Numbering reflects how it's listed on disc labels
Typography on front cover art is different from all other vinyl issues in that the band name is cut off. On the right hand of the sleeve appears "Pale S" and part of an "A." On the left hand of the sleeve appears the other half of the "A," and "INTS."
Tracks A1 - B11 produced and engineered at Blackwing Studios
Tracks C1 - D11 recorded at Woodhouse Studios, Leeds
Tracks D12 - D15 recorded at BBD Studios, Maida Vale 23 July 1989

- What a great album, what a beautiful repressing! I've nothing to compare it to, b/c I missed them back in the day and never picked up an OG disc or LP. But this is absolutely delicious shoegaze served up on a perfect pressing (to my ears, anyway).
Does anyone have any idea why they split the band's name on the front of the LP jacket? It almost looks like a typesetting error. Everything else about this release reflects care and quality, so I'm not sure why they would decide to do that if it was intentional. Other than that, the jacket looks more or less identical to the original. Also, the image used for the digital files and the CD version has the band's name in the bottom right corner, not split across the bottom right and the bottom left.
sounds unreal even on coloured vinyl really happy with the whole package. shame no DLC though- I received a noisy pressing, full of repetitive clicks even after Vacuum cleaning: Side A end of True Coming Dream and Little Hammer and in Side B it started in Fell from the Sun and after several repetitive clicks I just quitted to listen. I will contact the label directly as this does not seem to be a problem with my copy but a pressing problem that should affect more copies. A shame that a so nice record is affected by this.
I can't believe there's no DLC included. I bought the download off the 4AD site a few years ago just to have a digital copy. I just took it for granted that the bonus material would be digitally included with the vinyl purchase.
This sounds fantastic, 4AD did a great job as usual- I never heard the original LP, however this new 30th Anniversary edition (double clear LP) is fantastic sounding. The vinyl has no defects or surface noise (always wash your new records prior to first listen). The music is dynamic, spacious and enjoyable to listen to. Even the bonus LP containing the demo's and peel sessions sound very very good. Well done on this re-release and bonus content! I hope "In Ribbons" gets this same treatment!
