the bandana, but I really only need the album. Goes along nicely with my 10yr Consolors Of The Lonely vinyl. Hope the Raconteurs do at least one more album.

      Mine is comically warped but sounds pretty good. Variant itself is beautiful.

        The record is beautiful. It does run a bit quieter than some of my other releases. Still a very enjoyable version of a very good album!

          I ed the Vault just for this release and have to say the color is stunning, but it's pressed oddly quietly. I have to play it much more loudly than my other records. Other than that, sounds great!

              The Green Marble is very cool... However, as you'd assume it's a noisy pressing because of the color. I also have an issue with the run out groove hitting the label which is unusual for a TMR product. I still enjoy the package and absolutely the album. If you want the best sounding variant maybe do the Indie pressing.

                My copy is not flat and wobbles big time while playing. Anybody else have this issue? Should I try to get a different copy from TMR?

                  I understand why TMR doesn't do cards for their live and exclusive material, but for a new album, I really wish they would (as they had done in the past), since I assume most of us want this on our portable media devices as well.

                    I am going to chime in here and say that this is in contention for the best sounding thing to come out of the Vault. For being a swirly/metallic streaked LP my copy is flawless and sounds as good as any audiophile pressing I have listened to recently. Sounds AAA, with huge bass. Plus, this album is front to back brilliant. Kudos all around.

                      Butcher cover parody underneath the lenticular cover for those that peel it off. https://variety.com/2019/music/news/raconteurs-jack-white-beatles-butcher-cover-parody-1203251055/
