    Bought it for Midas Touch and the sleeve, both are legendary and are worth the purchase of the whole LP (rest of the album is not my cup of tea to be honest)

      The album sleeve features some of the craziest haircuts this side of the Milky Way

        Got this one on cd a couple of weeks back, the 'Sequel records' one. Still great album. Only track 11 is not 'Engine no. 9' 12'' mix but the song 'Operator' from the 'Planetary invasion' album. And there's a track 12 'Curious', also from the 'Planetary invasion' album. Is that the case with the whole batch of cd's....if anyone knows?

          This album proves that rare groove doesnt always have to cost a ton
