Stone Temple Pilots – Tiny Music...Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop

Loving the sound of this pressing, especially mids and bass. Packaging is excellent too, Top quality! Sure, the CD’s are probably surplus for me but are a nice touch to the overall package. Glad to finally have this

Nice boxset and booklet detailing the production of this album. Annoying that you can't get the album separately from the CDs since I already had them - and they don't come in their own digipak either. Sound quality of the album is good, true to how the CD sounds and a good remaster. overall nice presentation but just a shame about paying to have the CDs as-well, also considering you can only get the live CD through buying this vinyl.

Presentation: 5/5
Pressing (pops, skips): 4/5
Mastering (audio source): 5/5
Sleeve: Black Anti-static Inner

Setup (turntable, stylus): AT-120XUSB, AT-VM95ML

Well, I FINALLY got a great deal on this Deluxe version (after all my whining and bitching below... 😊) I got a like new copy from a nice member at the Steve Hoffman Forums for $41 shipped, so let's just say I jumped on that faster than I would have Sandra Bullock! (and that's saying something!) And YES! The sound is quite good! Probably from a digital source, but I must it that it sounds great on my system. Yes, the AP 75th 2-45 pressings of both Core and Purple are better, but honestly this one sounds so good it is enough for me.

What I'm listening on 😊

Much better than the MOV. CB did a great job mastering this. The instrument separation, details and EQ make it my go to.

Does anyone at least know how 'LIMITED' it is...? I mean, it's been THREE FRIGG'N YEARS! Did they press a million of them or are they going to run out of them. I just want the vinyl, but... I sure hope Rhino puts it out, or even the 2-45 Atlantic, like they did an excellent job with both Core and Purple (THAT is worth $70, not this one...)

This is a great pressing but I was really disappointed that both sides of the record had some crackling during songs, which was especially a pain on the quiet songs like Daisy, Adhesive, etc. I might’ve just gotten a bad copy.

Please PLEASE PLEASE release this on just vinyl! The mastering sounded bloody amazing, but I don't need the CDs and I don't need the $70 price. PLEASE just release the vinyl sometime soon!!!

My favorite band have all their LPS. This pressing to my ears sounds more dynamic than the mov. Plus the packaging is stellar really well done.

This is still on Amazon for $60. Mine arrived yesterday.

by far the best pressing of this album so far. definitely worth the money. the CDs came embedded in the gatefold witch was kinda odd considering it’s not a box set but i can get past it.
