I have Relics. It's fantastic! It's not all Transmat though
(technically). There is a BFC track on there which is Fragile. I have
the vinyl and it comes in a beautiful sleeve painted by the same guy who
did the cover to Philosophy of Sound and Machine. Third Earth did it,
whoever that is.
The quality is fine. Buzz tends to do great pressings. It is a full
length on vinyl so the level is a bit lower than a normal 12", but that's
standard procedure to fit more music on a single record. The levels
aren't as low as something say like the Telstar compilations (in
comparison the Telstar stuff tends to be extremely quiet...)
Even though I have almost all of the singles from Relics, I still love
having the textured packaging. It's a nice peice.
