Interesting release as now we have the full show, minus A Night On Bald Mountain and God Bless America. This seems very long over one lp. Please report back Mestreech and tell us how the sound is.

I'm also very interested in seeing the album cover.

Ah I just noticed the missing two tracks are on a 7 inch single!

[Babysquid]

I’ll definitely be getting that

Ah I just noticed the missing two tracks are on a 7 inch single!

I guess they will be edited quite a bit to fit on a 7 inch

I looked on amazon and the BDB lp was selling for £50. I decided not to bother but I was in Glasgow today and mono records had it for £22. I'm really glad I decided against getting it from Amazon. I have to say that the packaging is a bit sparse, not a patch on last year's 'live from the astroturf'. The sound quality is superb however.

Amazon aren't classed as an independent record shop and so can't get RSD releases themselves.
What you see on there are regular people or record stores reselling copies they have to make extra profit. That`s why they will always cost more on Amazon.
What I discovered this year is that RSD rules seem to say that independent stores are allowed to sell online from 7AM the following day (but not before) IF they have stock left over from the Friday RSD.
This is how I got mine as there aren't any easily accessible stores near me. I grabbed one the following morning for normal price. By then they were already over £50 on ebay!
Not sure if this is a new thing as of this year, but I hope they continue it.

Oh and yes Astroturf was a work of art and love by Chris Penn and co.
This is just a recorded store day cash in by a record company.

Great album.
Interestingly, "Limited to 6000" but none of them are numbered, so how can we be sure exactly how many are actually out there?

Got mine for £22 from eBay.
Was sealed and in perfect nick - plays beautifully.
