Thrice - Illusion of Safety (/200)

This repress is courtesy of Banquet Records in England. Not sure why they did an exculsive pressing for this album but nevertheless, it's awesome.

This label however sure did take its sweet time putting this out after pre-orders went out months in advance. Just glad it finally came, and the blue really goes with the album in my opinion. I thought this was going to sell out as its the most limited version of the second pressing, but I guess not, still 100 or so available in the store.

Next up is the same album, but an exclusive pressing for the U.S store Hot Topic. (/1500)

Thats now 7 copies of this record, I wonder if they will press more.

Next album is Dustin Kensrue - Please Come Home (/475)

This is the second colour of the second pressing from Enjoy the Ride Records.

And the complete collection (for now)

A while ago, I purchased a test press for Miles Away - Endless Roads (/5). It came with a regular sleeve from the label but I wanted it to be a bit more unique. Long story short, the guy who did the Dustin Kensrue test press sleeve, created a sleeve for my Miles Away test press after some back and forth emailing. I wanted it to look like the inner lyric sleeve that came with the regular pressings, and I think it turned out pretty good.

Compared to inner lyric sleeve from the regular pressings:

And finally, the masterpeice that is the Incubus - HQ Box Set (/3000)

This thing is huge and was a present from me, to me. Love this band to death and when I heard they were putting out a package which would contain vinyl and other glorious content, I knew immediately I needed to put some cash aside to make sure one was mine. Who am I kidding? This was my reaction:

The boxset was created from the live shows Incubus played in an artspace in LA to probably no more than a few hundred people. They filmed it, shot it, recorded it, drew it, painted stuff, hosted instrument clinics and a heap of other wildly awesome stuff. Apart from x 4 double LP vinyl included in the boxset, it contained a coffee table book, x 6 cds, DVD/Blu-Ray, art from the band, signatures and a tour laminate.
