    Unless you just want something on colored vinyl, the 20th anniversary pressing looks to be the better one to track down. Its $10 cheaper (new on discogs), cut by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI. No brainer IMO.

    This one says it’s newly mastered, and the lacquers were cut by Levi Seitz.  Not sure how different it will really sound though.

    I had in my cart and decided not to get it. I already have the MOV audiophile pressing that I am really happy with.

    After the buying frenzy that got me four different variants of EV Earthling I am trying really hard to resist.

    Don't know why you'd buy this reissue when the Kevin Gray cut reissue by MOV is still available for $30ish. Levi usually does a good job so I'm sure this will sound good, but to choose a colored variant over a great KPG cut is odd.

    Who all got the 250?

    I already have two copies.  An OP and the first reissue.   The 10c version looks cool, but I dont really need a 3rd copy.

    I was kind of hoping to see a bluray of live at the moore.  Theres a tv encode out there thats in HD.  It must of been out to film rather than videotape.  A bluray or digital HD release would be amazing.

    I did. I love the Mad Season album so damn much (and all things McCready for that matter), so this was an easy yes for me. Skipping the EV RSD releases though to make up for it. 😄

    I had an OP, got the KPG 2015 reissue of the 2013 RSD release. Blows away the OP.  I sold it because I could not fathom holding onto a record that people were willing to pay $300-$400 for simply because it was a first press.  The only thing I regretted, the artwork on the reissue was always B-.  That is why I grabbed this, for the original artwork and what appears to be some new stuff in the booklet.  I like Levi's work, so if it sounds good bonus.  What I can't tell for sure yet is whether the original running order is restored on this new reissue.  That would be a nice thing for people with audio OCD.
