The number 08 appears prominently on the spines and 8 appears on the CD artwork. This release comes as a tri-fold Digipak with sixteen page booklet. This version of 'Velvet Voyage' is slightly different from previous releases. Track 3 is a formerly unreleased long track that Klaus Schulze recorded six months prior to Mirage. It's the complete version of a soundtrack piece that was originally used for a Dutch movie. Only five minutes from this piece was ever used before on a now long-deleted sampler. There exist two pressings of this release. First pressing contains bad quality transfers of all tracks with lots of glitches and very low sound volume. The second pressing corrects most of glitches in tracks 1 and 2, although track 3 still contains them (but this may be due to the source tapes themselves which are apologised for in the booklet. 51523360/304032-1 21 matrix is for one of the second pressing 'corrected' variants)
