Notes
Many vinyl releases have a 6:00 edited version of 2/2, but the 1987 reissue is 9:38.
While most copies bear 1978 ℗ & © dates, all available evidence suggests it was not released until 1979 (March '79 in the UK, and later in other regions).

Reviews
- I just added this to my collection and I couldn't be happier. I already had a '82 US Editions EG pressing in NM condition that sounds really nice, but this 45 rpm cut takes it to a whole new level ! Intoxicating and soporific soundscapes... luxurious space between the grooves just completely opens this up and let's it bloom . I can totally bliss out to this and it doesn't bother me to flip the LPs ... C'mon, if you want to fall asleep to this then play the freaking CD! Each track gets its own well deserved slab of real estate and I'd venture to assume THIS never sounded better. Plus the last track 2/2 is the complete version!
- Edited one month agoCleaned my copy on arrival as it was covered in paper dust. Some popping still remains. A fairly noticeable hiss on 1/1. Putting a high cut at 8kHz helps, but negatively impacts the rest of the album.
- After literally searching for years, I finally found it in a record store. Wow. Just wow. I’m so happy to have this in my collection. Sounds frigging phenomenal.
- Sublime sounding record. On par with early klause Schulze for ambience and atmosphere. If you can find a clean copy on this pvc pressing, scoop it up
- Beaucoup de "fans" se posent la question au sujet de la date de publication effective de "Music for Airports".
Beaucoup ont retenu la date 1978 (certains "mars 1978"), probablement à cause de la date inscrite sur l'étiquette centrale du vinyl et sur la pochette de l’album.
Comme certains, lors de l'annonce de la publication de cet album, je me suis précipité chez mon disquaire préféré pour y acheter la 1ere version anglaise du vinyl, dont la pochette intérieure contient un texte de l'ami Brian daté de "septembre 1978". Et ce n'est pas tout, la matrice du vinyl portait un numéro attribué à la série "obscure" (OBS-11)... rayé et remplacé par la mention "AMB-001"...
Le magazine "Enovations" de l'automne 1978 édité par le Fan Club de Brian Eno précise:
Gary Parsons, dans son livre "Decades - Brian Eno in the 1970s" publié aux Editions SonicBond Publishing en septembre 2022 évoque la date de publication de l’album, pour retenir au final "mars 1979"... et je pense qu'il n'est pas loin de la vérité. D'abord il a fait pas mal de recherches dans la presse spécialisée (et aucune n'a évoqué l'album avant 1979), ensuite la publication du dernier album de la série "Obscure" (Harold Budd « The Pavilion of Dreams » - OBS-10) a eu lieu fin 1978.
Même la presse musicale japonaise (branchée Brian Eno depuis le début de sa carrière…) n'a pas évoqué l'album avant mai 1979... (cf le magazine « Rock Magazine », créé à l’initiative de Yuzuru Agi, dont le N° 1 remonte à 1976, et dont les publications ne cessent d’évoquer largement Brian Eno. L’ensemble de ces publications a d’ailleurs été repris dans l’édition du livre « AGI 2/ENO » aux Editions Kyou Records en juin 2022 à l’occasion de l’exposition « Ambient Tokyo »).
En conclusion, l'album « Music for Airports » a bien été publié en 1979... et non 1978 !
Pour confirmer la date de publication retenue par Master Release. - Can’t share the negative reviews voiced by many listeners here. My sealed copy was clean, with only very minor, short period of background noise on 2/2. No warping or major popping noises that were reported by some. Very happy overall.
- Edited one year agoReally fantastic pressing of this masterpiece of an album. My copy sounds absolutely outstanding with extremely low noise. Lush, clear and organic as can be. I honestly don't see any particular reason to upgrade from this version to the half speed remaster or any other remasters, especially if you already own it.
- Worst quality pressing of any re-issue I’ve ever listened to. Warped. Popping. One skip. Scratches. Avoid this
