Wonderful news.

The Only Truth 12" was the only place to get the long instrumental version.....thus far.

Just got this in the mail today. Sounds quite good. Much better than some of the previous Paul Haig reisuses.

How does disc 3 sound? Any vinyls used? (Especially The Only Truth (Instrumental))

Disc 3 sounds great to me. Most of the mixes appear to be sourced from the master tapes, couldn't spot any vinyl rips. If there are they're very good quality ones. The only slight drawback was that Heaven Help You Now (12") cuts of abruptly towards the end. Is it supposed to? I heard the vinyl rip on Youtube that someone had and it did the same.

Thanks for clearing that out. I consider buying after I already bought the Metamorphosis 2-CD (2016) and Rhythm Of Life (2014). I think the abrupt end of HHYN (TWI 624) is suppost to be. After the long instrumental section that's starting around 6:08min. there's only a synth sound left for the last 3 seconds and then it's suddenly gone. Never heard a version that was any different so I think it's a studio mastering issue that was there since it's vinyl release back in the day.
