Absolutely perfect MINT and UNPLAYED copy of the extremely rare DELERIUM RECORDS Blue vinyl version of the third Porcupine Tree 'The Sky Moves Sideways'. It includes a large poster of the cover art. Hard to find in good condition this one has been sitting untouched on a shelf since the day it was made in 1995 and is effectively the last Delerium Stock Copy!
This copy is from Richard Allen's personal collection and has been in storage since it was made. Richard ran Delerium and signed Porcupine Tree in the early 1990s managing them up until 2003.

THE SKY MOVES SIDEWAYS
The Sky Moves Sideways has been compared to Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here because of their similar structure; both albums have extended pieces at the beginning and end, which are the halves of a single song.
The track "Moonloop" is an edited and overdubbed version of a 40-minute improvisation by the full live band recorded at the Doghouse studio on 28 June 1994; a section unused on the album featured a drum beat that was used to form the basis of "Stars Die."
The Sky Moves Sideways was the first Porcupine Tree album to be released in the US (albeit with an altered tracklist), and the first on which Porcupine Tree was actually a band rather than simply a pseudonym for Steven Wilson. This transition took place while the album was being recorded, so two of the tracks - namely "The Moon Touches Your Shoulder" and "Dislocated Day" - are performed entirely by Wilson, while the full band appears on the remainder of the album (including "Stars Die", a UK single which was added to the US version of the album).
