piky0032 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 “The time has come for lucidity…” There have been few bands in recent times that have simultaneously grabbed the Rare Records team by both the heart and mind like Cog. They were truly iconic with their mix of reggae-infused riffs, abstract pseudo-political lyrics delivered with absolute uniqueness, and an outstanding rhythm section comprised of driving bass lines and percussion perfection that always left us involuntarily grooving along. To help celebrate the recent re-emergence of these prog rock legends, we’re proud to announce a limited edition re-release of their debut EP's, Just Visiting Parts 1 & 2, on vinyl for the very first time, but in album form, exactly how it was originally intended be released. This will include the extended original versions of "Bondi", "Moshiach" & "Paris, Texas". Re-mastered by Australia’s top vinyl engineering extraordinaire Tony ‘Jack The Bear’ Mantz of Deluxe Mastering, this release will be pressed on high quality 180g translucent red and green vinyl, ensuring the highest possible audio quality is achieved. Limited to only 500 copies, the first 100 of which, will also be signed by the band. Each record sleeve (design to be revealed very soon) will be a deluxe heavyweight gatefold cover to house your awesome double vinyl, it will have UV printing with foil numbering and contain a digital download of the vinyl master. Pre-orders for this exclusive Rare Records release will go on sale Friday, Feb 26 at 9am – only available through the Rare Records website. If their sell out tour is anything to go by, we suggest you get in quick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vool Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 When is this going to be online? Probably not buying at that price but want to keep up the option nevertheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondie Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It doesnt appear to be there. I sent them a sucky email asking to hold me a copy because I cannot wait up all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilahda Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Stoked to have secured a copy. Already stressing about when the time comes for The New Normal pre-orders haha. They better press heaps more copies of that record. *edit* One can only choose the non-autographed?Autographed copies sold out I'd say in 15min.

The Vool Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Currently around 1€=$0.65...so 60€...waaaaaaay too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondie Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 spewing I missed out on the signed copys, I think I underestimated the popularity of this band outside of Oz. Shipping to the UK was ridiculous so I just sent my copy to a mate back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Bon Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Currently around 1€=$0.65...so 60€...waaaaaaay too much! ouch! Australian releases are always crazy priced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vool Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Don't know how but when I ordered all three karnivool records shipping was $23. in total I paid 92€ incl. shipping to Germany for three 2xLP! That was great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
