Cover Art - 10/10
Cover Quality - 7/10 (cheap cardboard that started to peel off from brand new)
Sound Quality - 10/10
Vinyl Quality - 6/10 (for some), 9/10 (for everybody else) - the records (all 3 LP's) are just a little too big to fit on the platter. For about 1-2 seconds per rotation, the records scratches against the arm holster. Not a problem if you have an expensive turntable with no plastic on the arm holster but in my case, I had to cut the uneven edges with the wallpaper knife... Besides, vinyls are really thin. It's not 180g reissue but the sound quality is phenomenal so...
Overall - 7/10 - Great packaging and sound quality is perfect but it's cheaply made and clearly rushed so be careful. -
I ordered mine long ago and I love it, but I want to ask if all the copies are signed by M. Gira himself as mine.

Edited 3 years agoI have an alternative version where MPO number is different but otherwise seems identical to this pressing. Side A is 21196909. Purchased via Amazon AU, July 2021 -
Edited one year agoCover Art: 10/10
Sound Quality: 10/10 (Side E have tracks switched but hey, better start the E-Side with "Oxygen" and ending with "Kirsten Supine" isn't that bad as I mean)
Packaging: 10/10
Total: 10/10, Recommended Masterpiece. -
just ordered off of merchbar. 5 stars for the audio contents of this record, not sure about the quality of the vinyl yet. -
