Credits for the Blu-ray edition reference the song "The Rabbi," which is not present on this edition. -

En cuanto a su presentacion estetica y la calidad de sonido es tal cual a las ediciones importadas. Incluso tiene el detalle de que el interior del carton es de color rojo.
En cuanto a lo sonoro noto que a veces la voz de Damon satura un poco, pero no es algo que moleste (mucho), quitando eso vale la pena teniendo en cuenta que esta reedicion salio solo un año despues de su lanzamiento original en Reino Unido.
No se que onda con La Nacion que a veces les pinta sacar disco con no mas de dos años de antiguedad (como paso con Future Nostalgia), abra que aprovecharse no queda de otra jaja. -
It came completely irregular. Its impossible to listen. looks like something was pressing against the vinyl. I will have to bought it again.
-
Sounds good, but my “orange” is red… anyone else’s the same?
-
Okay, I bought it on release and got this blue pressing. Funnily enough just over a year later i don’t any of the songs from it. Just like The Magic Whip in 2015 nothing jumped out at me. I’ve been into Blur since 1995 and these albums seem to have glided over me. The new live album is pretty good though. Very lively and energetic. Nice trawl though the back catalog and great guitar work by Graham Coxon. -

el disco esta buenisimo, no lo habia escuchado. El vinilo me vino impecable,muy limpio,sin fritura.El arte esta excelente, respetando todos los detalles de las ediciones de afuera.Lo único a detallar es que mientras más se acerca a las últimas canciones de cada lado distorsiona un poco la voz de Damon, pero sinceramente no molesta porque es blur, es Damon, tranquilamente podría ser un efecto jajaj Lo importante es que sale 20 dolares en un kiosco de diarios. Aguante la musica! -
Beautiful color, great press with no audible surface noise, great album too! My copy came with both the promo poster and keychain that independent record stores gave out with copies when the album dropped :) -
I bought straight from Blur website...After one year from the release it's still available for 37£.
Scalpers go sleep and find a serious job ;)

I find it curious that they used the same cover photo as this techno release: https://discogs.cinepelis.org/release/29707102-Ori-Lichtik-Joy-Stock
