The limited aspect is not the fact that it's a double cd. It's the crappy card packaging (which doesn't hold the cd's in at all well) that's limited.

a large amount of the stuff on this release is from before 'Emporer Tomato Ketchup'. If you like Aluminum Tunes I would expect that you'd enjoy other 'Lab stuff.

I know this was brought up before but what the hell does Warp have to do with this release? "At last a Stereolab release on Warp! Duophonic are of course handling the release in the UK and Elektra in Japan and USA." (from warp-net.com) Does this mean that Warp are releasing it everywhere except Japan, UK, & USA? I wouldn't call that a Warp release.

It wouldn't be a DR design since it's a Duophonic release and they never have DR designs. Nick
