Nope, not by me... but I've been assured that they will be faithful reproductions.

There are 1500 x 1500 images assigned to the Amazon links, so perhaps these are the cover images for the vinyl releases?

Ultravox! is a bit spotty in places, but Systems Of Romance looks good, especially with the original Garamond typeface in place! ;-)

Cheers, Rob ... and thanks.

Well, I have all three of these on vinyl second hand. I do like coloured vinyl though so maybe I can be tempted! Maybe ...

Hi Rob

regarding these vinyl reissues. Do you know if they have gone back to the original analog masters and remastered in analog for the vinyl pressings?

As far as I know, the same masters which were used for The Island Years box set were used for these new vinyl editions.

That does not sound great as they will be digital. I hope they at least used hi-res digital and not remastered from the 16/44 CD master.

I don't think anyone should be getting rid of their original UK pressings for these.

cheers
