Let’s gooo. This is my fave of hers, this is exciting.
 
Obi are just an aesthetic thing like colored vinyl. They are kinda fun but I wouldn’t necessarily pay a bunch more for an album with an obi-strip.

That being said, if I buy an album that is missing an obi-strip that once had one, It would feel incomplete and that feeling would remain every time I pulled the album off my shelf. I would feel similarly if I had an album missing liner notes or a printed inner sleeve as well.

Whereas to me it’s more like shrink or a sticker on the shrink. Rip it off and bin it, meaningless advertising. As such the cheaper no obi ones on the Japanese sites are my happy place!
 
Re OBI strips - I don't particularly seek them out, but their presence in good condition on a japanese record gives me added confidence that the record was well taken care of and that the grading is accurate. I’m not sure how scientific that is though. But I have my limits if it jacks up the price a lot.

Pretty much what I was going to say. If they are there, great and I will pay a few bucks more but not searching them out.
 
Yeah, the Rhino Television is something else, I have the 2018 Rocktober cut which sounds really fantastic but this is pulling out some instrumentation that was a bit lost in the mud before. I am so used to other cuts it’s gonna take some time to get used to this. I think I prefer the Rhino cut but I not sure yet. I will need to spin it a few more times to take it all in.
 
I actually agree with Fremer all this audiophile stuff is ruining music. I jest a little. I like mud to be mud if that is what was intended 9except for Exile on Main Street because otherwise I wouldn't be a music junkie who is overopiniated. There has to be some hypocrisy.)
