After financial issues made me cancel my pre-order for the vinyl of this album a couple times, I FINALLY got it today, and let me tell you -- it looks as good as it sounds. The jacket is very glossy, it's a gatefold and there's really not much to it, but the vinyl is very heavy and looks like a dream. I took some pictures of it, and I was able to remove the shrink wrap without destroying it, so I can put it back on before I put my special plastic sleeve over it for double the protection.
