[Poly-Rythmo]

Day 3 - Nice Package
Great album, nice little box set with a great booklet. Love this record so much.
Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs

 

[ByersVinyl]

So many good records to choose, im gonna ignore the boxsets and go for The Books - Always liked this packaging. Cant fault VMP here. Sounds great too.

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

I don’t know if box sets or 45s count for this challenge, but it’s a full-length album so I thought I’d play it...

Day 3: Nice Package

Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)



A 7x 45 box set that Get On Down released a couple years back. The sound quality isn’t different from the other pressings of this album, but the packaging is sick! It comes in a casebook detailing the early history of the Clan with song lyrics, along with an outer leather-esque case with a bonus 7” of the uncensored “Protect Ya Neck” and two custom 7” adapters!

Day 3: Nice Packaging

Prince - Piano & A Microphone 1983

Went with the deluxe for this one. Nice hardbound book, Vinyl, Cd, a lyric book, and a print of Prince.

Day 3 - Nice Package!

The TMR Trout Mask Replica came to mind, but since my wife is home, that’s not happening - instead, here’s the Robert Rauschenberg-designed Speaking in Tongues:
