    The cover shows "the Pleiades also known as The Seven Sisters, Messier 45 and other names by different cultures, is an asterism and an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars in the north-west of the constellation Taurus. At a distance of about 444 light years, it is among the nearest star clusters to Earth. It is the nearest Messier object to Earth, and is the most obvious cluster to the naked eye in the night sky."

          20th Aug 2019 @ 13:23pm, I just got an email from Grouper on Bandcamp. There are some black vinyl represses up for sale for $14 USD. It also says: "shipping out on or around October 25, 2019". I guess they'll go quickly.

          Shame I can't afford the postage from USA :(
          Happy buying, people.

            If anyone is selling a reasonably priced copy of this record please let me know. Would love to have the physical version.

                  Indeed a repress of this one of a kind beauty as well as Dream Loss would be most appreciated.

                    I gave "Alien Observer" 3 stars just because of "Dream Loss" awesomness. Anyway, great release as well as the others by Liz.

                      Are there any differences between first-second-third pressings?
