Always had the cd and dvd, but just picked up the vinyl from my local record store, had no idea it was a double album ?

It was never a double album. When it was originally released on vinyl it was on one disc.

But when albums are reissued on vinyl they are quite often released as double or even triple vinyl to (theoretically) ensure better sound quality.

I guessed it was for the sound quality. Nice Canadian looking album though , although I prefer the old black vinyl look.

Always had a soft spot fort this album. On first listen all those years ago I found it very intense and almost an exhausting listen but grew to appreciate it. The accompanying tour was great.

Couldn’t agree more Railwayman. Definitely a landmark album

Is it a Picture Disc or special colored vinyl?
Wider grooves would let the needle track deeper & "supposedly"
provide a deeper more balanced bottom end. Have you played it?

I have to agree with both of You...one of my favorites from Him. The one-two punch of the title track and "Wicked Young Man" all but wore Me out!

Colored vinyl , haven’t played it yet, but will give it a spin this weekend D&C and let you know the sound quality

This is the 2022 re-issue by eOne, who also did a similar release for Dragontown in 2019.

This particular release was made in two colour variants, 'Brutal Brown' and 'Brutal Bronze'.

Brutal Bronze here, thanks for the info

[jacknifejohnny]

Great sounding album, amazed to find it plays at 45 rpm though

[While Heaven Wept]

There's no 'supposedly' about the better sound. Any side of vinyl which surpasses around 20 minutes will result in inferior audio.
