amazing pressing. got this on vinyl, many details that i hadn't noticed on the compressed version. it's amazing. for the $30 i paid, it was very much worth it.

First, these guys were together since 1993 but they announced they are no more in early 2021...Daft Punk were a French electronic music duo of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo...This double LP is a concept album that attempts to take the listener through several decades of musical experiences...I knew of these guys from their attempts to hide their mugs with the huge electronic type helmets they used while performing...Clever gimmick that became a trademark of Daft Punk...This 180 gram recording is nearly flawless and a joy to hear on any stereo system...Not knowing them I am in LOVE now with this album and the sounds they serve up...A real winner here...Hope they get back together at a later date...

So Music Millennium in Portland has a stack of these on their lower shelves (special editions and such) not listed as in stock on their website. They had two sets of different gatefolds, still factory sealed. One set seemed to be later releases with Sony as one of the logos and without digital download, but the other that I picked up for $40 retail in September 2021, as far as I can tell by both the 3 lines of legal text, the digital download coupon, and the runout markings is a sealed original 2013 Chab pressing. They had about a dozen more. If anyone is in the Portland, OR area and looking for this head in there and look on the lower rack below the electronic music vinyls.

JUSTGROOVES Sep 2, 2021

No one wanted this LP until they split, now everyone saying how amazing it is!?!?! d***ks

12inchrules Jul 22, 2021

Strange all those mint 2017 pressings to pop up everywhere.

NojusRogo Jul 13, 2021

Lol why is this album so popular? I really don't get it

selcukmcxi Jul 6, 2021

Juno has it on stock now. Does anyone know if it's the 2021 reissue because the CAT seems off, I don't have it on my hand yet so I can't look it up.

dannynovara Jun 30, 2021

My copy has a misprint on side D.
There are "Thursday" and "Vocal" from the Pet Shop Boys album "Electric" (side D).
The matrix / runout is X20003VL1 BD13753-02 D1 KR
There are no errors on side C, matrix /runout CL88883716861-2 BD11929-02 C2 Chab. ☆
Am I the only one?

dicedpeas May 27, 2021
