Armin* – Communication

I own all these tracks separately on the original vinyls but I had to have this edition seeing as it has all 3 versions on the 1 vinyl but also because the fact it s in purple translucent as all my other vinyls of these tracks are just on standard black vinyl. Just as good as I it back in 1999

The only place, apart from the Acetate that the utterly incredible Jon Vesta mix features in full. Worth every penny and more just for that.

One of Armin van Buuren's most iconic pieces, a gem to own.

This is probably my all time most played trance record. Was listening to Homelands 99 essential mix the other day and it was played so had to dust off my copy to enjoy it all over again.

Stunning color, amazing sound quality, perfect for DJing... you need this!

Друзья, я походу первым напишу свою рецензию на этот альбом как на русском так и на английском.
Рецензия на русском:
Отслушал сегодня три версии сингла communication, вкратце просто расскажу. Выбор пал именно на него, потому что слыхал про релиз на носителе сразу трёх версий Что касается пластинки, розовый прозрачный выглядит отлично, ровно и красиво. Про версии, первый и третий без споров превосходны и слушать их одно большое удовольствие. Но 2 версия может быть и неплохая, но на разок, не очень зашло (если бы время не диктовало свои условия, то могли бы подождать хотя бы лет 5-7 до выхода апгрейдного трека)
А так релиз сингла - хороший повод напомнить не только новому поколению про существование одного из наилучших шедевров, но и ценителям, которые обожают не только слушать на этих носителях, но и по ностальгировать. И когда я слушал, появилось мнение, что это был ремастер, ибо прошло много времени, и нужно было освежить их
Если это так, то моё почтение. Вообщем, объединил он и издал на одной пластинке, респект за релиз моё уважение за качество.

Review in English:
I listened to three versions of the communication single today, I'll just tell you briefly. The choice fell on him, because I heard about the release on the media of three versions at once. As for the record, purple transparent looks great, smooth and beautiful. And now about the versions, the first and third are excellent without dispute and listening to them is a great pleasure. But version 2 may be good, but for once, it didn't go very well (if time hadn't dictated its own , we could have waited at least 5-7 years before the release of the upgrade track)
And so the release of the single is a good reason to remind not only the new generation about the existence of one of the best masterpieces, but also connoisseurs who love not only to listen on these media, but also to be nostalgic. And when I listened, I got the impression that it was a remaster, because a lot of time had ed, and it was necessary to refresh them.
If that's the case, then my respects. in general, he combined and released on one record, respect for the release and my respect for the quality.

Communication is one of the biggest trance anthems ever made. This release however, is a typical UK release, with an edit of the original 12'' mix (which spans to over 9 minutes).

Outstanding release. All remixes are great (with Jon Vesta's being my personal favourite) and the original is...well, a classic at this point.

As far as the audible glitches go, they only affect the original mix (track 2).

I detected at least three separate "skips", where the audio jumps approximately one second forward.

This CDr is really just for Armin completists anyway as the original Dutch CDM (Communication) has the same tracklist (apart from the radio edits).

Does anyone know how many copies of this were pressed? I'm guessing 1000, but maybe as little as 500?
