    Maybe a reissue for the 30th anniversary?. Hope so. Immortal masterpiece.

      Dynamic Range 10 (track 1 and 11 are DR11) versus the CD and digital master's DR8. Not much of a remaster. This 3-track per side format is the only way to release this album on LP since if they had 4 tracks on side A that would put Circuitry close to the center label, giving one of the most popular songs from the album the least quality.
      I hope they repress it but do another remaster and try to get towards 14 dynamic range. Also this isn't a "double gatefold" I have no idea what that is, there's such a thing as a triple-gatefold but this isn't that. This is a regular gatefold. There are no inserts, printed inner sleeves, or posters included, it's a very barebones release the same as all other Art Of Fact / Storming the Base vinyl reissue of 90's electro-industrial classics which never had LP editions. Most of those reissues have slightly better remasters than this one.
