Life Without Buildings – Any Other City

Great pressing and artwork. For ~$20 can't ask for more. An underrated gem from 2000s alt

The Monorail one is supposed to be handnumbered but mine isn't. The Rough Trade one doesn't have the 'Glasgow School' sticker or extra badge and has a Rough Trade stamp on the folder. Agree with previous comment that more music would have been better than badge's, stickers etc.

Quite disappointed with this, the splatter isn't very nice and for me doesn't match with the album. The bonuses were why I bought this addition and honestly for the price it's not worth it, the scans of the gig flyers are incredibly low quality it's laughably bad. The facsimile lyric booklet doesn't actually contain all the lyrics and is printed on standard a4 so it feels really cheap. The badges are what they are so if you're a badge nut fair play. Overall underwhelming package, would've made more sense to reissue this with the debut single or hell put the 3 B-sides on a 7 inch with these seeing as they're not all on vinyl.

Anyone else not get the folder and other extras from RT? Contacted them to see how to resolve this as it's a bit of a back breaker to get this imported and they stiff you on the stuff they advertised as being part of the product. *Despite* that, this pressing is solid, nothing too groundbreaking, but plays fine, but won't reveal anything new to anyone who is well acquainted with the album already.

Checks all the boxes. Beloved record, no noise and sounds excellent.

It does have a little more bass than the CD, but also lacks clarity and definition.
Do not recomend it over the CD.

This album should be worth a million bucks and everybody who owns it knows it.

Echoing other reviewers praise. The record is flat and there is NO surface noise. The music is dynamic and lively. What every record should sound like. Cover is colorful. Wish it was a little thicker, but it suffices. The only thing I can complain about is the inner sleeve, which is made with some crappy type of paper.

is this one pressed at optimal, as well (extra words)?

Great pressing and the artwork is very like the original.
