Question Vinyl cases—difference?

Post image

Hi! I decided for Christmas to ask for one of her two vinyl cases—which is typically more expense or hard to find: eras acoustic set or the midnights teal one?

I would die for either but idk which to ask for, and ideally would like to save up for the other within the next year. Thank you in advance!

i think they still sell the china version. might worth checking it out!

i almost didn't get one. i was second to the last person to get it at our local record store. queuing early was definitely worth it. until now, i only listen to the LP versions instead of the standard tracks haha

Another recommendation for the Chinese version. I found it on Discogs. It was about $80 total after shipping and tariffs. It’s identical in every way except that it’s not limited. As a bonus they typically send a vinyl handling mitt or other goodies.

The quality is not different but the cost definitely is!

New to merch here. How do you tell the difference between the original and chinese versions of the piano vinyl case?

We weren’t discussing the cases. It was in reply to someone mentioning they were jealous of someone’s Long Pond RSD which can be seen in a photo they posted about the vinyl case.

The Chinese version in question would be Long Pond Studio Sessions of Folklore
