No need to pay silly prices. The new press uses the exact same metal work as this on really good vinyl for cheap!
Peter_Carsten Dec 30, 2021
There's an additional easy way to identify this release: the label. In this european 1998 release is a star printed right in the 'a' of the word 'air'. In all other versions the star is in the 'i'.
By layouting the labels, they obviously turned that night sky a bit clockwise - compared to the other versions.

I don't see any difference between this press and http://www.discogs.com/AIR-French-Band-Moon-Safari/release/2798033

This pressing sounds GREAT!! I've loved Air for years but with each release I've loved more than the one before. I found this pressing and decided to buy it at a low price and very happy I did! Hearing Moon Safari on vinyl for the 1st time breathe new life into it and more depth! Definitely add this to your collection if you can!
Now if only Air would do us all a favor&reissue their other releases at decent prices finally!
