(But yeah, 100%.)

Liv Tyler’s character hand claps on the single, so she is kinda but not really on the album.
 For real though, not a big fan of the cover and would have preferred something era appropriate, like you mentioned.

Still waiting for That Thing You Do!!

So it looks like there's invisible items on NJ, HIL and The Chariot's Merchnow sites... *Fingers crossed*

If they do include everything, I might be tempted to grab it and sell the OG box just to satisfy my OCD. If it's just the album, I'll probably convince myself that I'm okay with:
LP1    LP2    LP3    LP4     LP6 
on my shelf

Can’t wait to piss off the neighbors.

Got mine today (EU). 10/10 for how they shipped this, I ordered both standard and collectors editions and both come sandwiched in cardboard with plastic corner ding protectors. And as if that wasn't enough, it's inside a cruciform mailer that's then wrapped in bubble wrap.
 
Anyway, the record packaging is again just the loveliest thing. I don't want to spoil it but there's loads of lovely touches. I find the third sleeve with the paper stuff in it a bit meh, maybe it could've just been a big 12x12 booklet instead but that's a minor issue on something otherwise so well executed. The records look great, love that the side a/b splatter looks different on each side. On a quick sound comparison, there's not much of a sound quality difference between the single and 2xLP edition apart from more sides flipping per 10 seconds of music. I'm sure someone can tell you how you can hear the crystal clarity of badger breathing on track 6 or some shit, but truth be told it sounds like the bass is deeper which gives everything else room in the mix. The single lp bass is rounded out a little and feels more set with everything else in the mix. Neither are bad pressings, both sound fantastic.
 
I didn't think all those years ago, when I bought Ten Stories on a whim, that mwY would become a band I loved this much to own a whole discography and it's great to have it complete, along with the bank notice to reclaim my home.

You can’t see the warps when it’s hanging on the wall.

Ngl, that's pretty smooth. Rob Thomas would be jealous.

I just bought this stupid fucking thing and I can’t believe it. 

I was able to get that so thank you. 

Also it doesn't have the most important part of these reissues... a belly band featuring "LP5" on the spine. 

I dunno, maybe this is an original "90s" Sub Pop sticker... but even if it is, $188 is a lot of bones for something that's basically identical to something they still throw in for free with pretty much any online order to this day:

200 bucks... i guess this is not the way, huh?

Fearless owns Razor & Tie now and I haven't seen them put anything on vinyl since the acquisition. I was really hoping for Sworn In and some others but no luck.

can you even imagine being a big time vc user who is also a big mwY fan that sees this thread bumped consistently for a week and never even once clicks it? Also they don’t follow them on any form of social media but they are their favorite band? GTFOOOOOOOH BUFF 

This is the first SS/T&N release to utilize the new vinyl guy. Going forward this will become the standard. I made a longer post about it in the Beloved Failure On thread, but the short of it is the poor mastering and general cheapness T&N has come to be know for should be getting phased out.
