FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the first vinyl edition of the album, released in 2002 by Iodine Recordings under licence from Triple Crown Records and limited to 1000 copies. The same edition also came in coloured variants with even smaller runs.

What makes the Iodine LP special?
Apart from being the first vinyl edition, it includes "...My Nine Rides Shotgun", a song not on the regular US CD. The Razor & Tie reissue only followed in 2011 for the 10th anniversary.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal signs of play. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means the sleeve shows light wear, here a minimal crease at the bottom left. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

We have no other Brand New record in the shop at the moment. Similar titles are in our Punk / Hardcore and Alternative Rock collections.
