So how does this one sound? As thin as the others are reported to be? Also, this one doesn't even have a proper cover? Just a sleeve? Is it a heavy vinyl or a thin one?????????????? Say something!

It is a sustainable. On a related note, I think I have a third nipple growing out of my left nipple.

Mine came a couple weeks back. It sounds really good. The vinyl is much better quality than the horrible Live in Japan release. No pops at all.

The quality of the songs is great, but definitely varies. Some songs sound like A+ audience recordings while others have a lot more crowd noise that can be a bit annoying. Given what they were using to record these with back then, they sound fantastic overall though.

I think I listened to the whole thing through 2x and then it's been sitting on the shelf since. I'd probably listen to it a bit more if I had the digital files on my phone, but outside of the collectibility, it's not worth the asking price. (But then again, are any of them?)

No, its not worth asking.

[NovaFritz]

But thanks for explaining the actual record quality. I don't get why they produce so many sub-standard vinyls today just for the sake of having them on vinyl. I wonder if Siddharta or Aegea are full of pops as well, given that they are original as opposed to live/archival recordings.

No it does, they just packaged the discs and the actual sleeve separately. Which was actually super convenient.

I haven't played it yet lol.

I see no one, as usual, is being helpful, so: This is a vinyl copy of The Rubano Tapes, an offering from the alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, which either you ordered or someone ordered for you. Madame Zuzu's is a tea shop in Chicago owned by Billy Corgan (singer of the aforementioned alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins) and his partner. As this vinyl and other recent releases seem to be out of Mr. Corgan's pocket and not necessarily through a record company (a guess only; I haven't been paying complete attention here as I have no interest in it), it makes sense to me that he'd have the staff of his little restaurant packaging and sending out these orders as part of their daily duties. HTH

Surprised no one ripped this yet. BTW, The Vigil is a misprint. It's actually Nothing And Everything!
