And why only LP and not CD?

I am happy to get a half-speed mastered version on one LP. There was already a half-speed version in 1980/1981 and nowadays the double vinyl version but it's a nice recognition for this album if you look what other artists were released and are coming up this year.

The only thing is... this probably means no Christmas release this year.  Here's hoping for BIA deluxe boxset in the March - May release window in 2025.
