    David in 1986: "Russell, I'd need the most mystical-looking artwork you can muster. Here are my illustrated alchemy-themed books I'm basing my songs in for your inspiration. The title is Gone to Earth, so let us dive deep into the earth element with this".
    David in 2018: "Oh, long time no see. Now I'm curating these as if they were a writer's complete oeuvre. So Yuka, I'd need the most period-piece-looking vérité snapshot you can find, '80s haircut included. The title is Gone to Earth, so let's bring the whole thing down to earth, right?".

        The sound of the vinyl is satisfying but I've got too many crackles on side D where the songs are quiet. This is unacceptable for a brand new item. As for the original artwork, I have a US reissued CD and I have never found this artwork particularly stunning.

          No amount of cleaning can get rid of the crackles and pop. Bummer.

            Shame on whoever put so little effort in the vinyl pressing of this...as far as the artwork i read somewhere that the original art was missing/destroyed so they couldn't reproduce it anymore, too bad...still, if the quality of vinyl was good that could have been forgiven!

              I would never buy this reissue just because of the pathetic new cover/artwork. What is that? You meddle with perfection you end up as a mediocre contender. This cover just killed the mood.

                I suppose this needs a reissue and it's nice enough, but it's a little bit uninspired. The original Russell Mills artwork is nowhere to be seen, which is a real shame; what we've ended up with is a typically tasteful Sylvian re-release without anything additional to get excited about.

                  Two copies from Amazon UK, both with identical scratch. Both sent back. Looks like a manufacturing fault. https://i.redd.it/wct59we6ral21.jpg

                    Any comments about the quality of that new pressing ? Flat wax, quiet and clear sound ? Thanks.

                      Had to pick this one as it was screaming at me in a record shop. Just why did they butcher (or simply completely changed) the original cover art is beyond criminal.
