5.0 out of 5 stars Review of the vinyl, not of the album, September 24, 2009

There are plenty of reviews of the music out there, see the CD listing The Soft Bulletin for example. If you're buying the record album, two beautiful slabs of virgin vinyl, you're either a fan or a collector. For the fan, yep, it sounds great on a good turntable and there's always something special about putting a record on, flipping it, watching it spin up, and the needle touch down. For the collector, okay, enjoy.

Two records, gatefold album, 180 gram virgin vinyl, bonus CD contains "The Captain," "Satellite Of You," and "1000 Ft. Hands"

The Soft Bulletin arrived in perfect condition and within days of ordering it. It arrived in bubble wrap in a tightly-sealed white box. It was great!

Ok, so some people will think I'm nuts, but I am truly upset with this release. When the Soft Bulletin finally came out on vinyl a few years ago, they used alternate takes, different mixes and the track order was a little different. I was so excited to see this was finally coming back out on vinyl, because I thought it would finally be redone just like the CD, however, this just seems to be a repressing of that original vinyl, which still has the different takes and one song not on the CD, "Slow Motion". There is also a CD with 3 bonus songs. While I think there would certainly be interest in an alternate release of demos, outtakes, etc. from the sessions for this record, am I the only one who wishes they would release the album just as it came out on CD? It's such a great record, and I would just enjoy hearing it (on vinyl) the way I remember the CD.
