Lady Gaga – The Fame Monster

This is the faded appearance of the European version, and the European version has never had a silver version.

this needs to be reissued as well, not exactly this but 3lp with both the fame and fame monster on it
best way to have these two

Ultimately got this picture disc as it is the only way to get this masterpiece on vinyl for a decent price. Was kinda nervous as it was my first picture disc ever but it sounds really good ! There’s definitely surface noise between tracks and a couple of pops but nothing distracting from the music, some actual vinyl records sound worse than this picture disc does tbh. Mastering is great, although somewhat unbalanced : the highs are a bit behind, need to EQ the treble on my amp. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase !

Collector's Edition Art Book sold exclusively through Lady Gaga's online stores in the US and UK. Limited edition of 10,000 copies, each is individually numbered on the back. Disc playing sides are black.

just read this note which is not true, I bought mine at a Best Buy (the tag is still up in the shrink wrap, it was $89.99 back in the day) I I went BROKE on that trip just because of this box lol.

Thank G-d I did :)

Beware, many sellers are incorrectly selling the 2024 repress as the original release.

Reviewing every record in my collection:

Cool looking boxset, but not much more than that.

This boxset is really gorgeous; The outer box, outer sleeves and colored vinyls all look great, but are of really cheap quality. The outer box is already damaged on top just because of puting it in and out of the shelf and there's no proper inner sleeves for the vinyls, just plain white paper sleeves (Which makes me wonder, if they made an insert for The Fame Monster, why didn't they just made it an inner sleeve or gatefold) but all in all, for the price this released for back in 2020 (40$) it's more than serviceable, you can't ask much more for it since its a really budget pressing and it shows

Now, how does it sound? Very divisive. The Fame sounds AMAZING, and I mean it, deep bass, nice mids and really cool highs, a 10/10 pressing. But the main reason for which most people will want this release is the regular pressing of the The Fame Monster EP, which, quite Honestly sounds like a really, mid digital release pressed onto a vinyl. Yes, it's dead silent which maybe the Picture Disc isn't (I don't own it myself) but the sound is really muffled and compressed, I think the best description for it is that it sounds like a bad 70s vinyl, where they would just press a cassette tape onto a vinyl.

When this was released, this was definitely a great deal, but now that it has sky rocketed in price it's not worth the money it goes for at all. If you are really looking for a good sounding pressing of this albums, just buy a regular The Fame pressing and the TFM Picture Disc.

I am looking for a copy. I am willing to pay a lot of money for it. Feel free to me for offers & more.

Just received a copy today. Noticed suspicious mark in the grooves of Speechless and again on the back in Teeth. It looked like a small dint in Speechless and possibly something jammed in between the grooves in Teeth. Started playing, lots of pops and clicks then many pops during Alejandro as though this thing spent the day at the beach picking up sand before it got to me. When it reach Speechless and reached the apparent dint, it actually went into a loop. So, it sealed its fate to be returned.

Listening to the B side as I write this. More occasional pops. Wondering what's going to happen when it reaches the obvious issue with Teeth.

The barcode is completely faded... I think this literally spent the day at the beach yesterday before coming to me.

Apart from these physical issues, it sounds ok. I can barely hear the usual picture disc background noise.

Have to it it sounds good for picture LP but still I'm not 100% happy because it's a clean version. Censored versions of albums shouldn't exist.

just got a new one
fantastic Sound - best picture disc I own😍
