Two LP 50th Anniversary reissue with heavy stock tip-on jacket and custom printed inner sleeves.

Hype sticker on front cover shrink-wrap:
"Direct to analog mastering by Kevin Gray / Cohearent Audio"
"2LP Pressed on 180gm vinyl at Precision"
"Bonus LP featuring rare cuts making their vinyl debut, highlighted by Marvin's previously unreleased 'stripped' version, plus all original mono single mixes and their B-sides"

Sticker on back cover shrink-wrap:
"Made in Czech Republic"

Stickers on some sealed copies state: "Pressed [...] at Precision" on hype sticker vs. "Made in Czech Republic" on back cover sticker, suggesting lacquers from Cohearent Audio were plated in Czech Republic and pressed at Precision, though this can't be determined definitively based on deadwax information.
