Notes

Bad World Records exclusive.
Pressed on blue liquid filled vinyl, limited to an unknown quantity.
Housed inside a full-colour, gloss-printed, single-sleeve jacket.
Full-colour, double-sided lyric sheet and full-colour, double-sided credit sleeve included.

* Released unsealed.
* Technically this is just 2 clear copies, glued together, so it's about 500g-ish.
* Vinyl housed inside a clear PVC sleeve.
* 32-hour pre-order window pressed as many ordered.
* Some copies arrived without the jacket, just the inserts and vinyl.

This album was recorded between January & May 2022 at Real World Studios, Bath, U.K, Electric Lady, New York, U.S.A, Noble Street Studios, Toronto, CA & RAK, London, U.K.
Evan Smith at Pleasure Hill Recording (Portland, ME), John Gautier at Sound House Studios (Lakeland, FL).

    My copy sounds amazing and it’s always fun to add another liquid filled vinyl to my collection

      Mine came quite a bit warped. Sounds ok tho. Have to store it outside the sleeve because it doesn't fit in the sleeve which is a
      Minor detail but still wish the sleeve was made a but larger haha

        it sounds super super quiet. no surface noise but the mix is very low and quiet.

          The record looks incredible, sounds incredible, overall pretty much flawless! That being said, I really wish the sleeves had been a little thicker. I'm sure it won't be long before both the inner and outer sleeves have marks from the edges of the *very* thick record straining them... ittedly, not sure how to do this with the inner, but the outer could have at least been one of the sleeves used for double non-gatefold LPs at minimum extra cost.

            I honestly didn’t know what to expect sound wise but no complaints!

              Super sick vinyl, don’t really like how all the other items that are normally included (lyric sheet & inner sleeve) were all packaged loosely outside of the jacket and the jacket while being a thick material (which is nice) has a glossy coating which makes it feel like more of a bootleg rather than a reissue. Regardless of that I’m super happy with this release after waiting months. Definitely coolest record in my small collection.

                  I am shocked at how good this sounds. It is as quiet, if not quieter than your normal LP.

                    I wish the vinyl slipcase was big enough to go over the jacket sleeve. The slipcase itself is worthless as storing the record in it will damage the record.
                    The record itself is exactly as I hoped it would be, but I don’t have another copy to compare the audio quality to. The audio on this sounds just okay to me (Fluance RT-85 and Kanto YU-4 with Bass6 sub)

                      the way this was packaged gave me a genuine heart attack
