Notes

This is the second pressing. Characteristics for this pressing are:
- back sleeve has a clear sticker affixed (under "skam") with BOARDS OF CANADA on it in braille.
- back sleeve has no barcode on the back
- centre labels: white text on blue background
- centre labels: written + produced by mike sandison + marcus eoin
- centre labels: made in the e.u. by Pure Music
- centre labels: "recorded at hexagon sun 1996" printed.
- insert: A4 on blue paper with black printing, showing photographs where faces are in black and the background in blue.

The first pressing from 1996 also has the sticker but does contain the barcode on the back.
The third and fourth pressings from 2002 and 2005 have stamped braille instead of a sticker on the sleeve and contain the barcode as well.

    This review is for the quality of the pressing, not the music (which is obviously five stars).

    I bought this reissue when it came out in 1999. I have never been thrilled with the pressing quality. It's muddy and overdriven. I compared this version of Turquoise Hexagon Sun with the vinyl reissue of Music Has the Right from 2002. That version is so much cleaner and clearer.
