riddle350 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 that's cool looking but I don't think that it's worth that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon720 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Its really limited. I think it originally sold for 50.00 bucks on the GSL site when it first came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendik Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have it, its legit, bought it from the GSL store. It is limited to 1000 copies, and also includes the Frances The Mute 12" single. Unfortunately the plastic thing it came in was cracked at the bottom when i received it from GSL, couldnt bother sending it back and forth to the US. Also, the sound quality is shit, so if you intend to listen to frances the mute on vinyl, dont buy this version. Kind of surprised how long this one was available in the GSL store without selling out. Hope it gains some value one day, i really have no use for it.

chiefwahoo Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Like bendik said, this is legitimate and was available forever in the GSL store for $50. I've got one as well, it's quite nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I emailed GSL about a copy of this back when they had it on their site (like 18 months ago) but never got a response. Were there versions in the red bag that werent glow in the dark? I saw one second hand in a store once and thought it was a little peculiar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've heard all the glow in the dark copies have a pressing defect and thus have terrible audio quality. Not worth the original $50, if you ask me.

monk0nuggets Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I've definitely seen this before. I would like a copy, but it sucks to hear the sound quality blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant believe they sold this thing actually, considering the sound quality. Worst sounding record i have. Dont they have any kind quality control?
