"A good item" remarked Andrew Jacques, formerly of These Records, who had graced us with his presence to inspect the goods and assist us with a quality control check.

We really wanted to see the 'paperfoam' trays, which we had decided to use to cut down on the amount of plastic needed for this release; the verdict was that they have a nice feel as they have a little more depth than their plastic cousins, and they function fine.

The audio test gave us an excuse to listen to the album from top to bottom, particularly enjoying the unfeasibly long gap between 'Raindrops From Heaven' and 'Restless Mind', there to mark the fact that this was originally a cassette release.

WHAT THE F***?!
Life And Living Records introduces revolutionary new format!

By cutting grooves into the surface of a disc made of polyvinyl chloride, we've disovered you can reproduce sound to a staggering degree of clarity!
