The Gold Experience Vinyl Reissue Question

Before I commit to buying like the 7th version of this...does anyone know if there is a liner with the origibal artwork and lyrics included? Or just sleeves...?

Thanks in advance... lol

I guess heaven really is keeping score...the cosmos are right handed and I am sucker for that right hook.

Inner sleeves are identical to the original ones (with lyrics, prictures and introduction). Shiny paper that has a lot of static (sticks like mad).

Unfortunately, the artwork of the new LP is of a much lower quality than the original - as is often the case with older albums, the cover is a blown-up or scanned picture and has lost a lot of its detail. It's not disastrous, but if you put the original and this release next to each other, the difference is very noticeable ...

I have played it yet, so I can't comment on the vinyul itelsef.

My copy came today. I started with LP two (only so much time to listen today) -- aside from a couple pops during Eye Hate U, which will hopefully go away with a cleaning, it sounds great! Nice and dynamic.

The inners static was the worst I've ever known. It was a real struggle to get the records out. I have now transferred into polylined sleeves. They should really come with them for the prices we have to pay these days.

In terms of sound, so far I've only heard the first side. No problems but not blown away. I sold my promo copy as I hated the the brown paper bag cover. No difference in sound from that to this but I didn't expect any.

No thanks, I'm gonna pass. My RSD version from last year is good enough
