bibshorts1972 Oct 26, 2023
Good god How did they get this to sound so good??? Words words words.
spheneman Jun 15, 2023
The packaging is fine. Just store one of the records in between the gatefold and put it in a sleeve. Essential, inexpensive, great sounding collection, as is the second volume.
tadahn Dec 19, 2016
See below, the packaging is ridiculous! The records are great, but why make a sleeve that can't actually hold all the LPs that come in the set?
