Hah, funny seeing this here. I have never been able to get into this album no matter how "prepared" I get for it. The vinyl reissues of it are real pretty though so maybe one of these days I'll buy it and try again :)
Unfortunately, coloured vinyl/picture discs sound pretty awful and degrade much more quickly. A novelty item only.
Although tbf unless you're a DJ any vinyl record is sort of a novelty item.
