The album includes B - sides and bonus tracks like 'Puppets', 'Aphids', and 'Boy With Stick'. You'll also get a digital download.

Using this vinyl record is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently lower the needle onto the groove, and enjoy the music. Make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition.
