roadmonkey Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Here's hoping the non die hard version is a little less expensive.. Although the clear records do appear to be sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Package looks incredible. Price looks unaffordable, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodmusic Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yes, there will be a few more versions, each one cheaper than the last. Take your shot at what you can afford. We'll be happy for the cheaper tiers to go as well, so that everyone gets what they want and it isn't just a mad rush for the *best*.

morfiend Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I think the price is very fair considering what you're getting. I'm hopeful I'll score a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the die hard limited to and what other options/variants will be offered? I'd love to get the die hard but it's likely out of my price range.

mysterygirl Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi, I was wondering where the song Hell War came from. We found what album Idom came off of but haven't been able to track down the origins of Hell War. Was it released on anything previously? Thanks for any info!

bloodmusic Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Idom / Hell War is the full name of the track! Die Hard version is 150 copies. The rest will be posted this week on our FB.http://www.facebook.com/BlooodMusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Looking good How do you plan to ship these - records inside the sleeves? This must weigh a ton - a huge possibility for splits. edit: is there a possibility of a local pickup? edit nr 2: Just remembered, that last time you used Itella Smartpost (to Estonia), so that is a good option too. Definitely safer than regular post or even some couriers. Thanks! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodmusic Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 You can pick them up locally, man ! Don't think there will be SmartPost this time.When they are available and ready, just let us know, and we can refund the shipping cost. We will hold onto it in advance because we've had to chase down people for shipping costs before, and it's a nightmare ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodmusic Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yeah, estimating around late June/early July. Plant says sooner but want to be on the safe side. Wouldn't rule out the potential for August. But I certainly hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodmusic Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Here's the last massive post on the matter. Thanks for bearing with us :]Strapping Young Lad "SYL" LPUpper left + center panel: Gatefold Jacket exteriorLower left + center panel: Gatefold Jacket interiorUpper right + Lower right panel: Printed Inner SleeveStrapping Young Lad "Alien" LP2 Left panels: Gatefold Jacket2 Right panels: Printed Inner SleevesStrapping Young Lad "The New Black" LPUpper left + center panel: Gatefold Jacket exteriorLower left + center panel: Gatefold Jacket interiorUpper right + Lower right panel: Printed Inner SleeveStrapping Young Lad "The Book" -- a look insideThe book will be cut to the shape of an LP gatefold (approximately 12" x 12"). Shown here are 4 sample pages from the interior.The text is a professionally-edited culmination of Devin's thoughts over the years about each period in SYL's career (categorized by album). For you super fans, the meat of the text could look familiar, but it's because these are Devin's definitive thoughts which've been built over long periods of reflection. Included with the text is a brand-new foreword with Devin's final thoughts on the band, his life, and this entire retrospective.Also included are approximately 75 stellar and private images, supplied by Jed Simon -- most of them never seen before. The photos have been taken by the band's main live photographer - Axel Jusseit - as well as "The New Black" photographer - Omer Cordell - and a handful of others, including Jed himself, Gene Hoglan's sister, SYL roadies, and fans.

roadmonkey Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 + $50 shipping. I got me a splatter set. Didn't care about the shirt or poster in the die hard set. Also at this point I think like 90% of the Die Hard sets are gone, so you may need to get on this first thing if you want the splatter or possibly the di heard set.
