1997 rarity from German industrial heavy hitters KMFDM, which contrary to what I was told as a teenager, DOES NOT stand for "Kill Motha Fuckin Depeche Mode." The title of their 10th studio album is officially just a string of wingdings, but generally referred to as "Symbols" to keep it simple. It's regarded as one of the better entries in their fruitful mid-career period. This great-sounding 180g pressing takes the album's 10 tracks and spreads them out over 4 sides of vinyl - on wax for the first time in 20 years, and first time ever on double vinyl. Housed in gatefold sleeve with printed inners and lyrics.

• 180g double vinyl pressing
