I've recently started collecting vinyl records, but I'm trying to limit my purchases to special editions or rare records since they take up
so much space. I was lucky enough to find a brand-new copy of Moi dix Mois' Dixanadu + Lamentful Miss LP, so I immediately snapped it up since it can be hard to find in new condition. This LP is a Europe-only release that was limited to 499 copies and includes a 29-page booklet and poster. There's very little information about this release on the internet and many people don't even know it exists, so I wanted to share some photos.

The booklet features lyrics for the songs on Dixanadu and Lamentful Miss as well as lots of photos on glossy paper. 90% of the photos are of Mana, naturally. I'll share a few of my favourite photos and songs.
 |
| Perish is one of my favourite M10M songs of all time. I really love this moody photo of Mana. |
 |
| Angelica, featuring homicidal Mana. |
 |
| Last Temptation. |
I was really happy to see that the actual record sleeves had artwork, too! The back sides feature the Moi dix Mois logo in blue and in grey, respectively. The only thing that would have made this better is coloured vinyl - maybe royal blue or a black/blue splatter?

| Sadly, the vinyl records themselves are plain black. Oh well, can't ask for too much... |
Lastly, they included a gigantic Dixanadu poster. It's so huge that I had to put it on the floor to take a photo of it! Sadly, it's a little fragile along the folds since it's been packed tightly in the record sleeve for 12+ years. I'd like to get it framed someday.
 |
| Seriously, where am I supposed to hang this? |
And that's pretty much it! All in all, I'm very happy with this addition to my collection. I can't wait to listen to it. I'll try to make a video recording so that you guys can listen to it too. Thank you for reading, and hope to see you again soon!
