My friend bought this for UKP10 in London and he says that it is limited to one copy. What he means is that he is the only one owning no. 491. Of course, when we saw it we assumed that the limitation was 500 or 1000 but later it turned out to be about 30000 -- probably a bigger edition than the black vinyl release. But then there is another release with vinyls in different colours...

Agree completely. But the vinyl only track (unofficially "Stone in focus") is one of the best songs.

I don't think that is necessary, since they are available as text on Alan's Aphex Twin homepage at Hyperreal.
