    Why vinyl? It’s an all digital recording… and sounds sensational on the original cd

      I would love a vinyl release of this. Just because some people don't want to listen to it with breaks, doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. And there are natural pauses in the music which would make it ideal. I would have side A feature the intro and first six minutes or so of Part One (for 11:40 in total). Side B finishes part one (20:05). Then Parts two and three make up the second LP (20:30 and 15:54). This would fit very nicely on vinyl.

      While we're at it, I'd love Imaginary Day too.

        i don't think this album needs to be released as vinyl. The whole album is consisted with one big song with running time of 68 minutes. That's why there are no stops in between the tracks in CD. if we listened this album with vinyl, we would have to flip the vinyl to Side B, and it would ruin the whole experience listening to the album without any stops.
