Well, first the facts. It ships in a digipac, with the two discs tucked inside slits in the packaging. There is no booklet as such. Liner notes are printed in the fold out, and what you get to read is a direct quote from the original release - they won't impress anyone looking for information, and they don't come near to comparing with what we got used to the the previous reissues.
Then on to the minor angst this release caused. If you're reading this you'll know all about it, so I won't detail it again. In a nutshell - this music was originally released on 12-inch vinyl, but strangely it was meant to be played at 45RPM (usually reserved for 7-inch singles). The record label saw that the original release said 45 RPM, and took that to mean it was one huge mistake. So - ion press releases prior to the reissuing hitting the streets, we got to read about how the label had fixed past "mistakes", and that we were getting two versions here - one at the "correct" speed on 33RPM, and another a what would have been 45RPM, but with the tone changed so it wouldn't sound weird.
In the end this was all found out to be tosh - the original 45RPM copy was CORRECT, there never was a mistake, and the tweo versions on this release are incorrect - albeit with Schulze's okay.
Got that? Good, because in the end all I care about is what it sounds like. The 45RPM version is..... truly bizarre. How anyone could think that sounds right is beyond words. All vocalists sound like old drunks. The 33RPM version is better. None replace the original CD release - but that goes for silly money (£86 at time of my writing this).
Weirdly, the liner notes in the digipac are actually a sticker. If you peer underneath it you'll find the original press release about previous mistakes with speed etc.....
Sounds quality - detail etc - is good. Those bothered by volume levels being pumped up will hate it - this disc is LOUD. Personally I'm glad to own it, even if only as a curio. But to say this is a odd release doesn't really cover it. --lol--
