Bad Mood Rising

It's a dark, rainy morning here but look what just arrived!

I didn't need to get it direct from AmRep either!

How long until the booklet ends up in the bin?

Probably not very long!

where did you find it?

On Amazon via a third party seller probably looking to make a quick buck. It was £22 so i obviously overpaid a little but i didn't care about that i just wanted the CD. I did think it might have been shipped from the US where it seems to be quite available but weirdly on the package it says Switzerland. I wasn't expecting that!

Can you show us the liner notes? The vinyl didn't include any inserts, just a black record sleeve, so I'm curious what the booklet looks like!

is that booklet still alive?

[))))((((]

is that booklet still alive?

Oh yeah. I haven't even gave it a listen yet. I NEVER dispose of any art until after at least ONE listen. It'll probably get a few days or so.

Wow that's like $40-45 AU, that's one expensive CD.

I haven't paid money like that for a CD since about 20 years ago when John Zorn released a limited edition album with Mike Patton & Ikue Mori signed by all three for around $100-150 AU.

i wish you could make a video of this process!

I tell you one thing i have noticed, the quality of the jewel case seems to be quite bad. It feels thinner or cheaper in some way. Perhaps that's what the majority of jewel cases are like these days. Also the CD isn't held in place whatsoever. It would fall right out if you turned it upside down. All in all, it doesn't bother me because i won't be keeping the case anyway but if i was i would wish for something better than this!

Yeah not to defend AmRep at all but all modern CD's these days have cheap flimsy shitty cases, the kind of cases that crack just by looking at them. Not like the late 80's and early 90's when the CD cases were really hard and tough, I know that for a fact because a few years ago I fell back into the trap of buying up cheap CD's from op shops and then ripping them to my laptop and then trading them in for a profit at record stores, some of those old CD's from that time period the cases were as tough as anything. They certainly got made cheaper over time and now they're quite pathetically thin.

Thanks for sharing the liner note pics for the CD. I was hoping the vinyl would include some cool graphics, but nope...

That's why I changed the tray in mine, you can tell by the photos I shared from my Instagram acccount, and also because one of the "little legs" (don't know the actual name of that) on the centre was broken.

What was the last jewel case release? Basses Loaded? Everything else since Hold it In has been digipak?

Edit: Just noticed I crossed the 900 post threshold

I think you're right

The truth can now be told. This album is good.
