This is exactly how the original came.

These reissues have been fairly unimpressive.

I'm not interested in these kind of things but I think sticking with a true reissue of the original packaging is a good move.

Definitely. I wonder why they changed just the Ten cover?

I'm much happier with a $25 reissue of the original packaging than an overstuffed $80 collectors version

yeah b, it's a good thing ffs. i believe they changed the ten cover because that's how they originally intended it to look. apparently it wasn't supposed to be that pinkish colour.

yeah, i don't remember the deets but i remember jeff mentioning it in an interview around the time of the reissue.

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when they opened up the first box of albums from the record label, all excited, giving high fives.... aaaaand the cover is pink

From what I can recall of that interview the reddy/pinkish colour was a mess up with the pressing plant and the band had the option of getting it redone with the intended sepia colour but it was going to push the release date back maybe 6 months into the next record company cycle and the band already had tours booked so they just lived with it.

[Ament]: "There was a bit of headbutting going on with the Sony art department at that time. The version that everybody got to know as the Ten album cover was pink and it was originally intended to be more of a burgundy colour and the picture of the band was supposed to be black and white. I felt this reissue was an opportunity to go back and finish what we started."

I didn't need them to redesign the packaging for the reissues, but it would have been nice if they'd offered something that wasn't already available. Given the ho hum reception for remastered version of No Code, something like the boxed sets with b-sides and outtakes and some cool collectible stuff would have been nice.

Yeah, adding a few tunes would be cool.

Or, actually remastering them well
