Shelby Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I think I'll just throw my white copy out and use the sleeve to hold the special edition discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Or you can slide a MOFI sleeve into the green cardboard slot like I did. It fits on all closed sides with just a tiny bit out the top that doesn't go higher than the outer cover. It works great.

Good to see it'll work with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floyd_z Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Got mine, it really is beautiful. I really wish the quality of the packaging matched the vinyl though. I didn't clean Side A and there was some noise. Cleaned the other three sides and that seemed to help a little. The second half of Side D was pretty bad, especially "True Love Waits" probably just cause it's a quieter song. Still a bummer. Does anyone know if the artwork will be available in prints? I'd love to buy two or three of them. checked on w a s t e and saw some prints for their shows, but they were all sold out. I'd hate to take a razor to this thing. Maybe something will pop up on Etsy in a bit? Still one of my favorite albums ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalenforcer Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I think Donwood has sold some of his prints already via his personal site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfingelectrode Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Anyone else's tracking acting weird? Mine shipped from PA, went to NJ, and is now in CA - but I live in Florida? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fit almost perfectly with literally 1/4" sticking out of the top. kannibal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalenforcer Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 +1 on the Mofi sleeves. Finally opened my copy last night and I echo what everyone else has said - absolutely stunning package. I love the materials they used all around, especially for the cover and the lyric pages. I LOVE those lyric pages. As somebody that works in the printing industry I appreciated pretty much every little choice they made. I have a bit of glue along the inside back edge of the back cover. A little sticky but it's fine. A part of me wishes the cover wasn't treated with an overlay color, as I prefer the white, but perhaps that would have been prone to getting dirty. Still looks great and I'm a big "midnight green" fan. highfives and SE7EN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress On The Sky Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 My copy arrived yesterday and I have to say this deluxe set takes "pretty" to a whole new level. If I won the lottery I'd fill my house with Donwood's art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it will stop being sticky over time, but it's there - although the way the book was done it isn't bothering anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as you say the lucky part is that it isn't going to interfere with anything else... Still kinda sucky that it's there, on what is otherwise an exceptional package.

ejc625 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Mine surprisingly didn't have any sticky stuff anywhere. There was a little residue from where the belly band was glued on the front, but that's it. My MoFi sleeves are sticking out quite a bit more than everyone else's seems to be. Plus, they are crinkling up and causing the sleeve to stick out. Not that big of a deal though. Overall, I love the packaging. I, for one, love the alternate green cover. Will probably find a way to keep this one displayed along w/ my DelUxe Edition of In Rainbows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Mine just got here and it's gorgeous. Just gave it a quick look through, but I'm real impressed with it so far. Little bit of sticky residue on the last page, but that's about it. Have to head to work soon, but I plan on giving this a listen and a proper look once I get home.

I seem to remember when I sent something to Canada the USPS site only tracked it up until it hit Canada then I had to track it Canadian Post the rest of the way.

AdamJNovak Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Got mine this morning. A tiny bit of sticky residue on the first and last page but other than that, it's fine. Such a beautiful piece. As for the sound quality, I only listened to the first disc. In comparison to my white copy, this sounds flawless. Maybe 3-4 pops along the way, but my white copy sounded awful in my opinion. Haven't listened to the second disc yet, but really hope it's the same. I took the white paper sleeves they came in, flipped them 90 degrees and they fit fairly nicely in the green inner sleeves. They stick out a little bit on top, but I have no problem with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjorn Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'm very happy with my deluxe. Gorgeous art book, I like the bonus tracks, and the records sound fantastic. I really love the art that was created for this album, and I love how the book elevates the record as a musical and visual statement. Great job Radiohead.

According to the app AfterShip it's being shipped Swiss Post? It's weird and I wish I knew where it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine had a little glue on the bottom of the inside front cover - a bit sticky. I thought it was odd, but just kind of shrugged it off. Good to see I'm not the only one with glue issues. Otherwise, I love the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Mine has glue around all sides of the inside of the front and back covers, plus some residue on the front cover and some big scuffs across the front. It's a beautiful package, but I'm a little miffed at how sloppy my copy was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
