happy days.
delighted to receive my copy of this excellent, if unsual, package. details and pics below, or if you just want the photos,
here's my album for this release.
View media item 26861
the question many will be asking is, how big is this? well, it's definitely over 12" tall, as it doesn't fit vertically in my vinyl shelves. i know some in the thread above didn't like the format, and i get that, but maybe an
oversized edition is the most appropriate thing for Gojira himself.
the
front and especially
back artwork, especially once unsealed, are lovely and go well with the release
:
the interior or the book - hard bound - is super-bright and colourful, with large eye-catching artwork, different styles for each page, and creds and information for each disc contents. click the spoiler for
pics of the inside :
the
rear gatefold - same image as the front - is where the discs are stored, sometimes just one film per disc, as for the original, sometimes up to 3 films per disc. the undersides of the disc slots are glossed, which makes getting them out easier and helps prevents against disc scratches and paper tears. these inserts are fairly robust, and should stand up to careful use.
shots of the disc gatefold under the spoiler:
the films look amazing, with high quality restoration. the films themselves range from the sort-of-sublime to the ridiculous, but then that always going to be the case with men in monster suits attacking each other. it
is still pricey, but i think this will become one of my favourite sets.
