Notes
Hype sticker on the outer protective plastic states,
Expanded Edition
First time on 180gram black vinyl and expanded
with 4 additional tracks
Issued with two printed inner sleeves.
The four bonus tracks are:
1) The Scent Of Magnolia (LP position A2) - 5:36
2) Albuquerque (Dobro #6) (LP position B3) - 1:21
3) Cover Me With Flowers (LP position B1) - 6:33
4) Aparna And Nimisha (Dobro #5) (LP position C5) - 0:56
Although the bonus tracks are interspersed throughout the LP (as shown in the LP positions designated above), when ed via the card enclosed with this 2LP set, the bonus tracks appear as tracks number 15, 16, 17, and 18, following the original 14 tracks as they were configured on the CD editions of this release. However, on this 18-track LP, beyond the insertion throughout the two LPs of the four bonus tracks, even the original 14 tracks are configured differently than they were on the CD versions of this release, presumably to accommodate the 4-sided 2LP format and the associated time considerations (for example, compare the track order of David Sylvian - Dead Bees On A Cake).
Track times of the bonus tracks are taken from the times as shown on Windows Media Player.

My copy of this vinyl has a small problem, I believe is a pressing problem, the first song on the C side "Thalhiem" starts without the first notes, it starts already within the song.
The vinyl sounds good and it's great to hear this album on vinyl.
The extra songs don't add much to the album, I would prefer to have a single disc version with the songs from the CD release. The additional tracks simply don't have the same quality as the tracks from the original release.
Sadly, the old nice cover from the CD release was replaced by another one. -
Edited 4 years agoThis plays fantastic. Really, really nice. Crisp and smooth.
The artwork, both outer and inner is a thing of beauty too. Very well packaged.
I hadn't listened to it in years when I bought it initially on CD but about a year ago discovered I had a new-found love for it.
I recently picked this 2xLP version up for £10 on eBay in near-mint condition (I guess no-one else was bidding that day).
An absolute steal. -
This edition I picked up at HMV as a means to finally get into this album, as I found it a struggle. It's a nice flat, quiet pressing and sounds excellent. I think the new artwork does it justice better than the original and now I love it. Highly recommended. -
This edition with the extra tracks feels more complete to that time period. I always liked Scent of Magnolia so was very happy to see it here on vinyl. Some of the tracks I didn’t care for on the 1999 version have found a new place for me now. Maybe that’s just the vinyl speaking. And, this pressing sounds crisp and clean. Great pressing! -
Nice sounding pressing, I haven't heard the RSD white vinyl version but apparently that had some pressing problems. As far as I can hear they haven't made their way on to the black version thankfully.
