Vegyn – Blue Moon Safari

RSD shenanigans aside, can't give it a full 5 rating due to the PVC outer sleeve. Off-gassing from non-rigid PVC is no joke, and custom sleeves like this I also can't bring myself to part with, so it begrudgingly s the rest of my beach-ball smelling sleeves as far away from my collection as possible. There are collection-safe alternatives and the vinyl industry seriously needs to change this about itself.

Very happy I picked this up on RSD. Pressing quality is top notch and sounds amazing. It introduced me to Vegyn in the best way and now I'm a fan.

My vinyl is slightly dished, plus has a couple of pops that remain after an ultrasonic clean which just adds to the disappointment of paying dollar for this only to find plenty of stock, with more arriving it seems, at all the non-RSD stores. Remind me of the criteria for an RSD release again? Seems to me you get fed a FOMO line, only for the labels and artists to pull a 'ta-da, there's actually loads of stock' post-RSD. It feels like a pretty shitty way to treat your customers.

did anyone else notice the small silver star that is included with the RSD pressing?

Keep the pvc away from your vinyl, pvc glasses corrodes vinyl, you've been warned.

is it supposed to play at 33 or 45 RPM?

Received my copy today, sleeve and record all tip top.

The outer pvc sleeve of my copy is totally deformed. The vinyl is also slightly warped, but playable. Got it from the air website. Great album at all, but the quality of the physical release is disappointing.

Incredible pressing of a real surprise release.

The packaging is beautiful too but it’s a shame to have to keep the blue pvc sleeve away from my records for the next decade - it’s a smelly one too.
