Melvins 1983: Thunderball LP *SET OF BOTH EDITIONS*
Sold out.
Our latest outing is the AmRep edition of (the) Melvins 1983 recent album, Thunderball featuring Vopid Manes & Ni Maîtres. Originally released a few months ago on Ipecac Recordings, we've got our own limited edition with new sleeve art by HAZE XXL & the record has it's own vinyl colorway.
HAZE riffs on Mackie Osborne's original sleeve art & makes it even goofier. yet more apocalyptic.
You get both sleeve variants in this set. Cover art is by HAZE XXL & silkscreened by Boxy Mouse
The first is the "Conventional War Edition" with 4 colors of ink on the front, 3 on the back of our standard cardstock sleeve. This variant is limited to 200 copies with the edition number hand-stamped on the back of the sleeve. (The booklet does NOT come with this edition.)
The other is the "Nuclear War Edition" & features 4 colors on the front including day-glow & exclusive to this edition. Back of sleeve has 4-colors too, including glow-in-the-dark elements. The sleeves on this edition are hand-numbered & signed in pencil by HAZE XXL & is limited to only 75 copies. The booklet IS included with the Nuclear War Edition.
Edition #s match with this set.
The same vinyl is used for both editions & is is clear deep red & lightly marbled with black.
Catalog # is IPC290LP

Something we should also mention in case it's an issue. These releases are handmade & may have slight imperfections. We have the sleeves custom made, then they're shipped to us through the meatgrinder gamble that is UPS. From there, they are run through a screenprinter anywhere from an average of 6-9 times & then are all hand stuffed with the actual records. All in all, that's a lot of handling & so there's a good chance that they're not going to looking like a gleaming shrink-wrapped sleeve from a machine at a factory.
We say this nearly every time & maybe one day it'll work, but PLEASE place everything you want into 1 ORDER.
If there are multiple orders placed from the same customers we will either combine them with no refund on postage, or they will be sent out exactly as placed.
C'mon, it's hard enough processing a couple hundred orders quickly without this AND responding to all the emails requesting combined shipping and refunds. This delays EVERY order.
