    I went ahead and took this deal even though still at this price it is pretty high priced. It came today in just a mailing label stuck to the shrinkwrap covering most of the hype sticker. The shrinkwrap was a bit torn but surprisingly no damage except to the hype sticker (usually I do save them in the box on such things. I'll keep it but you would think an expensive item would get better treatment.

    My Cabaret Voltaire showed up today in the White Baggie of Doom... but then a sealed cardboard mailer inside.

    What is the point of that?! The WBOD even calls out how it is so much better than their normal packaging... but then they use the normal packaging too! Sort of defeats the whole environmentally friendly purpose don’t it?

    Not sure how great a "deal" it is. It's only $1 off

    Do you have it and is it good? I was going to pass, but for $14.77, I pulled the trigger.

    I have it, and, like many latter day Elvis Costello albums, it has hits and misses. I didn't like either of the two songs issued prior to the album release, so I had low hopes. But there is some better stuff on the album. And I like that EC still sounds engaged at this late date.

    It's a good enough deal for me; thanks! I've been using some of the PJ Harvey LP reissues as "fill-in" to reach free shipping thresholds at Music Direct whenever they release a new MFSL title that I want. This beats the Music Direct pricing by about $7. Hope my streak of receiving securely double-boxed LPs from Amazon continues with this one...

    I paid $60 for it back in 2018 and thought that was a good score. I recommend getting this, even though episodes are readily available to stream. The bonus content is pretty great. You get radio adaptations and commentary tracks (some culled from archived interviews).

    I'm afraid to open it...

    The latest from Amazon.

    The good news is that it didn't come in the White Bag of Death and it is actually sort of in a 'box'

    The scary news is that it is probably the world's thinnest cardboard box known to man (or woman)

    This is a very rare case for me where the Spirit of Ohio must've taken over my soul or something and I ordered a rather expensive Japanese remaster of King Crimson Discipline (Amazon only had the Japanese version) So, I guess at some point I will have to drop some Valium or 'something' and somehow get up the nerve to open it...

    It's a deal to me, and for me. Taking the plunge for this finally. Thanks for posting this!

    That looks like the mailers I’ve gotten from UK sellers over the years. They’re not great, but I have to admit they work better than you’d think.
