Yet another Crocodiles re-issue

Just about a few weeks after buying Crocs for the 3rd time on vinyl (RSD red LP), now this looks obviously the ultimate one to own.
Damned.

Thing about that album is that the original recording is lo-fi, not particularly good - typical of the late 70s and early 80s. Sticking it on double 180 gm vinyl isn't going to do that much to the sound quality over the original vinyl pressing or on CD (remember the digital remaster from a few years back, louder but not much else different). HUH or Porcupine could do with being given the double vinyl treatment though. Keep your money in your pockets, or hands down your trousers if that is what you prefer.

Actually, now that I have bothered to read the link it seems to be the 2003 expanded & remastered version on vinyl. Costs 33 quid too, whereas the CD is just a fiver in all good online record shops.

Already pre-ordered I'm afraid, along with the orange one which will look magnificent next to my lovely, red, shiny RSD 12 incher.
