    My copy didn't come with a card. Anybody have one they aren't going to use / a FLAC or two perhaps? Message me...

      absolutely beautiful. Sound is deep and warm like a summer ocean. If you love this ep its a must have.

        Thrilled with this release! It sounds fantastic, and Bjork harmonizing with the female vocals of the Dirty Projectors is a huge win from RSD.
        Can’t recommend highly enough if you like either of these artists.

          Solid pressing! I love the 45rpm. This sounds fantastic. A+. So glad I scored this version.

                My store only had one copy. So, it felt like a miracle to get my hands on this…. Sounds great and I especially love the live portion. Doesn’t have that weird sound to it a lot of live recordings pressed to wax have. Iykyk… lol.

                  Got my copy. Really great sound quality, hardly any surface noise. I was scared that with disc 1 being 45 rpm and disc 2 being 33, that the sound quality between the two wouldn’t be comparable, but the music consistently sounds great across both discs (with only a little distortion on the last couple tracks of side D). The demos are really interesting to hear, even if I won’t listen to them often, and I’m glad to finally own this album. Would recommend if you’re a fan!

                    I got both disks but Side C is mislabeled as Side A on my copy. Anyone else run into this?
