David Sylvian on the release:

The vinyl release of ‘dead bees’ on RSD is essentially the double album i’d always intended it to be before the label ran out of patience awaiting its arrival. This edition is adorned with anton corbijn’s photography and entirely redesigned by Chris Bigg. Quite beautiful it is too.
