Such a beautiful release. The quality of the pressing is insane, dead quiet, rich, and detailed. Some might hate it, but I really love the hiss of the tape cassette master tape. All in all, a glimpse into the process of a mysterious artist and a must-have for any big fan or completionist.

Haunting release. Loved the quality of the recording from the bootlegs we had. Much better. Cold Coffee and Cocaine on repeat.

There is probably only one release....not EU and US!
The both US and EU versions have printed in EU on Labels and the Cover has printed in USA!
Seems to me that there is just one release...they are both the same!
