Regretful CD Purchase Decision
5 out of 5 stars
pawkulrub23 June 2025United States🇺🇸
Oh, how I regret getting this album on CD during his London show at the time of its release.. why did I do that😢. With over three decades of vinyl collecting under my belt, this has to rank among my worst decisions. I'd absolutely love to have this album on vinyl, but there's no way I'm paying those ridiculous prices.
Missing Track on Vinyl

I'd be thrilled to have this, but I keep hesitating because 'Below The Bassline' isn't on the vinyl version. Does anyone have any idea why that is?
Missed Chance for Expanded Vinyl
5 out of 5 stars
Hoattenle13 June 2025United States🇺🇸
This is an excellent pressing of this much-anticipated reissue, which is sure to gain value quickly. What a missed chance to go for an expanded edition with those fantastic bonus tracks from the CD version! Orthorien, you've got a point there. The CD did indeed have more tracks, but they could've gone for an expanded double vinyl release.
