Label covers the run out groove so if you’re slow the stylus skates on to the label creating horrible noise and possible damage

Christ! I bought my NM OG first press about five years ago for £20 right here. Shocked to see prices now.
Mine has a gold foil lettered ‘promo’ stamp o the back of the sleeve.
A landmark and wonderful album in any genre.

I couldn't disagree more with the below. To each his own I guess. You can listen and decide for yourself. This is one of my top 3 Lps out of a 1000 that I own. Great to meditate to at the end of the day and be reminded that just experiencing beautiful sound makes life good. RIP Harold Budd (Dec. 8, 2020). Budd's White Arcades has a similar piano approach and is a gem.

It's my least favourite of the ambient series, but that isn't to say it isn't a solid album that very much fits into the series overall. It certainly is worth multiple listens and something new is revealed with each listen. But I do at times find the piano kind of takes me out of Eno's original goal of having his ambient music be less interfering with the environment and more augmentative. In fact, Ambient #2 might be the most "foreground" Ambient album out of a series that is meant more for background music.

The best of the Ambient series, always sounds like a scenic drive near a mountain lake on a spring day to me. Crisp and echoey production, just gorgeous.

Does anyone know if this is getting a repress? If so, when? Strange how they just re-issued ambient 1 and 4

The spine reads "Brian Eno" credit only. No Harold Budd credit.
