The bsides are pretty good. Pimp Panther is the music that was in the original trailer and Spy High is just an all out nice track by SAPS.

Also, listening to it lossless over the itunes version, I again hear that it's notably brighter and less muddy. Is this just a thing with iTunes encoding? I seriously question this.

Such a shame regarding the poster. It looks like such a wonderful noir movie poster.

Depending on how bad the folds are you can either attempt a DIY fix with an iron or bring it to a professional restorer for fixing.

Gonna give it a go myself; if it turns out well enough it'll be framed.

Now that my order has arrived..

This poster just might be the largest foldout any record label has ever crammed into a slipcase of CD width and height. Seriously.

Ringo looked quite abit skinnier, don't you think?

That's a really nice poster! I really want one now...

Anyone knows of a place where I could get the CD + poster edition?

eBay

I don't recommend it for all sold-out Japanese releases, since there are a lot of sellers who will ship you samples or Taiwan counterfeits instead of the legitimate retail product. However, I'm guessing this particular release is safe to get from there, for now, especially if the seller isn't from Asia.

Well, yeah there's this one seller atm selling it at thrice the original price, which is fine with me, but I'm not certain whether it is really the limited edition, although he does say the poster is included.

On Tower Records website I've found out that the limited edition has slightly different catalog number than normal version, and this ebayer lists the number of the normal one... I asked if he could show me few more pictures of the item, but he's yet to reply to my inquiry.


I was wondering if Taiwan releases are safe. I bought a Yutaka Ozaki DVD from Malaysian seller and it definitely was a bootleg of some sort. The DVD itself appears to be fine quality-wise but packaging was very poorly made.

@zordon: you are aware that the poster that comes with it is folded many, many times right? I wouldn't go paying 3x as much as original for it is all I'm saying...
