Does anyone know about this? I just received my copy since I've been trying to hunt down the Rio deluxe vinyl from a few years ago at a reasonable price with no luck. So when I saw this come up all over ebay, it seemed to fit the bill. However, it had no real description of what it really was. Most of the postings didn't say anything about what you get, other than it was a double LP. Finally found one ebay posting that had better pictures and it looked promising. However, I have to say I am slightly disappointed overall. The cardboard for the outer sleeve is a little thin. And there is no inner sleeve either--it's two loose double sided sheets: one is a reproduction of the original inner sleeve with the band photo on one side and the lyrics on the other. And the other sheet is the photo contact sheet of the band shoot on one side, and the other is a graphic with the band in individual headshots. The records are just in clear vinyl sleeves. I guess I got spoiled by the other vinyl re-issues that I have that have a nice heavy inner sleeve and the outer sleeve also feels substantial. The artwork itself of the album cover is pretty good quality, although as you can see in the photos in the listing that the artwork is oddly shrunken a good 10% so there is more purple/red color all around. Not terrible just odd. My guess is that they must have scanned the original printed record, and they needed to shrink it a bit to get the resolution high enough to print well. I still have not listened to the records so I don't know the quality of the sound, but I imagine it's just a straight lift from the deluxe vinyl from a few years ago. Ultimately I am glad I got it. Here's the ebay listing with the best photosBut there are plenty of other sellers although they are all at roughly the same price.

As far as I know it’s done by the same label that did the Argentina re release of the Notirious Album a couple of years ago. Plaza Independencia Música www.discogs.com/label/521759-Plaza-Independencia-Músicahttps://www.discogs.com/label/521759-Plaza-Independencia-Músicathe link takes you to the Discogs page fir the label.

Interesting! Thanks for the info, skintrade!
I'm actually waiting on a Notorious deluxe vinyl that I ordered from Merchbar earlier this summer. It's been on back order and keeps getting pushed back. Although their description clearly states it's from Parlaphone.

Although their description clearly states it's from Parlaphone. The Discogs page for their Notorious release does say parlaphone www.discogs.com/release/24199610-Duran-Duran-NotoriousIm guessing it was released under licence and that the Rio album is also. Im currently waiting for the Rio album to turn up. So I’ll be able to compare the quality when it arrives.

i don't care about any of the other issues, and i won't ever play it. so it really doesnt matter about the quality.
