I LOVE THIS ALBUM. HOPE THE LIMITED EDITIONS GAIN MORE VALUE OVER TIME.

Perfect sound! Clear, dynamic and bright. The vinyl is smooth, well made. Music is a mix of electronic and jazz - great combination. I recommend to buy.

I bought this new in 2020 and right now around 8400 people on discogs say they have it. It's not limited edition is it?
