Boomkat (label & mail order) claims this is an unofficial release. Can anyone corroborate this or offer more information if that is in fact true?

Looks like there has been a repress of this as there are a dozens of copies going for around £16 right now.
I thought I was lucky to get a brand new copy a couple of months ago very cheap and I have to say, the quality of what is essentially a beautifully designed, nearly 40 glossy page hardback book with 2CDs filled with photos (some in colour) of banks of EMS synths and diagrams galore plus lots of background text on the history of the EMS and Peter Zinovieff.
The music, which is what its all about is as you can imagine a varied affair but even if you have just a passing interest in analogue sounds, there will be something there that you'll enjoy.
Can't recommend this enough and at the current price you would be well advised to buy. I know I'll be buying an extra copy or two.
