It didn't seem to be a topic for this so...

I'm just very thrilled today because I have received my recently ordered brand new/sealed LP copy of The Breathtaking Blue! I'm stunned it was still available in this condition!

Had the two previous albums on vinyl since earlier, as well as many singles on the same format.

Oh btw, the camera sucks (only 1.3 mp) and the item looks much better in reality =)

Look good, and brand new 20 years later, that's amazing.

I will post some stuff later.

Lovely shiny and new, Breathtaking Blue.....lucky you!

TheMoonBoy · 01 Oct 2009, 18:38

Yep, and the price was only $9.99!
There are more sealed copies on eBay, although they all appear to have a price-cut saw-out, unfortunately. There are other nice un-sealed ones though.

I've been wanting to have this one for some time, and especially now when I have the Songlines Video!

The whole Breathtaking Blue concept is the inspiration for my upcoming short film so I was really happy to get this one at this time.

Congrats, TMB!
TBB as a vinyl is still one of the most beautiful covers ever to me - really special.
Will you keep it sealed or do you play it?

My plan was always to play it but that's not easily done now when I have it [tonque]
I feels as if I'm "spoiling it" in a way...

Great! Looks very very good. Have fun with it TMB ;-)

I´ll send a pic from my stuffs next week too...
I´m a bit curious about your reaction then.

If you don't plan to capitalize it ever and don't have another "normal" vinyl issue, you should play it!
Well-recorded vinyl like that can't be beaten by something else, believe me!

@TheMoonBoy: You can get a another copy from me if you want to play the LP and not open the sealed one...
