This is a quality release, the packaging is a sturdy heavy duty cardboard construction. You can see the natural brown color of the cardboard in the sleeve. Plus the records sound great.

Purchased new direct from SST in 2022. One of the cleanest records I’ve received in a long time. Silent also. Gatefold is strong and sturdy. I appreciate they didn’t correct the misprint that was on the original release on the label/cover for Track A5 and D2.

Is the inside cardboard also brown like the early first press version?
likeastranger Aug 24, 2020
The catalogue of my pressing indicates it was released ca. 2002/2003.

A lot of seller's are claiming it is new and still sealed. Even though it's 31 years old..

Mine came with a SST record sampler CD from 2008. I believe this release came out around this time.
