Holy hell, that is fanfuckingtastic.
 
Definitely not, I've regretted that I didn't get it when it was released since it got sold out from everywhere but now I got it anyway yay!

40 page booklet, two posters, lots of yummy

Yummy as it may be in concept, I was severely disapointed by the result. Glossy boolets, coated card for the cover... not to mention the pretty horribly unprofessional job of the artwork. I understand that there were quite a few problems with its release, including the loss of the original artwork, but I still feel a bit let down about it all.

I disagree, I think this was really awesome release, the booklet had a lot of interesting stuff.

I don't mean Décadent, but I find it funny, that now when a lot of these old "gems" are re-released, many have complained how they look etc, but when thinking how many of those vinyls were original released, there was often just simple covers, paperthin vinyls, no big booklets etc. It seems that nowdays if you release a vinyl, it should include a fucking corpse to make everyone happy.
 
The content was superb, I'll certainly agree, but I think the layout was really disapointing. The cover is quite pixelated and the logo is blurry. These are things that could likely have been avoided or corrected by a professional prepress designer. I know my complaints come across as being pedantic, but I think on a release of this calibre, some more attention should have gone into the presentation.

Yes, those things just didn't bother me that much and I say again, the other part of my writing was not aimed to you, just overall thought.
