I'm very happy with this, great quality, vinyl sounds excellent and the price is nice too.

First vinyl reissue since the 70s and a job well done. Like all Hassell releases on Ndeya, everything about this record, including liner notes, cover, material, paper, reproductions, is top notch. Jon will be sadly missed.

„Pure bliss“ is the accurate way to describe this release - everything from the packaging, to the mastering and pressing as well as the music is just gorgeous! Lacking the proper words to praise this release but simply put: This is why we all collect and listen to vinyl.

The pressing and sound is fantastic, the cover really nice, great job by Ndeya!

This pressing is just perfection. I don't think there is any way it could be improved upon.

Did anyone pick up the print edition from bleep? How's the print? Is it just insert size (circa 31cm x 31cm) or is it a poster print type size?
