I haven't seen anyone else post this, forgive me if I am just blind.
My POB vinyl 3LP set arrived today....bloody hell I am blown away. I'd never heard POB before, it's a really great record. I haven't got to the Bambu material yet, I am just giving the first disc a second go.
But the quality of the triple LP set....first off its on lovely blue vinyl, which makes a lovely touch. The packaging is gorgeous triple-gatefold made from heavy card (though not as heavy as the US SMiLE release) and includes a separate lyric sheet booklet and a printed "handwirtten" message from Dennis. I suspect these are in the CD booklet too, but in 12x12 size for the former and 6x6" for the latter...truly stunning.
I am glad I paid the extra for the LPs! Worth the wait.
Nice. I have the original LP and always liked the photos (although I always wondered why the cover shot is the haziest of them all).
