Packaging etc. all look to be very decent quality indeed.

Not going to open the last three yet, need to give them a listen on streaming first but possibly open to swapping these three.

Comes with a proper anti-static inner sleeve which is a surprising nice touch.

The magazine and the LPs were all of the very highest quality, the included booklet giving background to the recording and some candid (to me anyway) photographs were lovely. Kind of Blue came with a lovely poster which I stored away safely somewhere.


It seems the magazine failed on terrible distribution (very hard to get copies!) and marketing. It seems their customer service was almost non existent too.
