The record/CD is Island 814 042-1 (LP) or 814 042-2 (CD) as stated at the end of the piece. Where you buy it from is entirely up to you.
If you don't use YouTube, you will have difficulty following and taking part in the Album Club, unless of course you own the particular album in question.

I like it, maybe one for the purchase list. I would have to listen to it again when I have a little more time. Thanks for the recommendation.

I watched a bit of the backwards one for a lark. The images are still amazing. Someone in the comments asked whether if they watched this one, would they unwatch the original? Maybe Audio Al could try it? What did interest me was how recognizable the music is backwards. I would have known it instantly. It's a bit like that phrase with the letters of words mixed up into the wrong order, but which you can still read easily.

Marmite for me I'm afraid.
Later I watched one part with video from Youtube and it appeared not so tedious. The whole thing as pure audio just does not do it for me. 2/10.

A brave and inspired choice Barry. A recording that will provoke a response one way or another so that's gotta be a good thing right? I feel it's one of those things that works so much better with it's companion piece i.e. the film.
However I Might well to put it on the headphones for another listen alongside 'Music For Eighteen Musicians' on a long walk this weekend. Go on Audio Al, give it a go you might like it.. Thanks for the heads up Barry
Cheers
