Does anyone have an extra jacket they could sell me?
VolutedMetal85 Apr 5, 2021
I have a club version that I don't think is listed. It has both the D124738 and the BMG Direct side by side with the barcode above them. Cake flowers on disc. Bought on eBay. One of the best sounding CDs in my collection (probably sounds the same as any pre-2019 CD of it though)

What is up with the last photo (15/15)? Was there a postcard thing that came with the CD? I have my dad’s so god knows. He doesn’t remember.

The only way to improve on ANY single-disc pressing is to spread it out over TWO discs. There is over 18 min per side on the single disc versions. Strong bass cannot happen in this situation.

This year is the 25th anniversary of this amazing album
The Deleo brothers said that Purple was gonna get the same treatment as the Core 25th Anniversary Edition, lets hope we get a 5.1 mix as well

Please add new Matrix / Runout (Variant 5): 3 82607-2 SRC**02 M1S3

Does the M.O.V. version sound better than the original Atlantic pressing? Because I was never happy with my original Atlantic purple vinyl copy from '94. The bass just sounds dead, which is a shame because I like most of his playing. Out of all these reissues, you'd think they could have remastered one of them!
