It has arrived and did so approximately 5 weeks ago. FWWM is a current favourite that gets a few plays per week and increasing. I have previously only played this score on YouTube before acquiring a physical copy. Thankful for all prevelidges but also glad that those days are over.
As a hobby musician, student and enthusiastic listener - this album couldn't have come at a better time for all of my current musical indulgences etc. I will hush now because I realise that this is a collectors website.
I like the die cut and hope that it stays intact for centuries to come.
I like the look of the records when I pull them out to play them.
Flip the gatefold and there is a healthy amount of text that has been printed upside down. I will accept that the text may have the correct orientation for the northern hemisphere but if the function of the inners,outer fold is to complete the outer edge of the outer package then it has been printed upside down. I am not concerned with lyrics at this stage but they are included. One day I will be curious enough to try to read the blue on black text. So far it has served me well and perfectly lead me along a discovery path to explore the biography and music of Jimmy Scott. Overall this packet is a special way to behold and to archive a body of work that more than deserves it.
Back to the actual discs. Pretty colours that fill me with uncomfortable joy on the way to the TT where they no longer function as a spectacle as these very bad boys have a real job to do. And the best thing about this experience is that the CD arrived a week before this. These records are plagued with what is hopefully Static. I don't have a Static gun as I have luckily never had this problem.
Please recommend a model if it is generally agreed that one out performs another.
So far the CD kills it - especially at 12,500 watts of an AT system as done last Saturday night at work as well as in the car on the 170km drive to and from. And on the shitty denon driven,Sony boom box in the kitchen.
Ending this silly review here until after an attempt to discharge the Static has been performed.
