Deluxe 3-LP set on 180 gram vinyl.Housed in a matte tri-fold jacket with embossed details on the front and rear.
Includes two large format inserts with track lists and credits.
Runouts are entirely etched and Optimal Media GmbH's "faintly inscribed "geometric" marks" are mirrored:
Variant 1: Side A - 'Λ=V', Side B - '2X', Side C - '3=+', Side D - '— =2', Side E - '==2', Side F - '2IV'
Variant 2: Side A - '= 1', Side C - '| /\ E', Side D - '/\ /\ 2|', Side E - '+ I 5', Side F - ' | △ '
Variant 3: Side A - '1I=', Side B - '1V', Side C - '3+△', Side D - '2Ʌ=', Side E - '21V', Side F - '2=Ʌ'
Due to the nature of the hand etching, it can sometimes appear that there is a space between the letters and numbers of the Optimal Media GmbH identifiers. However, as per the Optimal Media GmbH label page, their runout scheme "is in fact always without spaces."
