I'll be curious to hear if others note similar distortion; I've experienced issues of that ilk with GOD pressings in the past. And you're correct about the Japanese CD. I owned one for quite some time before ripping it lossless and moving it on. It's such a great score.
It's the opaque/solid red and it sounds good to me even in headphones. Don't be thrown off by the opening track Ghost Dog Theme (w/Dogs & EFX) as this starts off at a low volume and the added effects almost sound like surface noise (hah), but when the second track drops all will become clear. I'm not an audiophile, but I hear some distortion on the very high frequency sounds on the Ghost Dog Theme, but it might be my needle or equipment. Overall package 7/10, as I would have preferred black or transparent red vinyl and some liner notes from RZA on the production of the original music. They also messed up the tracklist on both the sleeve and the labels as tracks 9&10 are actually on side A and not on side B. All that said, the music is sounding excellent to me. I never went for any of the bootlegs cut over the years, so it's been a long wait to finally have this on vinyl. The original score was only released in Japan on CD as far as I know.
There's a big difference between winging it and seeing what happens. Now let's go see what happens.
