The vinyl is sort of a bluish turquoise marble, some of it can be seen in the disc label pic. The LP1 label is plain black, LP2 is white. The matrix numbers are STASH 637-A, STASH 637-B, STASH 637-C and STASH 637-D. That Means A Lot is on side 3 after There's A Place but not listed on the back cover.

I've had this LP for 20 years and hardly ever played it so it recorded nicely, only 2 songs required any hand editing. I didn't remaster anything since I'm not very skilled in that area, so any dropouts or wierd speed oddities that are on the vinyl are still there. I did clean up the pops and ticks. If you don't want the hi-res 2496 files, open the torrent and deselect that folder. The 2496 does sound better than the 1644.

The artwork is pieced together from several scans, I didn't get it exactly right but close enough.

The songs are a mix of Ultra Rare Trax and Sessions.
