ohiopride Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 i noticed that people have been mentioning that the clear purple is the rariest, 6 copies, but it has been on ebay a lot lately. after reading the ebay craziness thread and compiling the discography for the casket lottery, i took the liberty of contacted my bro dan @second nature and see if he could shed some light on this. he wrote back with the "ACTUAL PRESSING INFO". this is not fake in any way, because it comes straight from the source, if you don't know who dan is, he's the guy that does everything @ second nature recordings. those of you that have the CLEAR DARK PURPLE version of this and have been told it is out of 6 copies, well, that is not correct, it is the 2nd pressing, the rarest color of all the pressings is BLACK, this is limited to 6 copies. so here is the breakdown with the description That whole thing was a little confusing since the purple’s look black at a glance (you can only really tell if you hold it up to light), but I did just go back through all of the invoices for my entire catalog and updated all the pressing info to also include black vinyl instead of just color and according to the invoice black is indeed the rare one, not the purple. joe. thanks again for all the hard work and effort. dan Vinyl History: 1st Press: 705 Purple 302 Peach 302 Orange 302 Blue 706 Grey 352 Brown 253 Pink 6 Black 304 Green 2nd Press: 550 Lt. Orange 288 Slate Blue 262 Translucent Dark Purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestigmachine Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Even though the info is coming straight from the source, I still find that hard to believe....or at least puzzling. When I started to collect this release, the black one was one of the very first ones I got, so it wasn't very hard to find. And not that I've been paying too much attention since I got this, but I seem to recall seeing this on eBay quite a lot. But hey, why not do a VC board roll call. I've got a black one, and I know xrecordx also does. So that's two. Who else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I have a dark purple one, which I thought was black for many years before I held it up to the light. I bought it at a Hot Topic back in 2002-2003, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qskapunk Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 hmmmmm...... i've also got black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qskapunk Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 i gotta say i'm still slightly confused, if there are 262 of this clear purple where are all of them? and i recall seeing the updated pressing info within the last few months and i just assumed it was a typo listing the clear purple as /262 in the second press but apparently thats the correct info still seems like more than 6 people have the black too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 oh also if there are only 6 blacks...this image has 2 of the 6 then lol I think one of those two is the dark purple, which looks black when not held up to the light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Joe. I know there are people who have way more complete collections than I do though. But then again, I only really started collecting HWM hardcore about 1,5 years ago, so I think I've come a long way in a short amount of time.
