Reviews
This is a really great release and it's cool to hear highlights with the new lyrics and vocals. The 7s are indeed stored in cardboard sleeves, but even a quick Nintendo blow gets rid of the of the dust. Great set! But just like everything else Tzadik, the nice packaging could be squashed in shipping. We can't all get to New York City to buy your releases, John!- I bought this box new myself tre times. Each copy has scratching sounds 10 to 20 seconds into each song. So guess the damage were already done when the singles were packed. 3 x 6 singles, all with sound problems in the beginning ..
Sounds really good!! But the way they pack it...... ;( There is no way to get it out w/o scuffing the surface and I guess it already got scuffed inside.
