Truly a must-own for any Nujabes fan with a turntable.

Pressing is silent, jacket material quality is top-notch, and the overall package is very impressive.

Highly recommend

As good as it gets…do not sleep on this pressing

Can't say enough good things about this. Absolutely silent pressing. Love the packaging and quality of card stock used for the jacket. Premium reissue in every way. I have no choice but to buy the Modal Soul reissue. HydeOut did these justice.

whether the orig 2018 pressing was limited or not (seems that it was relatively limited), its been repressed and sold as a pre-order in Jan 2020. someone please set it up a new version if there is anything that will differentiate between the first and second pressings.

Just ordered it via vinyl-digital.de for 40€. Probably still a decent proce since it is a JP import.
Looks like they imported quite a few since there are still some available, world wide shipping.

Didn't know about the release but luckily found it in a Vinylstore while shoping in Tokyo.
Great press. Good sound and of course a must have for every Nujabes-Fan!
Best Souvenir i could get :)

Amazon.jp can't seem to decide whether it's sold out or not, because it keeps adding units infrequently. I question its Limited Edition nature.

Just received my copy from VIN-DIG today. No surface noise - flawless pressing and fantastic packaging quality. Dope album. Totally worth the price.
