Mercury Rev's Yerself Is Steam is one of my favorite albums of the 1990s, and I'm a big fan of the 10" vinyl format, so I was excited to find this relic at Encore Recordings in Ann Arbor. I was curious to know how faithful this faux-vintage design is to actual Columbia Grafonola Symphony Series LPs of the early 20th century, and some googling took me to this page--I'd say this 1993 10" is a decent but perhaps not quite satisfying facsimile of the original?
