I've been buying all of these, both original and demo versions, on vinyl. I really love that these are getting staggered out, and have also enjoyed revisiting the albums I've loved and hearing them in good quality demos.
A couple things though. The first few releases came with download cards, which I appreciated for demos since I don't care to also purchase CDs. But they seem to have stopped around the release of Is This Desire?

And the White Chalk LP is really unusual as it's the first album to be pressed as 45RPM. It's not noted on packaging, so I was taken aback.

One final (personal) observation. I never much cared for White Chalk, and this release won't change that. But the Demo album is quite the revelation for me. I saw PJ pm this tour and was amazed at how much I loved the songs stage, but never could warm up to the album. The Demo release brings me back to that show and my love for the songs but not the recordings..
