Matching Mole facsimile vinyl edition

Esoteric Recordings will release a limited 180g facsimile vinyl edition of Matching Mole's debut album re-mastered from the original CBS master tapes.

This is probably the same remastered version that was released by Esoteric in on CD in 2012 (see blog post).

You may pre-order from Burning Shed, who says that the inner bag is featuring an essay by Sid Smith. Again probably the same essay as in the booklet of the CD edition.
