Identical to [r9097173] but sides A,B and D are recuts done in 2023 (as evidenced by the ‚BN‘ matrix prefix) by Heino Leja, who did the recut of side C in 2022-Version [r25658497], which is also used here. Cuts of sides B and C also used in 2023 Australian version [r27783906].

Side A of this version does NOT end with a locked groove but runs out ordinary.

In the runouts of variant 1, „XLLP 782B“ is etched, „1|“ is etched and mirrored „B******-0* *1 HL“ is stamped.
Runouts of variant 2 are fully etched. Part „HL“ in side C and D look very scripted like a signature (but can be identified as HL), whereas on side A and B they are very clean „HL“ letters. Variant 2 side A’s 1 in „∆1“ is mirrored (∆⨡). Following the runout groove, variant 2 side D starts with „II₆“ unlike the other sides.

The track ‚Idioteque‘ contains two samples from the Oddyssey label title [r121406] (1976).
The two compositions samples are Paul Lansky’s ‚Mild Und Leise‘ Published by Grim Tim Music and ‚Short Piece‘ by Arthur Kreiger Published by The Subito Music Corporation.
Both samples are used with the kind permission of the composers and The Sony Music Corporation.

Comes in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves.

The XL Recordings logo on the bottom right of the gatefold’s backside is placed partially over a row of trees without an additional background.
