    You can still buy a brand new copy on Interscopes website and the money will go to a charity

      This art cover makes sense once you delve into the artist who created it.

        sound on this album is really great! It’s a thicker album than most and the “picture” is set underneath some relatively deep clear vinyl from what I can tell. Bass is tight, came flatter than Kansas. Only knock is some seam small splits on the inners but nothing too terrible.

        I dig the alternate art but the original is iconic. Certainly worth it for me but your mileage may vary.

          I dare you to open it and post the actual record. Y'all cowards don't even smoke crack.
