Well I haven't been able to spin it yet but I'm super impressed with the new Elliott Smith debut album 2LP remaster package. This thing comes with, or basically IS, a 52 page hardcover book with page after glossy page of personal photos and stories from his friends and family. You can tell a lot of thought went into it and it's probably one of the best quality "box set books" I've come across. Now... hopefully the vinyl actually sounds good unlike pretty much every single Elliott Smith repress that currently exists.

Please let us know. I gave this one a hard pass but the book does look nice. If the sound quality is there, I might be nudged toward a purchase.
 
Okay so the mastering is really good for a comp album. But the pressing can be a bit poppy. It's worth it for sure since it's pretty cheap. But I wouldn't expect a super clean pressing. But mine just has pops, no crackle or fuzz. And it's tolerable. It's a fantastic album.
I'm a bit confused and have lost track of the relevant post. You're talking about the Elliott Smith comp? (which I don't think is what MikeH was referring to in his post that you replied to)

The Beatles jazz covers is the album I’m talking about

 
The Beatles jazz covers is the album I’m taking about

Ha, yeah, that's what I thought, but I also thought @Mather was going to come back with his thoughts about the Elliott Smith reissue, so I'm not sure what's going on. :unsure:

Psychedelic art, jazz covers of Beatles songs.

I should really link the IG of the visual artist who did the cover, he’s amazing!
