But why not turn the slipcase around? I have the back of the slipcase with gorgeous HALLOWEEN lettering pointing to the front.

I suspect that the content and order will be similar to the previous Mondo release as well as the expanded CD, but obviously from a different source. Eager to see a tracklist.

It's interesting and relevant to my interests (and I'm guessing will have a very different feel to the stereo-mixed album version...)
So my guess is that this would be the music as prepared for the film. But I would think the volume moves (ducking for dialogue etc) would probably be present so it might require some work to sort of undo those moves. And there’s probably noise and hiss issues that had to be dealt with. I’m guessing that’s what they mean by “mixing”?

I'm happy with the artwork and the details regarding this soundtrack, glad to be able to complete the boxset. I'm also hyped up to go see Halloween 2018 in theater soonI think the artwork in itself is fine, it just doesn't scream Halloween 1, or that it's this huge 40th anniversary. There are so many iconic parts to the film that could have been reinterpreted to better encapsulate the film. I'm still excited for it, but I just don't think it fits, just my opinion, I'm more excited for the music inside anyways.

I haven’t figured out yet if there’s a way to open this and preserve it, but given the way that this packaging opens to reveal the record, I don’t think there is.I managed to unstick the hype sticker from the plastic and placed in on the outside of the Mofi Master Sleeve I put the record in.
