[From the booklet:
Hljóðsmíðin var hljóðrituð vor daga 1995, hljóðblönduð veturinn 1995 til 1996 í hljóðverinu sem hvarf, Hvarf.  Tónjöfnun og uppsetning Vonar var gerð í Núlist byrjun sumars 1997.  Hönnun og umbrot útlits umslags gerðum við heima á því herrans ári 1997.  Lokahönd er lögð á Von.
[translating as:
Recorded in spring 1995, mixed in winter 1995-1996 in the studio that disappeared, Hvarf.  The editing and arrangements of Von were made at Núlist at the start of summer 1997.  Design and layout of the packaging was done at home in 1997.  The final hand is placed on Von.

This is a later pressing, presumably from 2004 according to the SONY DADC number.
