carey jeggs 28th Oct 2020		I have the original double LP which I bought when it was first released.In spite of all that cardboard there isn't a list of the tracks in the right order anywhere on the sleeve.However,the opened-out picture of Ike is about two thirds life size.
RogerFoster 5th Aug 2020		Oops PhilMH … now corrected. The demons that inhabit my laptop have a habit of mixing up things I've copied and pasted and I really should have checked earlier. Funnily, I've just been out to do a bit of shopping and in the store they were playing "Oops" (aka "Hit Em Up Style") by Blu Cantrell. Maybe the gods were trying to tell me something.
PhilMH 5th Aug 2020		Roger, your link is linking this disc to itself!
RogerFoster 5th Aug 2020		You might be waiting a long time for any full set Mr Marmalade. I'd been holding off loading this for a while as I wasn't certain what it would be practical to take images of, a YouTube video of someone attempting to "solve the puzzle" might be more appropriate!! In the meantime, those who are interested in seeing the full fold-out effect can see it at the linked entry for the original US release where Rustical did the honours (or should that be "honors") some time back. It has occurred to me that a better packaging concept would have been to have a paper/card insert that mimicked the original fold-out sleeve for those who wanted to know what the 1971 LP looked like, with the whole thing (2 CDs, 1 booklet and fiddly insert) inside one of those "Clam Shell" covers so that nervous types (such as myself) could open it without worrying that the whole thing will fall apart. It wouldn't surprise me if some Japanese issue has already done that.
Magic Marmalade 5th Aug 2020		So we can expect to see a full set of scans for this fold out extravaganza? :) ...Actually, I have the original UK vinyl of this, with huge cruciform sleeve, found at a bootfair some time back, but sadly lacking the second disc :( ...So not actually played it as yet! It does however, seem obvious that they would issue this on CD in the fold out packaging, as I think it's one of those semi-legendary sleeves... just odd, if anything, that they had not done so prior to this issue! (I bet there's a Japanese issue that has though!) I bet you'll come to love it though Roger, once the shock of getting more than you bargained for has worn off... future collectible ?
RogerFoster 5th Aug 2020		Review Those 45Worlders who have read previous reviews of mine may have seen the one I posted on this 2006 Supremes release where I suggested that it would be a candidate for the award for worst packaging of the year. This release would be top of my list for the 2009 award winner. A few weeks back, in an attempt to dispel the lockdown blues, I decided to spruce up my collection of Isaac Hayes CDs. Having not previously owned a CD that had this 1971 masterpiece in its entirety I purchased this version. The package arrived and I started to remove the shrink-wrap so that I could play my new acquisition. What happened next was something like what happened in that episode of "The Big Bang Theory" where Sheldon Cooper opens up a "boxed" Mr. Spock toy … the whole package seemed to disintegrate into a bewildering array of flaps and hidden compartments. It seems that this is how the original LP was packaged, with flaps opening out to form a cross shaped poster-sized image of Mr. Hayes!! The booklet notes do point out that this is the first CD reissue to mimic the original packaging … maybe the producers of this reissue should have considered that there might have been a reason for this ... just because something might be appropriate for a 12" format doesn't mean that it should be miniaturised!! For the next few minutes I gingerly tried to explore the various flaps and compartments to see if I could find the CDs and booklet. Eventually I succeeded but, not being a skilled surgeon, I did manage to slightly tear part of the package when attempting to prise one of the CDs out of its cubby-hole. Then, after finding everything and listening to it, there came the challenge of trying to put it all back together again … what goes where? …. which flap folds over which flap? … where is the front? … where is the back? The whole thing reminds me of one of those "wooden-puzzles" that were all the rage in the '80s and '90s and I keep asking myself … Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? If this is the state that the music business sank to it's no surprise that Mr Hayes gave up his career to become a chef on "South Park" is it!! The music, of course, is great for those (like me) who like plodding, orchestrated, well sung, early-'70s Soul … but then you knew that already didn't you. 5 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
