Notes

Dan Carey

Hype sticker and rear barcode sticker (both on shrinkwrap) confirm the catalogue number for this "Stormy Blue" coloured vinyl edition as PTKF2182-3.
However, the labels, rear sleeve text and spine all state the generic vinyl catalogue number; PTKF2182-1.

A limited number of copies pre-ordered from Recordstore.co.uk/Universal includes a 12" x 12" photographic, colour print, fully signed by the band. The print is stickered (on the reverse) with barcode 2 566058 78881 and catalogue number PTKF2182-PRINT.

Initial copies purchased from Rough Trade stores came with a set of 5 postcards.

Includes a custom inner sleeve with lyrics.

    Even after cleaning with a wet, vac dry system there is a quite a bit of surface noise.

      Anywhere to still get this for a decent price? Not sure if they sold this at the shows, Skinty Fia they only sold black.

        2 copies in a row are defective. First one had a big scratch on the quiet final track on side 1 and the second one had deep scratches on side 2. I give up trying. The 2 disc version sounds way better despite the hassle of flipping records. I’ll stick with that one.

            My copy sounds great. However, the second disc has two Side C labels. Anyone else have this issue?

              This pressing sounds great! Really brings the songs to life.

                Gave my copy a deep clean before playing. The B-side is riddled with surface noise and pops. I'm gonna give it one more clean before deciding to swap it with a normal black pressing.

                  This didn’t have a code, right? Just making sure I didn’t lose anything because Dogrel had one.

                    I think its a great press, certainly far superior to Dogrel which to me sounded very flat. Love the colour too.

                      Mine came from Recordstore.co.uk with the signed print, but in no universe is this LP blue, stormy or otherwise. It is green, well turquoise if I'm being pedantic. I know the Vinyl-me-please! edition was turquoise so wondered whether they just used that pressing? Anyone else experience this?
