Does anyone have this one and have any opinions on the pressing?

環境音楽 = Kankyō Ongaku (Japanese Ambient, Environmental & New Age Music 1980 - 1990)

Get it. If not on vinyl, get the digital version. One of the best archival reissues to come out in recent years. Sound is absolutely fantastic on vinyl but I have the blue vinyl that others have noted is a little noisy. Not overly intrusive but I would go with the black. In addition to the other Japanese titles others have mentioned, I would 100% recommend LITA’s other New Age comp “I Am The Center”. Both of those comps got me through studying for my PE exam and relieving some stressful times while working from home.
 
Not sure where I want to discuss this, but does anyone have the new Shins Oh Inverted 20th Anniversary? Anyone care to share any insight? Just got it in today. Still an RTI pressing, cut by John Golden, same as a majority of Sub Pop stuff. It’s honestly crazy that you can get RTI pressed, mastered at Golden for $20 or so from them.

At any rate, I honestly can’t tell what’s different between the 20th and the previous versions other than the 20th is cut slightly quieter. It does sound great though. Always thought Oh Inverted and Chutes were great sounding records.

Glad it sounds good and still pressed at RTI. Was gonna pick up a copy tomorrow at some point.

I've got the Newbury 2019 and it's great. probably the same. It's Golden and RTI as week I think.

I actually ordered the comp on black vinyl last night. Looking forward to it. Thanks everyone for the responses...

“I Am the Center” is great, and I also really like LitA’s 3rd in the series, “The Microcosm: Visionary Music of Continental Europe, 1970-1986.” I have all three, and they’re all excellent, informative packages.

Deep discount has what I believe is the KG/Hoffman pressing of Blue:

I guess it's not surprising that popmarket also shows this as in stock. It would be really surprising if all of these were the 2007 pressing, so maybe the 2020 has been repressed? Amazon continues to list it as a 2007 release.
EDIT: Only just noticed that deep discount also lists this as the 2007 release. Weird.

In the Lifetime movie about KG's time kept in captivity - titled The Boom Boom Room - @MikeH will be played by Tommy Wiseau(or if he's not available...James Franco)
