Weird sleeve aside, the design on the packaging is really neat, the cut-out effect looks even better paired with the white vinyl. I will say it looks very cool and I might try to find a way to display it some other way than having it sandwiched on a shelf which I think might actually cause some damage. None of my replacement sleeves fit the outer sleeve so I'm stuck with it for now. The inner PVC sleeve is a bit weird and definitely tricky to get the record out the first time. It's really the packaging overall that holds the album from being pristine. Just personally glad to hear the 'Don't Stop Now' tune (which is purportedly called 'You Know What?', which makes it the Teenage Wasteland/Baba O'Riley of VGM tracks) on a physical release. A brief soundtrack at less than 25 minutes, but Matsuura and Laugh & Peace made the most of the duration with quirky, tempo-changing melodies. The music itself is pretty much a banger. So I put the record in the MOFI sleeve, and then carefully put the sleeve with the record inside the PVC, so the record never touches/sticks the outer material and the package can maintain the aesthetic of a white background on both sides of the screen-printed PVC. Everyone else already mentions putting the record in a new inner sleeve, but I noticed a MOFI anti-static sleeve can fit snugly inside the PVC sleeve. I have my own unusual (if familiar) solution to the sleeve dilemma for long-term storage. The PVC sleeve itself is a bit crumpled here and there, but you can't exactly make miracles with PVC sleeves in general it's gonna wrinkle. And this is the 54th customer who made that same joke.įortunately for me, the vinyl sticking to the PVC is the only worst case scenario I have with my copy, as the vinyl sounds good. Just because the label has 'Minimum' in the name doesn't mean it should be applied to the album's jacket.
