Claims to be from the master tapes - let's hope that's true!

:D Good to see this is getting the Deluxe treatment, was there never a 12 Inch version of "Ex Luna Scientia"??

Yes there was, which was used later on on the LP.

This looks interesting and well curated. As I never really tried to get the Dramatis material back in the day, this looks like a handy one-stop process.

Fantastic - I love this album.
And I always hated the design and the presentation of the previous cd releases.
Finally the correct sleeve and with lots of bonus tracks.
Since years I was planning to made my own collection - let digitizing my vinyls.
Would have been the same tracklist as it looks complete - speaking of official releases. And the BBC concert is a nice bonus.

Got my copy today and listened through. Love it. Excellent sound. Highly recommended. Dramatis should've made more music!

They still are. They put out a great track a few years ago.

Such an underrated band. They should have been so much bigger.
This 2 cd edition is my re-release album of the year!!
