Strictly speaking, this is not a 're-press' because the discs were not 're-pressed' at this stage. Only the sleeve was altered, and the first pressing run discs were then housed within. This album had a massive pressing run, and as per usual large record label policy, probably more discs were pressed initially than sleeves printed.

The authorative Pink Floyd Archives website lists this pressing as a '2nd issue' with " Alternate original issue with a cover picture that has a black border around the picture of the beds, a green and orange Pink Floyd symbol in the upper right corner, and a blue flame in the lower right corner."

This Album was recorded digitally, with the exception of the acoustic drums and bass guitar which were recorded analogue. Dolby SR noise reduction was used for mixing; mastered direct to metal

"Precision DMM" is etched on dead wax, which means "Direct Metal Mastering"

Custom printed inner sleeve.

     A Momentary Lapse of Reason is the thirteenth studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released in the UK and US on 7 September 1987 by EMI and Columbia. It was recorded primarily on guitarist David Gilmour's converted houseboat, Astoria. It was the first Pink Floyd album recorded without founding member Roger Waters, who departed in 1985; the production was marred by legal fights over the rights to the Pink Floyd name, which was not resolved until several months after the album was released.      Unlike earlier Pink Floyd records, A Momentary Lapse of Reason is not a concept album. It includes writing contributions from outside songwriters, following Gilmour's decision to include material once intended for his third solo album. The album was promoted with a successful world tour and with three singles: the double A-side "Learning to Fly" / "Terminal Frost", "On the Turning Away", and "One Slip".      A Momentary Lapse of Reason received mixed reviews; critics praised the production and instrumentation but criticised Gilmour's writing, and it was derided by Waters. It reached number three in the UK and US, and outsold Pink Floyd's previous album The Final Cut. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
