Blood Music & Fuzz both have black versions as well. And BM said that that was one of 2 most popular of the 5 they have up.

Yep same here, was looking at it whilst listening the album for the 1st time and it was just too beautiful to resist!! The vinyl colour effect looks a great one as well.

Just pulled the trigger on the lovely Gruesome Twosome version. MUST STOP THERE!!

I think that on 1st listen its up there with Float Along / Oddments / Mind Fuzz for me. Really has grabbed me straight off. Tempting me to look at another variant!!!!!

So far 5 tracks in its certainly my favourite of the 4 this year

I can tell you that Lathe cut ones will usually have a lot of surface noise and imperfections. Just an inherent part of the hand cut process Am thinking of one more varrant with the inverted artwork

Nope lathe cuts don't need to be one-sided. Got a 7 inch lathe cut on both sides only this week 20!!!! OMG. Haha my 5 looks restrained in comparison!

Just backed this as my 4 & probably last variant (famous last words!!)

Yep GZ is massive! And a few of the already announced versions of this will certainly being done by them

The pressing plant used also makes a huge difference regardless of the same master being used for all

Missing from the list of variants is a Black vinyl version from Blood Music. As per their facebook this morning: "We will decide on final pressing quantities of all on Friday. As of right now, splatter & Black are the most popular, we will most likely cap the solid color ones (Red, Blue, Yellow) at this moment at a very low quantity to keep those special and very limited. But we will see how the orders continue until Friday"

You'll be waiting a long time as it seems that they are not pressing any physical release themselves. Just putting the files out there for all to do as they wish. So these are not bootlegs at all.

Probably will be the 1st to actually arrive on vinyl too as he's already getting pressing plant slots lined up!

Totally legit. If the band are releasing the files as they stated then every label in the world is free to press it if they wish. And Blood Music are a reputable label who are willing to do so. You'll find that lots of bootleg only labels will eventually end up pressing it as well down the line.

It was also on the Flightless instagram page 3 hrs before the drop

Yeah was puzzling over this, especially as TT5B is the only one that I need. As they are both 2lp the only thing that should be able to explain it would be if TT5B has some extra fancy packaging

Went to order To The 5 Boroughs and its £42 including shipping from the uk site. Not a great deal! Over £10 cheaper for me to order on Amazon.com and ship it from the US

Yes both Lakeshore & Invada confirmed to me that its just one volume

My order (for the standard LP) from Recordstore.co.uk was also cancelled because they couldn't fulfil the PO. Their mail said that the distributor had removed the item. They still have the box set up for order but I've not seen the standard LP up for order anywhere in the UK. It seems like the most badly mismanaged reissue of a major title for sometime.
