This project has been a labour of love that has been done with the direct involvement of the band over the past year.
I've pre-ordered this, the Abedecarians Eureka Experience Package (double colour vinyl, bonus cd, standard cd, t-shirt, sticker) and can be ordered direct from Pylon Records website:

On December 4th, 2012, Pylon Records will release, The Abecedarians Eureka album in its entirety for the first time on vinyl and CD. The band fronted by Chris Manecke, John Blake & Kevin Dolan , have roots in both post-punk and atmospheric 4AD pop, much like the Joy Division/New Order axis. They are also the only American band to have a single on the legendary Factory Records.
This release collects all the songs from the Eureka era, including the demos, which were mixed down in the early 90s. Eureka will be a double vinyl, in a beautiful card stock gatefold jacket with a UV varnish of the memorable artwork, which has been restored, full lyric sheet and unseen photos of the band.
The first 300 copies of the Eureka album will be on blue colored vinyl, which will also come with a bonus Cd, that will include rest of the Eureka era tracks. This will be only available from the Pylon website, the bonus cd will not be available with the commercial Cd or the regular black vinyl version.
