I was hoping that spread from the RUSH PV would make it into the jacket and i'm glad that it did, now I want to know what the liner insert looks like.

I changed the title on the other thread to avoid future confusion. (I always planned to when this got announced for real.) Little Busters & PML are still in-stock, so it's not too late for anybody to pick these up.

I wonder when those things are gonna sell out. They are supposed to be "limited editions".

I don't think we have any way of knowing how many they've actaully sold. I've seen them making the rounds second hand on Discogs on Yahoo JP but who knows. Could either be a really high "limited" edition number, or a low number of sales.

"Limited" could also just mean "once we stop selling these they're done." i.e we're not going to re-issue these ever again on vinyl.

Gotta be this. liiiiiiiiiiike "we'll stop pressing them once it's no longer profitable for us" :suspicious: Also the lack of a quantity figure (like limited to 1000 or something) + the fact that they've been in stock for this long surely means they're gonna keep pressing more copies for a while. I'm glad that Busters all over the world have ample opportunities to score a copy.

There’s also the fact that they are being sold exclusively from the one site/live venues. Analog is also a fairly niche market in Japan, so casual fans probably aren’t buying these. It could be a pretty low run, but “limited edition” could mean anything without having a number. Lostman and Busters have still only been available for 5 months, as well. It’s a pretty short amount of time to run out of stock.

Are the PML/LB ones "sold out" yet?

Asked in the Discord but figured I'd crosspost since there was some discussion here regarding the art quality of the last jackets...any better this go round?

It looks just as good/bad as the Lostman and Busters jackets to me. Personally, I don't really care if the covers aren't super hi-def. I'm not buying these to hang on the wall. Mafu ain't no hipster.

Here's the dynamic range;
[url=http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/147527]RUNNERS HIGH[/url] (Dynamic range score of 10. CD has 5.)
[url=http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/147528]HAPPY BIVOUAC[/url] (Dynamic range score of 10. CD has 5.)

Couple pictures of 'em on the turntable:

RUNNERS HIGH has different pictures of the bear/ferret/polar bear on each side of the record:

RUNNERS HIGH insert in front of the gatefold. The other side has lyrics:

Also, here's a [url=https://i.imgur.com/ZV1JeJf.jpg?1]picture that kinda gives an idea about how they are shipped[/url] from King E-shop. They ship in a vinyl-ish sized cardboard box and are packed with thick-ish packing paper. Not sure how forwarding services operate and if they reinforce the packages for overseas shipping or not.
