    Since these are a limited run of 1500, where's the numbering at on the pressing?

        I think this album along with Deadwing is Porcupine Trees finest hour. Every track is exceptional with great pace changing throughout. There's a lot of folks out there who have never heard of this band or this album and that's truly unfortunate. A true rock classic in every sense of the word. Also, the cyan blue vinyl is one of the coolest color versions I've seen. Do yourself a favor if you are even close to being a prog fan and pick up any version of this album. You will truly be floored.

          I purchased this together with the standard 180g black release; Long story short, I got a good deal. Also a friend told me told me to go for it - this colored release would be worth quite a bit more - and then I accidentally opened it, thinking it was the standard one. Yeah. That being said, my copy sounds great; no problems at all.
