Cut from the original 1/2" tapes by Bo Kondren at Calyx Mastering!5th Studio Album from 1997 on Double LP!Stereolab are once again making seven of their studio albums available as 2LP editions. These use the same remasters as the 2019 album expanded editions, cut from the original 1/2" tapes by Bo Kondren at Calyx Mastering and overseen by Tim Gane, but without any of the bonus tracks from the 3LP versions (which have now been discontinued), the idea being to make more cost-effective versions of these sought-after titles available to fans and stores. Each disc comes in a single 5mm printed sleeve with printed inner sleeves and an outer PVC protection bag. Dots and Loops is Stereolab's fifth studio album and was originally released in 1997.
