As with every @needlemythology.bsky.social release, this one does not disappoint. Beautifully put together and the quality of the music, well, that was never in doubt.

I particularly love the train ticket hype sticker design.

An album cover for "Think Once More: A Journey with The Montgolfier Brothers." It features two men standing on what appears to be train tracks, with a modern building in the background. The image has a muted color palette.

An album cover hype sticker for "The Montgolfier Brothers - Between Two Points," that is designed to mimic a UK train ticket and features a description of the music and comments from notable figures, presented as a 2x LP format. The label is identified as Needle Mythology.

The description and quotes read as follows:

THINK ONCE MORE 2xLP
A journey with THE MONTGOLFIER BROTHERS
Features *BETWEEN TWO POINTS*
Recently recorded by David Gilmour & Romany Gilmour

“...should be available on prescription as a remedy to the mad pace of the modern world." - Tim Burgess
"Sophisticated..,haunting songs to shyly, slyly, take up residency in your heart and head." - Stuart Maconie

This has just arrived at the studio. A reissue of one of my favourite albums of all time, augmented with the contents of three contemporary singles - all on a double LP. I look forward to listening to this remastered edition (and now on 12" #vinyl) #TheOrchids #Lyceum #SarahRecords

Very much looking forward to listening to this. Would I have bought it without the temptation of the deal? Probably not. Is it worth its full price? Of course it is.

Think once more, a journey with The Montgolfier Brothers

*storeys! But it’s a story in itself.

Mark Tranmer @marktranmer.bsky.social · Aug 9

Thank you @konn63.bsky.social - it is the sound of water overflowing from a gutter 5 or 6 stories up, onto the Yorkshire street below, during an extremely heavy rain shower. If that helps 🤷.

Alan C @konn63.bsky.social · Aug 9

Gosh #musicsky 🎶, I have the CD but this great record deserves to be heard on vinyl. So….
