but homonyms trip me up every time.
742 got a new Bob Dylan album and says:
“So last night my fist impressions of the record quality was it's just a common new record putout in mass. Some are complaining that it wasn't treated like some $80-$100 reissue Audiophile record with no holds bar and all the steps in pressing and packaging.
This is not a record like that, I haven't seen many "New" titles on vinyl that are. The packaging leaves a lot to be desired though.
The inner sleeves are thin hard paper, would have rather seen better inner sleeves even plain polly. They could have put the artwork on inserts instead of making sleeves with it.
The cover is a gate fold but is made of thin paper stock, similar to a 80s flimsy non gatefold. It is one piece thin paper cover, then folded at the top seem and glued to a tab folds at the bottom seem. Then this hole cover is folded in the middle to make a gatefold.
Below you can see the bottom seem glue joints. But also look how doing a gatefold this way makes the cover buckle and deform.

I buy lots of new records, but also quality ones, I'v never seen a gatefold made this crappy. Just not the way to put out a good gatefold on a new title. Remember back in the day, the artist records came out with better packaging when it was new, then when reissues came out years down the road the packaging got cheap. This record already has no where to go down hill. In fact I would say, if they where going to put a gatefold out like this it would have been better as a single sleeve that holds two records and skip the gatefold.
BTW, I'll also add, none of the labels are the same color, the very in shade levels from side to side and disc to disc”
