The 180g albums have been available for a while, but very expensive (OK, £20 or so, not that expensive), but these apparently are 135g. Why?

Quote "The vinyl sounds great but we make no ludicrous claims to it being of 'audiophile' quality"

What??? Ludicrous? I just don't get it. Why not 'audiophile'? Why don't they just do it properly, including a 12" booklet, not just shoving the CD-sized booklet in the box?

I have so many Nick Drake CDs, but have resisted the vinyl. This now means (IMO) at some future point a boxed set of the 'audiophile' - remastered, 180g vinyl - LPs will be released together with booklet. Just get it over with...
