It exists. I had it in my hands the other day at a record fair for 25 €. I was in doubt about it and I do not buy counterfeit releases.

It was a sealed copy and the OBI strip said it was orange colored. The seller told me he got it from "a guy he knows" which was no official distribution channel.

There is a Discogs entry for a black edition. I could not find the barcode or the label's catalog no. on any official sources on the web though.

Runouts have (probably faked) Optimal Media matrix codes (BL4157201 A1 / BL4157201 B2) as well as a (well-faked imitation of) Chris Bellman's "CB" signature on the runout. Check the images on the Discogs entry below.

On the release history and in the reviews a user states "it is unofficial edition, i contacted the Label for info... and confirmed THAT! it is Unofficial edition not produced by them...." https://www.discogs.com/release/20567197-Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age-Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age

It just seems it is a very well-made counterfeit release.

So, I guess it turns out this isn’t a counterfeit. Everything here is identical to the official release. Great news that Chris Bellman cut it AND is only the 11 tracks.
 

Pre ordered an orange copy! 

After a bit of hashtag searching on Instagram & Twitter, I managed to get a copy of Burn the Witch sent to Australia. Arrived last week. Was pretty easy after thinking I'd have zero chance!

My black copy is pretty damn good. Would recommend a copy of it! Ordered with Australian pre-order, so not sure what pressing I have. Playing on Rega RP3 and Marantz gear.

Edit: just checked, it is the US copy. Just playing Phantom Bride as we speak. Sounds huge.

$50 (AUD) + postage.

Received this today off ccmusic. Is indeed the Kevin Gray/Steve Hoffman mastering and sounds sublime. So happy to finally have this for a decent price!

Not the dude with the pink copy. Gottem.

Pearl Jam - Live at Benaroya Hall.

Have a white copy. Absolutely blows me away every time I spin it. One of the better mastering jobs IMHO.

I'm getting this Oops, Website Error message too....anyone having luck ordering?

I too sold Deloused. I don't regret it though, as I think the mastering and general OP quality was pretty shite. Keen to hear what people think of the MOV version?

I have Led Zep 2, REM - Document, Beck - Seachange & Pixies - Doolittle. All sound incredible. Quiet and mastering is A+.
