Notes
In March 2013, an unknown quantity of copies became available through the Earth Analogs Records (Matt Talbott's label). They were listed as New-old-stock of the original 12-Inch Records/Cargo 12" vinyl record. Each album is also accompanied by an original 12" x 12" Jay Ryan reinterpretation of the cover.

Matt is getting ready to repress this in a deluxe format. He said preorders are coming summer 2023, and has shown images of the tests. Don’t give up hope!
-
Per Matt today, 2xLP 45 RPM pressing imminent, test pressings in hand working to correct an issue. No need to pay outrageous sums on the old pressings!
-
Would anyone be open to trading this for the Downward is Heavenward on blue? (Yes, I know as of 07/2020 it is still available to order but maybe someone has an extra copy of YPAA that they don't need ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
-
Snagged a copy of this and boy, am I glad I did. Sorry to all you poor souls who got taken on that wretched SRC Vinyl pressing. That label is routinely awful and you should never buy anything from them. -
As of March 2014, Matt is still releasing OP copies in batches on an irregular basis via the Earth Analog webstore for $35 each (including the signed Jay Ryan art print). Visit the Earth Analog website for sale schedules.
