Selected Ambient Works Volume II

Repress of the US CD to vinyl with printed barcode on back. Missing 2 tracks instead of the usual 1 almost all versions of the album are missing. Track 4 (known to fans as "Hankie") and track 19 (known to fans as "Stone In Focus") are the missing tracks. Although all 25 tracks (23 on this version) have titles, the "game" Aphex Twin was playing this time around is that every track title should be a photograph instead of words. Thus track titles are not listed here (with the exception of Blue Calx, which had already appeared a year earlier in a compilation). Although the versions reprinted by "1972" are commonly believed to be counterfeits they were in fact licenced from Sire records (the US distributor of the album) without the knowledge of WARP Records (the original distributor) or Aphex Twin. Sticker on front cover reads: "a landmark of the Ambient genre: Richard D. James' soulful, electronic holy music continues to bewilder nearly two decades later. if11" (same as 2012 release on same label.)
