We decided to make Anno 2007 an unique project, mastering and processing the LPs completely analogue on 180 g high grade vinyl; to be published in an edition which will be definitely limited to 800 (by fountainpen) numbered copies.

80 of them being a special edition (numbered Roman I - LXXX) containing a bibliophile addendum with some of my musical poems, some related handmade picture and a few music-related comments. The bibliophile leaf has been made on a private handpress, owned by a friend of mine. Cover-design by Barbara de Machula, Tibor de Machula's daughter who is a designer.

Please, note that a violinist of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, checked the music on the tapes and that Record Industry Haarlem even transformed digital apparatuses to analogue ones to archieve a complete analogue LP-Set (like before 1980). Also the personnel was reinstructed to handle the disc cutting machines etc properly!
