so glad to finally have this amazing album on vinyl 🥹 sounds great and completely flat (which i’d hope so considering i paid 80 bucks for it…)

This is available again on blonded.co! Make sure to check out here before you buy here.
Uraniine Feb 13, 2025
There's nothing special about this pressing. There should be no reason that the retail for this is nearly $70. Thankfully I got my official pressing for free in a giveaway.
devinmakoto Jan 7, 2025
still can’t believe i have an official pressing of blond….
