Sound is great, no pops or cracks (Rega P2, Carbon Cartridge). This is one of my favorite all-time albums, huge Fleet Foxes fan.

An album with sentimental value
Presented in a carefully pressed and mastered double lp gatefold

The sounds alone will tie the room together

The poster helps too.

One of the early installments to my collection

A perfect album for a quiet Sunday afternoon
Or Late night reading

Picked this up at a record fair in Seattle at the Sub Pop label table for $17 dollars last year, no joke.

Can anyone confirm the color of this release? I know they did a green transparent for their self titled and would like to know if they did something special for this reissue as well.

Anyone know how this version sounds compared to the 2011 European press?

At first I felt this album inferior to Fleet foxes - Fleet Foxes but after 2 more spins I retract that and say it might even be better. A release just as well made as the one before. Certain spots of the record are riddled with more clicks and pops but overall its not too bad of a pressing, although could certainly be better. Luckily songs like Blue Spotted Tail are completely free of them. The mastering however is quite spot on. If you liked their first album dont hesitate with this release. Just give it a few go's.

Equipment used:
Rega RP1 with Rega Carbon cartridge
Cyrus 2 Amplifier
System Fidelity SF-3050 tower speakers
Custom made HQ speaker cables

Were more of these pressed eventually? What are the chances that out of /200, over 3/4 of them are registered on Discogs and more are up for sale?

EDIT: Now the "Have" number is over 200 - something is up.
