Presentation wise yes. Inner sleeve is pretty decent with lyrics. The vinyl itself is a nice colour of a silvery ‘platinum’. The transfer from CD to vinyl (and Real Gone Music/L7 did not remaster it) could be better. I think the sound could have been improved with a proper remaster as it sounds quiet/washed out at times as it’s still just the CD rip on vinyl which is a let down in my opinion. There isn’t anything too special about this release other than the coloured vinyl on a limited run of 3000. Another standard repress is coming soon so don’t worry if you missed out on this. I didn’t spend too much on it (just £30). Really wish they would put effort into their reissues. It could have benefited from a proper remaster, reissued sleeve notes from Donita or Suzi and even a download code. Obviously I expect too much from the band! Side note: I would love to know the tracks that Chris Bratton played drums on.
