It features the original seven tracks from the vinyl plus six "recordings" entitled "Reproduction And Decay Of Spatial Relations" made by Z'EV in May/June 2005. The CD is housed in a reproduction of the original LP cover and comes with a special handmade insert. The first edition of 500 copies also includes a bonus CD with never before released archive material all recorded in 1982 entitled "That Was The Year That Was What It Was". Notes about "That Was The Year That Was What It Was": "At this time in history, cassette was THE ubiquitous storage medium, and while perhaps in this digital age some may feel the quality of the recordings seem to leave something to be desired, the performances here documented still deserve to be heard." Track 2-01: In the booklet [r=123362] (Track 1.21), Michelle Hout was credited for being the recording engineer. The event was produced by Lynn Holst.
