Give Up the Ghost (AN) reissues/reunion

[cactusbot]

Sharkticon. What kind of lighting set up do you use to take pictures like that?

I got my copies today. Grey and Yellow like everyone else.

Vinyl sounds great! My covers were thrashed though. Haha. Damn Media Mail.

The front window in my living room. It gets nice morning and midday sun. The background is a $1 piece of poster board from the grocery store.

[jbannon]

because he cant list it on ebay as an original

not the case.

you won't see me throwing records on ebay very often. i like to keep/listen to mine.

it's just that Background Music is, to me, an American Nightmare release. at least thats what my CD copy said.

i understand that AN and GUTG are the same band, but i feel the albums should be labeled accordingly and not changed due to reissues.

When the band were forced to change their name, all physical releases with the existing AMERICAN NIGHTMARE name were destroyed that were on-hand with the label and their distributors. They were then revised and remanufactured with the GIVE UP THE GHOST name.

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if EVR ever repressed the vinyl for "Background Music" after that first initial pressing, but I did supply them with a revised version way back when.

Regardless of how you perceive the name change, it is/was the same band. In fact a majority of "We're Down..." was crafted when the band was operating under the AMERICAN NIGHTMARE name. The name is/was irrelevant, and the music is all that will ever matter. This reality will always beat romanticism. Thanks.

Anyway, I'm glad you are all enjoying the release.

We are very proud of it.

Mine are still in Jersey. What could they be doing there for the last 4 days? Maybe hanging out with the Boss?

[blueprintforjoy]

senator bannon knows best.

you'll still be getting my money.

just not this week.

I wonder if that mystery extra press will be one of those super rare deathwish ones or maybe for the reunion shows?

[mindovermatter]

I want the fourth colors for these SO BAD. If anyone is able to secure one and would help a brotha out, I would be eternally gracious.

[trifornais]

The mystery colour is cool and all but the pink for We're Down looks awesome. Hoping it's the colour I get!

[nico]

So there are 4 colors of We're Down..., plus another color from EVR, plus the 180 gram version on black?

[richspeedowax]

i love this.

[cephcarn4]

That picture - shows actually the merch direct vinyl as well! -

[GradedOnACurve]

In Vinyl We Trust has pink if you're interested. Probably not a rarer color.

http://www.invinylwetrust.com/Give_Up_The_Ghost_American_Nightmare_We_re_Dow_p/dw114p.htm

So far the it looks like Wer're Down colors are Opaque Yellow, Orange/Gold (was supposed to be an EVR exclusive), Pink, and that mystery purple color. Am I right?

[sharkie]

Mine are still in Jersey. What could they be doing there for the last 4 days? Maybe hanging out with the Boss?

my order is part of this contingency hanging out in NJ

[cephcarn4]

In vinyl has 4 colors up - so by that i am assuming for background rarity is - grey / orange / white / green and maybe we're down is opaque yellow / purple / orange / pink ? - just a guess!! - little help jake?? haha

[dm]

My copies arrives today - what a great ending to this boring day.

thank you DW!

[makeshiftrigger]

Got mine today too. Pressing info would be sweet

[stopthisnoise]

I got 3 copies of each. Background music colors - opaque lime green, white, and grey. We're Down colors - yellowish white swirl? clear orange, and clear pink. That clear pink is probably the coolest color I've seen.

[makeshiftrigger]

I was hoping for the pink but yellow wdtwug works and gray bm was the one I was hoping for on that

Will there be an option to choose our color since it's not a pre-order anymore?

[szimm98]

Invinylwetrust.com has the option to pick up White or Green for BM and Orange or Pink for We're Down. The Merch Now ones I believe are still available too.

[cephcarn4]

Now the question is who has the opaque orange - thats the only one im missing - and the purple one that was in the picture!! - whats the deal on that one now!
