Picked up The Sound of McAlmont & Butler vinyl. Finally on 2LP after years of being squished onto 1 disc. Sounds suitably EPIC.

A close-up of a vinyl record cover for "The Sound of McAlmont & Butler". A gold hype sticker on the shrink wrap reads: "Newly mastered version of the 1995 classic. On 2LPs for the first time Blue & Green Vinyl. Limited edition with print signed by David McAlmont and Bernard Butler. Contains the singles 'Yes' and 'You Do'."

“It ended up being a complete re-model and remake. It came out as KLF versus the Pet Shop Boys, but in reality it’s all a horrible experience. We aren’t really re-mixers.” Bill Drummond, interviewed by Mark Prendergast for Sound On Sound, April 1991: www.muzines.co.uk/articles/ins...
