Its barcode is larger and has a VERY faint catalog number on the bottom of the spine (it may be hard to see).

    What are you folks smoking out here? What are these prices??

      Love the graphic design of this one. So much more well-thought than the CD. That's good too, but this was clearly laid out much better.

        Hurry up and reissue this on vinyl already ! i mean seriously are you guys going to wait until your original fan base is 70 yrs old and will need hearing aids

          So happy to have this. I have a visually vg-/g+ copy and played it at my record store on their equipment and it played thru rather poor... brought it home to our thorens td160 with a Denon DL110. Man what a difference. Plays thru vg+.I hope the 180g reissue allows the early copies to drop in value for the sake of others, this sounds very good!

            I spun this yesterday and yeah oooooh I shouldn’t but I have solid gear and treat it well and it rewarded me it is everything you think it should be sonically faultless expensive getting a copy now YES but even if I slapped down 5k I’m telling you as a fan and or an audiophile it’s a SOUND INVESTMENT!

              Remasters are in the works. Danny has 180gm test pressings.

                Doubt this will ever get a reissue. The master tapes are likely locked up and owned by Zoo. Unless the band got control back from Zoo in the lawsuit. My guess is litigation has kept this album from ever getting the love it deserves with a reissue for the past 30 years. The bitterness between parties is worse than Waters and Gilmore. Don’t hold your breath. Save your money move on a good original when a good deal comes up.

                  Amazing. this is one of those albums where the vinyl really got the special treatment. Danny Carey's drums sound so much more live on the wax. I have the BMG/Zoo press.

                  Even if they ever get to officially repress this, I doubt it'll sound this good. Those original tapes have only withered away and who knows what digital signal they would run it through to re master.
                  anyways, good luck to anyone trying to obtain this

                    VMP will repress in the next 2-3 years, for sure.

                      Can anyone confirm that Classic Records pressed this? If it didn’t, does anyone know who pressed this?
