The much discussed vinyl pressing of IQ's 2004 album Dark Matter will finally be released on the Primal Vinyl label.

The record will be pressed on 180g vinyl and presented in a de-luxe gatefold sleeve. Although not strictly a limited edition, the run will be for 1500 albums and at this stage it's not expected to be re-pressed beyond that quantity.

The release date hasn't been finalised yet, but the album will be distributed by Plastic Head Music and will of course be available from the online GEP store.

If the release proves successful, GEP will investigate the possibility of other IQ vinyl releases, including Ever, Subterranea and The Seventh House.
