Vinyl is in great shape.
Artwork and formats
The album proper consists of 25 tracks, all of which are officially untitled except for "Blue Calx". The liner notes present a series of images to represent the title of each track, including a blue emblem for "Blue Calx". Colour-coded pie charts are also included to show which tracks belonged to which side of vinyl, as well as approximations of the duration of each track per side (for example, the colour of the first side is mustard). Officially, each track is named after its respective running order number,[3] but fan impetus led to each track being given a name based on the image representing it (such as "[rhubarb]" for track 3).[4]
The Sire/Warner Bros. Records edition changed several of the images, either by unblurring or replacing them; in the case of track 19, a blank square was left instead. The original images were also cropped and presented differently for the cassette pressing; several are rotated, while others show more of the original image.
Due to the limitations of the compact disc format, track 19 was removed from all CD pressings. This omission has since become standard, even for online retailers. The track was later included on the Astralwerks/Caroline/Virgin/EMI Records compilation Excursions in Ambience: The Third Dimension, titled "#19". The original Sire/Warner Bros. Records version also removed track four from the first disc. The vinyl edition came in two editions: a standard black vinyl pressing with full-colour artwork and a limited edition brown vinyl pressing with monochromatic photography (which is actually more common than the black vinyl pressing).
The photography is credited to Richard D. James on an image that appears on many versions of the album[clarification needed].
