Good work!

In case you haven't heard, it sounds like Music On Vinyl are also offering a green vinyl release of From The Inside this October:

Either that or the above mentioned version is not by Rhino (I note the price is different, but then that could reflect better packaging if it's a good replication of the original).

This site is indicating a Rhine version of FTI:

Has anyone checked out the new reissues and how do they compare to the originals?

Packaging wise, they are perfect replicas I’d say. From The Inside costs more than the others but includes the opening doors on the front, Inside and rear. It also has the nicest of the 3 discs colour-wise.

Thanks wind_up_toy, your comment makes me buying them

You’re welcome, I’ve now added images of these releases to my website (link below).

The From the Inside is not as colorful as the original but they did a good job.

Great, this is exactly what I was searching for! (I couldn't find pics of the discs themselves)
I didn't know about your website, thanks!
Beautiful, the FTI is even transluscent!

Yup, it's the best of this year's Rocktober batch. You will note though that Music On Vinyl have released their own version of From The Inside this month and I personally think that has the nicer disc. It's just a shame that they held back on the packaging as Rhino absolutely nailed it.

Take the packaging of Rhino and the vinyl from Music on vinyl and you've got the perfect match.

Right on!

From those photos it looks like Music on Vinyl did the better job with the front of the FTI sleeve - the doors meet in the middle (Rhino seems to have a gap) and the colour looks higher res and most like the original whereas the Rhino looks a bit washed out.

I have found that on the whole these releases have been excellent. TLT is brilliant and special forces is better than the original which if i remember was pressed in Germany and quite poor quality originally. welcome is also really good quality, the biggest disappointment was zipper. my first purchase had several jumps to I returned it to amazon and the replacement had just as many jumps. made me think twice about getting any more purchases.

I think the Rhino release is closer to the original in that gaps are present on all the original copies of FTI that I have. I do agree though that the MoV release is better as they have finally addressed this issue.
