Notes
The only way to distinguish this from the previous green standard-jacket version is the runout (which is longer, see below) and booklet. On the final page of the booklet, the paragraph starts with "This pressing of Mother Earth's Plantasia is taken from the original master tapes, recorded by Mort Garson in 1976 and thought to be lost for more than 40 years".
Hype sticker reads, in all caps:
The first authorized reissue of Mort Garson's legendary 1976 album of Moog music for plants. Includes the original Mother Earth's indoor plant care booklet
Includes digital on real seed-paper card. Plant it and watch it sprout!

"SBR-3030" on front cover bottom right, spine, and labels. "SBR3030" on back cover.
Includes Mother Earth's Indoor Plant Care Booklet by Lynn & Joel Rapp, and card embedded with wildflower seeds. This reads: "Plant under a thin layer of soil and water daily until the seedlings are well-established."

A blooming brilliant pressing! All the plants on my windowsill lean back into the room towards my speakers whenever I play this one. Astonishing! -
Edited one year agoThe opening track has a lot of background noise and its unpleasant to start a record that way, at least it becomes silent by the end of it. It is not audiophile but I love owning this on vinyl. Beautiful colors too. -
This is the only version I have of this album so I can't compare it to any other, but I'm happy with this one. Coloured vinyl isn't my thing, but this one looks cool! I really like the booklet and code card is a nice touch, although better anti-static inner sleeves would be appreciated. My copy is a bit noisy (something I expected when I saw "made in Czech Republic" sticker), although I cleaned it once and it already sounds better, I assume few rounds of cleaning and spinning will eliminate most of the dirt, but I have to say that, with reading how this record was made and how master tapes were found, few pops and a bit of surface noise suit the whole story of this masterpiece, it adds to the vibe of a cult classic that was basically unknown for majority of its existence.
