A vinyl release for Custard Flux's Helium

Oh happy day! My vinyl copy of Custard Flux's 'Helium' arrived this morning and as you'd expect, man, it sounds absolutely marvellous. High quality is always assured where Gregory Curvey's concerned and this release maintains those high standards in every regard. It goes without saying that the musical content represents the finest in psychedelic rock/pop/prog delivered by one of the genres foremost proponents and most talented writers and multi-instrumentalists. Here's my review of 'Helium' on it's initial release. I loved it then and love it now, best release of 2018. And, here's what I said when on hearing 'Helium' was getting a vinyl release, featuring all 16 songs included on both Helium and the bonus material included in the album's deluxe CD box set addition. The vinyl release of 'Helium' is an all round quality package, it's a nice clean pressing, the two Raspberry coloured 180g LPs are subtly marbled, nice, there's a lyric sheet, a sticker, a 6” x 8” postcard, and it's all housed in a 1/4” spined, high grade card jacket, packaged in a reusable plastic bag. The first 10 ordered had a set of cards which had been included in the deluxe CD box set, which was very cool. There was also a CD copy of Helium's fabulous companion album 'Echo', if you like Helium then you'll love Echo (Here's my review of 'Echo'). I recommend you buy this album now, thus avoiding yourself inevitable future disappointment on realizing they've sold out
