Edited one year agoBrilliant album, artwork and packaging. A word of warning about the PVC inner sleeve used in this packaging, it will off gas and leech chemicals into the vinyl over time and cause irreversible damage. I noticed when I first opened mine, the LP had an oily cloudy substance all over it from this sleeve. After deep cleaning the LP, I tossed that inner sleeve sucker out and replaced it with a quality Mofi inner sleeve, 7 years on the vinyl looks and sounds as perfect as the day I bought it as a result… ☮️ -
These dumb flippers, driving up prices by using bot buyers. “Hey man, go on discogs and go buy my record, you won’t really have to pay it, but it will raise the average price so I can bump up the price….when I “find another copy.”
I dunno who’s dumber, the dudes paying inflated prices or the flippers who think, “well billy 543x sold his for that much, surely I can too!” -

Clear vinyl is noisey like a picture disc. I got the pre release with litho's and was quite disappointed with the clear vinyl. I sold into the frenzy and got the black version instead which is just fine. -
Lolol y'all thinking this is "limited"? If you manage to get 250 quid for this you're quite the businessman -
Pre-ordered the limited clear after reading Tony talk about how they were listening to Kendrick Lamar and going for a Krautrock vibe. No way I'm missing out on that. Received the package after getting home from a late night working, so excited to be able to listen to it the next day. Woke up the next day to the news of his ing, listened to it all day. A beautiful final gift he gave us all. Holding on to it forever. -
Edited 9 years agoSame old story....5000 units (not 100!) on clear vinyl are selling for 250+ euro....the only I can say is that here we have a masterpiece album & black vinyl (last reissue) sounds also fantastic!

After all the lithographs were sold out from the David Bowie website this release was sold by itself, not including any lithographs.
