No, both this and the Holy Fire box are as mint as it gets, but they were well packaged and I'm less than an hour away from where they were dispatched from, so there wasn't a whole lot of time for them to get knocked around.

Yeah it's the exact same size which is nice. It does have an irritating bit of paper around it though, which is frustratingly tight. thatswhatshesaid

My WWD box arrived today, 133/2000 with a a polaroid of Yannis.

I wasn't familiar with their pre-Sports output, so I when I saw the thread I assumed that was the title of the weirdest concept album ever.

I still love this. Of course it's not TSOPTC, it was never going to be.

It's a shame if the demos aren't in there, I've really enjoyed listening to all the loop pedal jam stuff in the last couple of special editions.

I hadn't gotten around to getting the Beautiful Freak repress so I'm super excited about the box set!

Awesome, I think BSM still have some of the black.

Is this as good as Painted Shut? I lurrrrrv me some Painted Shut.

You could do this for each album, highlight the girl and the creepy dudes on D&G, the Fox on Daisy...

I heard Last City by chance and they've had me ever since. Can't wait for this.

If anyone's London based then HMV on Oxford St has a bunch of white copies.

Saw the black die-cut version in a store today, is that actually limited/deluxe?

This is a great idea, I loved the old CD slip.

I just listened to the Billy Corgan's car keys song, amazing.

I wish I understood how Comedy Central Records decide what they put out as digital and what also gets a vinyl release. Bo Burnham's fanbase would totally go for vinyl, and any of the Meltdown Comics, er, comics, would be able to shift good numbers of a limited release. Pete Holmes, Kumail, Hardwick etc. Paul F Tompkins taped a new special in LA a few weeks ago and the show poster would make for an awesome record sleeve.

Signed up for Prime in order to see if anything grabbed me during Wednesday's sale, got this delivered on a Sunday for a mere £12.99. It's a lovely set, the art is so nice.

Different Damage was the first record I ever bought, lovely find!

There isn't so much as a trace of RHCP style frat-funk on this record.

I'd quite like a gold/black if anyone has a spare/unwanted copy. I think it suits the artwork better than the other variants.

I don't think he says anywhere that there'll be Eros tracks on the new one, I think the article's got that wrong.

I think Chase This Light and Invented are both waaay better than they're generally regarded. Damage sucks big time though.

I listened to Lead Sails for the first time last week, and there's some real laugh out loud moments on that thing. Interested to see what they sound like now.

The HMV 'pressing' is exactly the same as the standard blue, right down to the catalogue number.
