    Correct matrix numbers for disc 1 is:SMACD827
    Correct matrix numbers for disc 2 is:SMACD841X

    The artist name and album title Porcupine Tree Lightbulb Sun should not appear on front cover, only on slipcase if authentic.

      The matrix numbers here indicate this is a counterfeit listing. See http://www.treenoise.net/voyage29/album_lightbulbsun.html for more details. The matrix numbers on the bottom of the disc should be same as catalog numbers on the top of the disc. I recently found 2 counterfeit porcupine tree albums in my collection just recently and this was one of them however this version does exist as European Tour edition but the matrix numbers are not the ones listed on this entry.
