Flimsy Box for Vinyl Set
4 out of 5 stars
bsvsewngUnited States🇺🇸
The packaging is really pleasant to look at and it’s well-made with high-quality printing. The vinyls sound fantastic and the Japanese collectibles are gorgeous. I do have one issue though. The box itself is a tad too flimsy to accommodate 8 vinyls, the memorabilia, and the booklet. It’s fine for the CD box set. You need to be gentle with it as it might get damaged over time. Considering the price, they could’ve improved it by making it fully enclosed.
Excellent Sound, Rare Tracks
4 out of 5 stars
MzMvukvmiwaUnited States🇺🇸
Sound quality is excellent here, featuring sharp drums and clear vocals without any harshness. The vinyl is fairly quiet, though there are a few spots with slight surface noise. I received one record that was slightly warped but managed to straighten it out. The track choices and performances are fantastic, even including some rare tracks he didn't often play before or after this period.
