Velocity of Sound

I wonder if they’ll stick to their guns and only press 500. The backlash on Facebook is brutal.

SOLD OUT.

https://www.merhq.net/store/vertigo Zakk Sabbath - Vertigo (PREORDER - LIMITED EDITION BUNDLE 500 COPIES includes Signed/ Numbered Vinyl, CD, Digital Download and DVD) VERTIGO will celebrate the 50 yr anniversary of the debut album by Black Sabbath. Faithfully rerecorded and documented in its entirety! Vertigo Records issued the debut album by Black Sabbath, on Friday the 13th of 1970, and the world was never the same. Legendarily recorded in a single day in October 1969, the earthmoving self-titled set closed the book on hippie optimism with its dark magic and ushered in a brand new genre, setting the metal template for decades to come. Exactly 50 years to the date later, ZAKK SABBATH will celebrate the first chapter in the Sabbath catalog with a reverently rendered tribute, simply titled VERTIGO. Our aim is to faithfully rerecord the album in the spirit of the original recordings: live in a fully analog studio, direct to two inch tape, in a single 24 hour period. A film crew will document the process, culminating in a single album and DVD release limited to just 500 copies and delivered to purchasers on February 13, 2020. Zakk Sabbath’s Vertigo will never be available commercially or digitally in any other format beyond these initial 500, which will be delivered in a single package containing a vinyl LP, CD, digital download code, and DVD. We’ve partnered with Magnetic Eye Records, a cornerstone of the industry strongly rooted in the very sub-genre spawned by Sabbath, to ensure maximum quality. We’re asking you to join us in our continued celebration of the greatest heavy metal band of all time and the record that started it all! Take this journey with us through this project and be among the 500 faithful to receive the total doom filled package. In Sabbath We Trust — Zakk, Blasko, Joey https://www.merhq.net/store/vertigo

I emailed them.... “So the Dead Tracks packages have yet to ship. Still waiting on the records from the pressing plant - had a 3 week delay with the test presses coming back wrong. Will send out an email soon with updated information as to when you can expect the packages to ship out. Thanks for your patience and support! Cheers! The Bronxxx Webstore Mgmt.”

IDK, they showed a picture of the album when they launched the preorder, unless it was just an empty jacket in the photo.

Anyone have any shipping news? I’ve emailed the band and reached out via social media, but nobody seems to want to respond.

I got mine today. The pressing is TOP NOTCH.

John’s website has more than 600 copies available right now.

That’s what I’m thinking.

Back up to 255 when I checked. With the street date only 3 weeks away, how are they able to still to restock something that was limited to 500?

I agree this must be a small run, Bullmoose only had their preorder up for a few days, but it most certainly is not “impossible to find for under $120”. FYE is still taking preorders. https://www.fye.com/john-frusciante---empyrean-rovi.MR0001203486.html#q=Empyrean%2B&lang=default&start=1 Merchbar as well. https://www.merchbar.com/dance-electronic-edm/john-frusciante/john-frusciante-empyrean-vinyl-record?ucc=US&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_67horzA4QIVQUGGCh29lAAwEAQYASABEgKBLPD_BwE Deep Discount https://www.deepdiscount.com/goog/811481011207?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlo3o8b3A4QIVhgOGCh3E9AIKEAQYAyABEgL99fD_BwE

Almost a month later, and now they have 47.

Lathe cut. 162 copies made. http://piaptk.limitedrun.com/products/638938-luna-inside-your-heart-animated-pic-disc-7

I emailed them yesterday. They said “that the bulk” of the orders will go out today.
