Great way to finally get both of these albums on vinyl. As apotos mentioned, this is not a gatefold but both They Wayward Bus and Distant Plastic Trees albums packaged together, yet individually. The pressings are nice and quiet, and the mastering is fantastic. Recommended.

is Plant White Roses included in this reissue? It would be a big mistake if not.
Hadadel
No, it's not. However, it was never on the CD compilation released in `94, either. Which was how many of us first heard these albums. In fact, I wasn't even aware of the song until your comment (so, thank you for that). I wouldn't call it a deal breaker. Though it would have been nice tucked away in a digital download, at least.

I thought this was a gatefold until I opened it, but it's actually two individual sleeves
