While it this 2xLP does sound nice, I think I would be more inclined to buy it had they done something amazing with the vinyl (colored, etc). Now...had the diamond dust been added to the vinyl and the vinyl been pressed on clear vinyl! I'm sure they could have done something like that (I know there are glittery records out there). That would have been pretty nifty, especially if you shone a light on the record while playing...instant disco in the room! But alas, they only pressed on black vinyl. Completely agree...as soon as I saw "diamond dust", I assumed it was colored vinyl. Would have been awesome. I envisioned something like this beauty from Simple Minds: I've got that record. I'm a sucker for colored / clear vinyl - just plain black vinyl isn't very interesting. Anyways...maybe they should have pressed it up like this fairly recent ABBA 7": for the Duran Duran records, the sparkly glitter could be replaced by the diamond dust.

Nice to see it will be a numbered release. However, i can't seem to find on the websites that the copies will be numbered, only limited. Just got e-mail from Vinyl factory, and they are telling me that they are not numbered! :-(

On the websites never was indicated that it was a numbered edition! Only limited edition.

True, more margin, but having a record numbered isn't that expensive.

I could personally care less about the numbers. I collect vinyl because I like it.

Me too. But apparantly TVF set someone on the wrong foot in their email reply about numbering .

Absolutely preordered this... I couldn't care less about them being numbered, to be honest. I'm just glad we're getting something, if this new album is gonna take forever...
