    Most likely a digital to vinyl master. Hit-or-miss pressings sold at Amazon. Matrix matches but no CD included. If you get a flat one without the surface noise it sounds amazing! Clean and dynamic with a nice full sound. And at a decent price!

      My version of this has the same barcode and catalog number 9442-1 / 724596944219 but it doesn't contain a CD. It comes with a folded poster instead.

        It's news to me that there are people who "reject" this album. The first time I heard it I was swept into retro sci-fi-fantasy world where unicorns run free and Giorgio Moroder the benevolent ruler of the galaxy. It is also a stunning companion piece to the album that came before it - Seventh Tree. While Seventh Tree manages to be a Goldfrapp downtempo album Head First feels deliberately "uptempo" - if such a genre could exist. The songs are light and breezy, but at the same time elegantly psychedelic and pulsate with life. I have no real criticism of the album. The writing, singing and production are as tight and on-point as ever, the flow is splendid, and every song is enjoyable and accessible. Of all of their albums, it is the one I come back to the most.
