    Why has this album not been reissued? Seems pretty big demand. Rights issues?

      Echoing others here, but vinyl is mastered great, pressing is flawless (thank you QRP), jacket is a glossy tip-on and is beautiful, and the music is amazing. Check the lineup. For me, the ballad Who Does She Hope to Be is everything and why I paid up for this. Grab it if you can. I doubt this gets another pressing, but if it does, I bet it's small. This is a pretty niche album.

        VMP repressed this again and it supposedly went on sale today at 10am MST. I was on the website right at 10 but it never showed available. Idk if it sold out immediately or if VMP played me.

          This one surely needs a reissue (and please no so-called "limited edition"-bullshit)! Need this one, but I really do not want to feed the sharks...

            Stunning is the first word that comes to mind. An extraordinary pressing of an extraordinary album.

              Jumpin jehoshaphat!, these prices are off the charts! What are you ruddy fools doing? Do you just want the records buried with you or do you wanna sell them?? They should change the name of the company to "Re-press Me Please"

                No doubt that this is a challenging listen at times to the uninitiated (that’s me!) but I can’t stop coming back to it. Great press, can’t go wrong with QRP!

                  flawless pressing. No noticeable noise or pops for my copy. And sound is great. QRP did a decent job

                    The music is really great. Sound & pressing are also very nice and I love this tip-on sleeve..

                      Incredible. Amazing. VMP does it again! Worth the wait (I ordered in July).
