Supposedly Adult Video Soundtrack had one or two songs with versions different than Adult Video, and yet you don't see any rips from that LP anywhere.

I had my own rip, but I didn't take the time to compare it too closely to the non-Soundtrack Adult Video side-by-side, and.. I think I lost that rip with my most recent hard drive crash. It was 96kHz/24bit from my work setup.

just discovered that the wiki for Saturday Night gossip says that the end rap of Togatta Teguchi serves as the intro into Mittei no Monogatari Saturday Night Gossip version...

it doesn't list any other changes/edits/credits, so it is possible that the song might be the same except for this new intro. if it was in japanese it would most definitely be noted on the wiki by now.

What? She's obsessed about rap! She had already done that with Himitsu. Why, Shiina, why again? I was hoping for a cool Japanese version of the song ¬¬...

probably because she couldn't be arsed to actually rework and record vocals for a LP release months after the original studio sessions for this album. I'm kind of glad I didn't buy the LP. At least with previous LP's they have had some sort of alternate mixes or extra tracks to go along with them, but this one seems like just the singles and a quick alt. rehash of a song into a new edit to make some money. I would say the same about the DVD with the exception that at least 3 of the videos were made expressly for the DVD release and they don't look nearly as cheap as the two videos which were made for official release and album promotion.

Mine came from HMV today in good shape But! The box seemed to be poorly packaged & then used as a seat cushion for an obese person, then as a frisbee. I am astonished that the product is undamaged.

I've noticed a decline in the packaging sturdiness from HMV Japan throughout the years - especially for LPs. They used to give me a box-within-a-box specifically for the LPs. Nowadays they pile up all the LPs onto a cardboard sheet, shrinkwrap all of that together, then glue the bottom of the cardboard to the bottom of the shipping box - leaving plenty of completely empty space between the shrinkwrap and the outer box. Shipping boxes from HMV are just begging to be sat on, and to an extent they can handle it, but I have more respect for the vendors who still use at least some kind of packing material - even when it's just bags/packets of air.

I wasn't overly impressed with the packaging... but it's still nice. The photography is nice and the typography is nice as well. The inside just has a big slip of pink paper with the lyrics on it, printed in a slightly different pink.
The centre of the vinyl uses cropped images from the Sanmon Gossip theme photoshoot.

I don't have a vinyl player, so I've got no comments to make about the songs, hehe
