What their label says...

One Little Indian Direct Metal Mastering Reissue Series
Using the newest technology in vinyl manufacturing - Half Speed Direct Metal Mastering. The groove is cut directly in copper metal. Transient response is greatly improved. Stampers are plated directly from the DMM Copper Master, eliminating two of the three plating steps required for lacquers. In short, DMM yields better detail resolution and a lower noise ratio. This is especially good for long play albums, or audiophile material. All albums are remastered direct from the original master tapes and pressed on heavy weight 200g virgin vinyl audiophile discs. Each release is strictly limited to 1000 copies, housed in a plastic wallet and individually numbered. A chance to pick up classic one little Indian albums in the most lavish vinyl format available.

“2001 has failed to produce any definitive new albums. Until now. 12 magical songs” (Dazed & Confused).     
                            
“Her most intricate, romantic and sensual album yet bearing most resemblance sonically to Debut…She fascinates and thrills, she’s ace”. The Face
