Van Der Graaf Generator’s 1976 album World Record is available for pre-order as a 2CD+blu-ray deluxe set

The band's seventh album was their last to feature what is considered as the classic lineup of Peter Hammill, Hugh Banton, David Jackson and Guy Evans, before their 2005 reunion. Banton would depart the band in December of '76, with Jackson following in January 1977.

The new reissue comes as a 2CD+blu-ray set with new stereo and 5.1 Surround mixes by Stephen W. Tayler on the blu-ray, alongside the promotional film for the single 'Wondering'.

The new stereo mix is also on CD 2 and the first disc contains one bonus track: 'Part One (Approx 35% of) Meurglys III, The Songwriters’ Guild' (an edit, which was the B-side to 'Wondering'). 

The blu-ray element is region-free and this is released on 27 June 2025 (original release date was 28 March) via Esoteric.
