kjkenney Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 ok...so Ive been after this record for a bit now and one popped up from some Canadian company on eBay for $15. The image was from the CD cover with the hand and the words behind it...I bought anyways cuz it explicitly said vinyl release and I thought maybe they just used a stock image, and...it was mad cheap yo. I got it and its indeed vinyl, 180g in fact, but everything I find online about the vinyl release has the separate cover art with the lady in the ski mask with the blow torch that was pressed by City Slang, this one saying it was pressed by Arts and Crafts...my question is, is this a boot or real? I just can't find ANY info on the 180g press and I wondered how many were pressed with this art. May not be googling hard enough, but I'm just pretty curious since I opened it expecting other artwork. Anyone have any insight or care enough about Stars to know, hehe. thanks!

Japes Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I've been looking for this for quite some time. This is odd though, I never heard of the vinyl having that cover art. It's possible Arts & Crafts repressed it or something though, who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattalica17 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 arts and crafts is a label in toronto, it's the label they were on when that album came out. the city slang one is under license from arts and crafts. not sure how many have that cover maybe check out the arts and crafts store?

dreamover Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 It's available in the arts & crafts store. I got in the bedroom... recently too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchashorttime Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 i can't find any info on it either. doesn't look like there was ever even a second pressing. how weird. you could always message the seller and tell them that you have reason to believe it's a bootleg and let him explain to you where it's from. if it is a boot, he'll be quick to refund you to avoid the neg feedback, and if it isn't, he'll know!

kjkenney Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 I knew that Arts and Crafts was there label I just can find info on how the vinyl release was done by City Slang instead, but this mentions nothing. and it sounds freakin awesome so even if it is a boot I'm still super happy with it I'm just curious about it. and yeah the one in the store is the remix of the album unfortunately.

kjkenney Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 bingo! nice finding man, not sure how I missed that! It has a carboard sleeve so I was skeptical to say a boot, as it would be a nice one at that, but I just didn't see anything, awesome thanks man!

deafmx Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 i'm pretty sure when i saw them recently (October?) they did have the Set Yourself On Fire LP with the cd artwork. i really want that City Slang version now, the artwork is awesome.
