Did Travis die or quit?

That’s a winner, ordered. Thanks man!

Thank you for the heads up. I’ll keep trying. Thank you.

I’m getting a 404 error on that Sparklehorse link and I don’t know much about VMP. Is it sold out? Do they sell out or do they press enough to satisfy preorders?

Originally in the photo, he was holding the test press like it was a paper plate and he was in line for supper. Nothing but thumbs and fingers all over the vinyl. The description Also said there was 12 copies made because the matrix number was 00012. His description have been edited multiple times. I’m not even sure he knew he only had 1/2 of the album at first.

Sure, it’s only half the album... And yeah, it’s just the instrumental version, but like most rare test press editions, it’s worth $50,000! https://www.ebay.com/itm/174376095046

I wonder what the final press count turned out to be?

I felt the same way about the price, but after you sell off that poster......

Clutch is going to do a live stream concert and then pressing the audio to a double LP. The only way to get the vinyl is in this $99 bundle. The bundle also includes a shirt, signed poster and a link to the event. Clutch’s merch store reported that the band will only press enough to cover preorders. The deadline to order is August 10th. The band held a contest to have fans come up with their perfect set list. Clutch will pick a winner and perform it via live stream, then press it to vinyl. https://www.clutchmerch.com/collections/doom-saloon-ii/products/doom-saloon-ii-autographed-collectors-bundle

I’m a big fan of lots of their bands. I wonder what will happen to all of the label’s inventory?

That was fast!

They’ve got Purple now. https://mer.lnk.to/ZakkSabbath-Vertigo

John Davis and Brandon Fisher’s current band, The Lees of Memory are taking preorder’s for their new album now. They’ve got a few rock solid LPs under their belt.

If anyone is interested in knowing about the first 500 copies they sold... “We know you're waiting anxiously, and wanted to send an update on your deluxe Zakk Sabbath "Vertigo" package. To begin and reassure you that things are still moving forward, here's a photo of the Vertigo 7-inch test pressing that arrived this week, which we've listened to (sounds amazing) and have approved for production: But you might be asking, "Wait, a 7-inch? What 7-inch?" We'll explain: What you were originally promised with "Vertigo" was an LP, CD, DVD and digital download, with the LP signed by the band and numbered between 1 and 500. We've actually expanded things to create something even more impressive and special since you were first out of the gate and have waited this long. So now, your Zakk Sabbath Vertigo package will be a limited edition Vertigo boxed set, comprising the following: Deluxe gatefold Vertigo LP 180-gram vinyl 36-page book with exclusive photos from the recording session and the band's Feb 2020 Birmingham performance Complete Vertigo album on CD Complete Vertigo album via direct digital download Special edition "Behind the Wall O' Doom" documentary DVD featuring behind-the-scenes studio footage and exclusive interviews about the importance of this classic album (you'll be blown away by who's interviewed!) Bonus 7-inch featuring the song "Evil Woman" (originally included on the UK edition of the first Black Sabbath album) on Side A and a custom art etching on Side B Deluxe collector's box with gold-foil logo and individual hand-numbering Next steps are finishing up the printing of the LP jackets and sending to the band for signing, after which we'll get everything assembled and on its way to you. We know you've waited longer than expected, and hope the extra goodies in your limited boxed set will help you forget about a few short months of delay when you've finally got this titanic package in hand! All that said, there's one more item to address, a decision made by the band following the process of making this record. Here's their brief statement: Adding to the band's statement, we agree that limiting it to only a few hundred copies doesn't do justice to the enormous impact Black Sabbath's first album has had on our lives and careers. After all, Magnetic Eye's Redux series was created specifically to curate and share some of the most important albums from rock and metal history, and nothing embodies that spirit more than documenting and sharing the re-creation of the first Sabbath LP by Zakk Wylde. Bottom line, neither the band or we could live with ourselves if we didn't share it with every fan of the slowest, heaviest, bluesiest metal on earth.

The Lips webstore now says their limited edition copies will also have holographic eyes .

Cheaper if you order over seas (from the USA). $48.48 grand total. https://bellaunion.ochre.store/search/query?q=American+head

Do you have a link? I can’t seem to find it. Thank you.

It’s his major label debut, Columbia Records, owned by Sony. Im sure they’ll press tens of thousands of them.

$37.03 after taxes and shipping in the USA. That’s poor form.

It looks like the images people put up on eBay when they don’t Actually have a real picture of the item.

With all the great album covers/art Omar usually has with his releases, this cover art seems really, really weak. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing it though.

I’m excited. Get ready for a long wait!

Looks like they’re only taking pre-orders up to May 8th, and then that’s it.

Same with me. I’m extremely disappointed.
