Tiny Music... Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop

Really nice box set, great STP release.

I only really wanted this for the vinyl of the album. In the past STP vinyl has not been the best and also not cheap. I did get some of the Walmart coloured vinyls but had to return my copy of Purple as side 2 was unlistenable. As these were the same sort of price I decided to see what these 1lp 3cds were like.I'm happy to say that the vinyl sounds great and although the bonus material is nowhere near as good it's not scrapping the bottom of the barrel like some sets. The fact the extras are on cd means that at least the set does not take up too much room.The way it's done is just like having a very posh gatefold sleeve. You get a booklet with info about the recording photos from the time and the lyrics.I see that they are just about to release the Core set again this time all on vinyl with the main LP spread across 2discs so if you really have to have everything on vinyl you may want to wait to see if they do the same with this one.If it really is just the main LP that your after you really could do worse than this especially as it's been heavily discounted lately.
