Show All 35 Reviews- The packaging is amazing, the sound is amazing, the music is amazing....but the b-side has a giant scratch all the way across the grooves, which produces an audible click every 1.7 seconds. Returning to try my luck with another copy.
*other copy was perfectly fine. 
I know there are bad copies out there. Of course there'd be... I can't even imagine how many of these are in circulation. My first copy was almost perfect, but it had a repeated noise by the end of the final disc (unlucky, I know).
Well, I did this intro solely to emphasize how this release sounds if you get one of the good ones: it simply is what every single collector's edition should be. Presentation, check. Quality control, check. Pressing, check. Additional content, check. Mastering, hell of a check. It soars. It makes you wanna listen again as soon as you finish it.
Is my copy a flawless audiophile pressing? No. What happened, then? I kid you not: some clicks on A1, really few, nothing major. And exactly 3 pops spread out over the side B. And that's it.
I paid 46 USD shipping included. I couldn't ask for a better deal, if I'm being really fair.
Can't wait for Act II.

Boom ! Spectacular packaging / inner artwork / pressing & mastering. A flawless release and clearly a work of love.- Mine came today, still sealed. It is NOT in a "premium hard slipcase" as described, but rather a thin cardboard slipcase that i fear will wear out over time. Is anyone else's like this? Oh well, still found a very good deal on a sealed copy.
- Renaissance act I is a masterpiece and the sound quality of this vinyl release is near impeccable. I have a lot more to say, but I need to go listen to this again. I mean the bass…
I will say the internal packaging, while beautifully designed, was torn in multiple places. I’ll pick up another copy sooner or later and hope it’s in better shape, but the vinyl itself is flawless in my experience. - Does anyone know if these will have value in the future? I’d love to buy 2 and keep one sealed but if it’s not worth anything then I’ll just get one.
If anyone lives in the states, it’s on sale for $15 at your local Walmart for Black Friday. Picked it up Nov 16th, 2022 🥰
It looks way better than the limited edition sold on her website + the audio is 10x better. I feel like this could be the actual limited version, since it has much more quality.
how come that some sellers can offer this now for half the price it was on the pre-order?? I feel a bit scammed :/
This could sound better. It’s a good pressing already, but for an album like this I wish the bass was more present. It’s also a bit quiet, have to turn it up.
