DETAILS :-

The 328 pages (page size 290mm x 215mm) are masterprinted onto acid-free paper, of which 264 pages are on high-quality 200gsm matt art stock, 56 pages are on a fine textured 160gsm Fabriano paper and eight pages are on a bright orange, uncoated 160gsm Fedrigoni stock. There is a combination of colour and monochrome photography throughout and full colour endpapers. Each page is edged in silver.

Every copy of the limited edition has been personally autographed by Sir George Martin CBE as a mark of his approval.

All copies, Deluxe or regular, are housed in a specially-designed, hinged solander box, the cover of which is fashioned to give the appearance of a loudspeaker. The inside panels resemble part of a control desk and a turntable; the latter houses the accompanying Playback CD.
