Why on vinyl – any indication of a physical CD or digital release?
Curious to that as well. Possibly an excuse to charge a premium.
Am certainly glad to see it getting a release in *some* format, but have no doubt that it will soon turn up on the net in the form of a ‘digital LP rip’….they are doing themselves a disservice by not making it available to the public who both desire this extended score but do not have any means by which to play LPs.
