Upon visiting the plant, Eric Woolfson noticed a long street called Ammonia Avenue, devoid of people and trees and dominated by miles of pipes.The album sessions featured the contribution of musicians such as Ian Bairnson guitars, David Paton bass, Stuart Elliott drums with Eric Woolfson playing keyboards and lead vocals on four of the album’s nine songs.

12 Inch

— 12 Inch vinyl is the classic full-size format, most commonly used for albums and extended releases. Spinning at either 33⅓ or 45 RPM, it offers wider grooves and greater dynamic range, allowing for richer sound quality and deeper bass response compared to smaller formats. Choose a 12 Inch record if you want the complete album experience, from full artwork sleeves to expansive analogue sound. It’s the definitive format for serious listening, collecting, and enjoying music as it was originally intended to be heard..

Deluxe

— Deluxe editions expand on the original release with enhanced packaging, additional content, or upgraded presentation. This may include bonus tracks, extra discs, extended liner notes, alternative artwork, or premium sleeve finishes designed to elevate the overall experience. Choose a deluxe version if you want more than the standard release. Whether it’s added music, improved mastering, or collector-focused presentation, deluxe editions offer greater depth and value for dedicated listeners and serious collectors..

Limited

— Limited editions are pressed in restricted quantities, making them more exclusive and often more desirable to collectors. Whether it’s a special colour variant, alternate artwork, numbered sleeve, or short production run, these releases are produced for a defined period or capped total. Choose a limited pressing if you’re looking for something rarer than a standard release. Once they’re gone, they’re usually gone — making them ideal for collectors who appreciate scarcity, unique presentation, and the potential long-term value of a hard-to-find edition..

New

Remastered

— Remastered editions are recordings that have been carefully enhanced using modern audio technology to improve clarity, balance, and overall sound quality. Working from the original master tapes or high-resolution sources, engineers refine the mix to bring out detail, depth, and dynamic range that may not have been fully realised in earlier pressings. Choose a remastered release if you want a cleaner, more defined listening experience while staying true to the original performance. Whether it’s a classic album given new life or a subtle sonic upgrade, remastered vinyl offers familiar music with renewed presence and precision..
