referencing You'd Prefer An Astronaut (2×LP, 45 RPM, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Green Translucent) EAR-007
Saying that I am pleased with my copy would be an absolute understatement. I am completely floored and am at a loss for words. Every single song here is so much more expansive and heavy than I’ve ever heard it. Yeah, it’s that good. I have no complaints whatsoever.
Also ordered mine direct from Polyvinyl and it came sealed. It did not come with its own outer sleeve. - Edited 29 days ago

Ordered directly from polyvinyl, and as mentioned by others it came unsealed. The inner liners are not paper, but I'm not sure if they're the "bad" vinyl that you want to avoid for long storage. Regardless, they were both badly creased from being shoved into the jacket and I'll be replacing them with proper poly lined sleeves. Despite this, both disc's were in perfect condition and played flawlessly. The pressing sounds fantastic. One of my favorite records in my collection. referencing You'd Prefer An Astronaut (2×LP, 45 RPM, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Green Translucent) EAR-007
Just got this for Christmas and good lord is it amazing. The deep green looks amazing on both discs and the sound is insane probably one of the best in my collection.referencing You'd Prefer An Astronaut (LP, Album) TIN-012 LP
Too bad it sounds like shit... Go with the 45 rpm instead !referencing You'd Prefer An Astronaut (2×LP, 45 RPM, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Green Translucent) EAR-007
You can still buy this on polyvinyl for $40, do not overpay on here.referencing You'd Prefer An Astronaut (2×LP, 45 RPM, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Green Translucent) EAR-007
You’d Prefer an Astronaut is not available on streaming in Australia, whenever I listen to this LP, it’s on YouTube, so I was used to low quality audio for this album. This pressing is so clean and clear, it really changed the way I hear Hum. 👌referencing You'd Prefer An Astronaut (2×LP, 45 RPM, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Green Translucent) EAR-007
As others have said below, absolutely excellent release here. Sound is fantastic and outstanding quality control on the actual pressing with just about zero surface noise on both LPs. Get yourself a copy if you can. Happy to add this one to my collection.- What C_Wheeler said, this record is still available on Polyvinyl, don't pay these crazy resell prices!
