    I bought it at the concert in Amsterdam's Paradiso in 2022. I was offered both the black and picture disk version at the merch stand, and took the latter. Opening it at home and playing it (it's 45RPM) my jaw dropped to the ground. It looks gorgeous and sounds great. Great and typically hilarious tunes by the brothers.

      Bit of whoosing from the picture disc but sounds great otherwise.
      Some great songs and top quality inserts.

        Apart from some surface noise on side 1, which you cannot hear when the tunes come out. The record is really good. Never mind for a picture disc, it is good. Have heard plenty of new black vinyl a lot worse. The look of it is also stunning and the material has taken me by surprise. Again really good, even back in Sparks heyday some of these tunes would have held up.

          THIS SOUNDS GREAT! Someone must have finally improved the technology of pressing picture discs lately because some that have been released lately sound perfect. I was a bit hesitant purchasing this pressing but very happy I did grab it. Sound AND vision = great! Also helps it was pressed at 45rpm too
