The band members and original recording engineer have added extensive sleeve notes and detailed technical information about every track. The original booklet is also reproduced in an expanded 20 page edition, an additional poster, and a special printed paper bag that features new art by legendary Sci Fi artist Mark Salwowski. For the first time after 30 inaccurate previous editions the cover is reproduced the correct way round, every previous edition has printed the gatefold with the back as the front. This Definitive Edition faithfully reproduces the original gatefold, including its defects, patina, and wear. The centrepiece of these 14 releases is the first ever accurate reproduction of one of the last surviving original 12 gatefold copies, with no digital enhancement, no additions, just a pure reproduction of that invaluable original. Original copies have sold for over £35,000, in stark comparison to the 64 copies sold and given away in 1972. It’s rediscovery saw it become the most valuable rock LP in the world. Dark issued one of the worlds most historically significant LPs, self released in 1972 and epitomising the seventies underground ethic.
