Hey collectors – we’ve got some news for you: In keeping with MASTODON tradition, we will offer a new, Limited Tour Only color vinyl edition of CRACK THE SKYE. As always, these sell out fast so be prepared. Also, April 17, 2010 is National Record Store Day and MASTODON will celebrate with special vinyl reissues of BLOOD MOUNTAIN in both standard and Deluxe Editions, the later pressed on double 45 RPM discs on super heavy 180 gram vinyl housed in a grand gatefold sleeve. Naturally both will feature new custom art from Paul Romano. These too, will not last long.
As previously reported, the limited “ROYAL EDITION” of CRACK THE SKYE (album on disc along with a second disc containing the complete album score housed in gold foil embossed Digi-book package with all new gold and black logo artwork designed by Paul Romano) is very close to becoming extinct and gone for good, along with all the previous limited edition packages and vinyl pressings. Get ‘em while you can. Keep an eye on the website for future offers.
