Yeah I finally picked up the 45rpm deluxe a few weeks back to replace my stupidly purchased unofficial copy. It sounds incredible and the bonus disc has a few of the Albini mixes included on it, that’s good enough for me. @me after ya give it a spin, I would like to get your take.
Did you send them a picture on how it’s supposed to look like?
If only there was even an option to do that. I called them and said what the actual hell are you guys doing. So now for my troubles I get to return these 4 discs, have my order cancelled because they're pulling it from the site. Then when they figure it out and re list it, I can re buy at full price. SWEETDid you send them a picture on how it’s supposed to look like?
Thanks, I just listened to that one recently. I think they did a repress since I got that and Operators right from the label.
Was it a warehouse deal with packaging damage?
Nope. New. Both times just two discs in paper inners loose with nothing else. I have no idea what the heck they've done here.

They want them both back and they mostly sound like crap. Though there are songs that are clean and actually sound pretty good, but then others that are poppy and crappy.
Yeah about the only thing you can do from North America is to go on Cogs and buy the Optimal EU press and swap the discs. I don't think theres any way to make sure in store you aren't buying the Rainbo pressing.
Thanks, I would assume the EU pressing would be a bit better (at least, that's my experience). I am sure the boxset it beautiful and I know you have like all the boxes and that's cool. I am probably won't go down that road unless they added something either from music or quality standpoint.
