    Is there an easy way to tell the sides of vinyl apart? Other than reading the deadwax every time?

      whats the difference between this and the non-limited edition one

        phenomenal album, however my copy with the screenplay came with 2 disc A’s. bought from a local store so it may have not been the manufacture’s fault. not a big deal, i have another copy with both discs.

          Great quality release. Sound quality is solid with very minimal surface noise. Love having the script as a nice collectible.

            With the new news that if the dead wax has a Ⓤ then it's not the RSD version, what should the people do if they have a non-glossy cover copy (1) that doesn't match the runout codes of the other BTI screenplay page, but (2) have a Ⓤ in their dead wax?

              I love this album on it's own. It sounds even better on vinyl

                  What the hell happened with market the value of this record? Has it appreciated so much because of the screenplay?

                      The repress is out, however, it does not come with the screenplay. Just be wary when purchasing this version to make sure yours will come with the screenplay. I would not be surprised to see many new sellers trying to flip the repress because they don't know the difference. This record sounds fantastic by the way. Bass is ridiculous in a good way.
