That song was not originally on the original album. It was a bonus drug on the 2017 release.

It was on the original CD in Europe though back in 1992. So Music On Vinyl being Dutch guys are keeping it right for us here in the UK. :) See full review

How about pressing quality? Reproduction of this particular issue compared with the later ones?

Typical of finely crafted vinyl from that time. Solid thick pressing with rich reproduction. The dialogue isn't super clear, has to be said, but largely due to the performers dropping their voice. George Martin presumably didn't mike the stage quite... See full review

How’d they do that?

Have you not heard the classic 10cc albums they did with Stewart and Gouldman? There were elements of this that would weave throughout the early stuff.

In fact, if I didn't know it was Godley And Creme,... See full review

Why don't you just read the sticker? That should do the trick...

You're presuming it's because it's orange then, yeah? If it specified a finite number on the sticker that would be fine. Apparently at the moment though,... See full review

I'm guessing you're not 57 years old like me. Like the two box sets of 7" singles that pissed some off, this is packaged pure those who are nostalgic for objects related to the time. It's meant to mimic the boxes of BASF studio tape (the BOWIE is in... See full review

Agreed. And all the Ozric Tentacles ones are packaged by someone who lines up the opening of the inner sleeve with the opening of the outer sleeve. It's a small thing but signifies to me that they don't know how to look after their records so what... See full review

How come this isn't blocked but the unofficial reissue I have, by the same people, is??

A shout out for Phallus Dei as well.
All three. Brilliant.

Is it raw, or is it just spontaneous? Side 3 I'm thinking particularly here. They listen to each other while evolving their own parts. The bass player in particular. It's more like modernist contemporary music rather than merely psychedelic ('merely... See full review

I can't believe my luck. I had to pay over £80 for this UK original copy BUT the luck is that it's so obviously NEVER BEEN PLAYED (or at least they played it and decided to never play it again). The stylus tracks through pristine grooves with no... See full review

Plus if the vinyl goes on, I sit down and stay there listening.
The CD goes on and I walk away or do the dishes.
People never factored that in when it comes to the 'vinyl vs CD' debate.

CDs and streaming are for the people who like to do other things... See full review

In addition to what others have said, it's very significant to note in one article I've just read that the compression of the album (running time of 50 minutes originally) onto two sides in 1981 caused a compromise to the sound. I DO remember that... See full review

Personally I prefer this artwork to Heaven Or Las Vegas. Especially with the unique flap.

Really impressed with the mastering as well as the pressing of this re-issue. One of the rare products of GZ Media to be entirely fit for purpose for once. This is a nice quality plate, quiet, as it should be. Great presentation of the sleeve. Most... See full review

Were you happy? Listening to my 2022 copy right now (repress of the same 2020 remaster) . The pressing is super quiet and clean. No surface noise in the very quiet sections. The music is compressed quite hard but I'm confident it would've been equally... See full review
