Review by durtro Mar 22, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)

referencing How He Loved The Moon (Moonsongs For Jhonn Balance), 2xLP, Ltd, Red + 7", Pic, Ltd, mt093a

this is an incredibly beautiful package. and the reworkings of 'In Menstrual Night' that are being used as a tribute album to Jhonn Balance, reflect a hollow emptiness that these artists must have felt at the loss of their friend. 'In Menstrual Night' has always been a very favorite Current '93'album, and the reworking over four sides is hypnotic and truly industrial.

There was a Special Edition of this Deluxe Limited Edition. Limited to one (1) numbered copy, that was auctioned off on eBay (eBay auction number: 4748664752; start date: 15 July 2005; end date: 25 July 2005; end price: US $1,625.00). In addition to the normal contents of this Deluxe Edition, the "Charity Edition" included a handwritten manuscript in David Tibet's hand of the lyrics to "Moonbird For Jhonn", a photograph of Jhonn Balance, a photograph of David Tibet and Steven Stapleton, a one-sided card thanking all those involved in this charitable edition, and a hand-printed 4-page card (signed by David) featuring the text of the lyrics to "Moonbird for Jhonn" and this additional text:

"This is an edition of 1 numbered copy, signed by the author, inserted into the Beta-lactam Ring wooden-box auction edition of 'How He Loved The Moon'. Also included is a holograph manuscript of the 'Moonbird' text in the hand of someone who when he wrote it was David Tibet. All monies from the auction of this item will go to the John Bradburne Memorial Society for their work to the Mutemwa Leprosy Mission in Zimbabwe. My thanks to whoever bought this for their kindness and charity."
