Vinyljustice 2.0

I usually use rubbing alcohol to remove stuff like that. Can be a little tricky since it’ll likely leave a cloudy residue depending on how much there it. I’m sure there are maybe more successful ways, though. But, honestly, I’d keep any picture discs out of those PVC sleeves if you can, because they can cause misting on the record (though I assume since it’s been so long, this has likely happened already). I have the Born This Way box set, and noticed it happening, and immediately put the discs in safer inner sleeves to keep inside the PVC ones.
Thanks for the tip! Should probably store them in safer inner sleeves. How did you do this for the Bad Romance and Paparazzi releases, where you'll have to tear the sticker in order to open the sleeve. :(

Oh, I don’t have these unfortunately! But I’d maybe recommend using a box cutter or an exacto knife to cut the sticker? It’ll minimize any damage done to it when opening. Unless keeping that intact is really important, you could possibly cut the side of the sleeve itself as well, but I’ve never done that myself, so I can’t say for sure if that’s a good method or not.

Vinyl8 just bounced my Nicki Minaj - Beam Me Up Scotty order.
And Amazon just delivered my latest order, a 5LP box set, in a clear plastic bag, with no other packaging or padding.

The $10 Mariah vinyls delivered today from UDiscover. "Me... I Am Mariah" is gorgeous but the artwork this blown up just shows how bad the photoshop was for this art direction.

And "Charmbracelet" wasn't a gatefold? Shame.
 
Hasn’t it always been this mix on vinyl? At least the first pressing. I think NFR has some production differences as well compared to the digital release.

I bought it last year and it doesn't have this mix sadly. Maybe a recent reissue is using the master they used for the initial pressings (that had this mix)? I've only ever assumed this happens when the artist wants to make changes to the mix after it's already been pressed (Solar Power and Crash are two other recent examples) but I'm not sure.

Same kinda thing for NFR, the first pressings had an alternate mix of Fuck It I Love You (I'm guessing they realized they wanted to tweak it after it had already been pressed) but not all of them. They do all have an extended outro after Hope Is a Dangerous Thing of Jack talking though.

I bought a black pressing this year too and it has the album mix. No extended beats intro.
