I would assumed the non-gatefold version was the 1st press as this one seems a lot harder to find? + from a record label point of view it would make sense to produce a low cost vinyl in non-gatefold form rather than a gatefold edition first?
As for the PREMIUM DELUXE BOX SET, I think the idea is to look at this as a piece of art rather than a couple of CDâs and a snow globe. $500 US for a limited edition interactive 3D sculpture based on the artwork of a #1 Linkin Park album is not a bad price when you think of it that way. With only 500 in the world, donât lieâŚyou would feel pretty good owning it.[/quote]
I think your right Matt about the Non-Gatefold being the 1st press. As we have talked about in the past it is made with âlighterâ material than the Gatefold version and could have indeed been a test run issued to people in the Music Biz. Iâm surprised another version is coming out, wouldnât this make it the 4th issue technically? (Non-Gatefold, Gatefold, RSD, and this new one).
About the âDeluxe Editionâ, Iâm not much of a fan of remixes, and well I thought the statue looked cool, but the idea of marketing so limited for a price of $500 which as mentioned is a persons monthly salary or a good chunk of there money. I would rather battle it our an Original EP or something xD. I donât think they will sell out, even if its limited to 500. Theyâll go down in price, Warner is just trying to pocket in money from LP seeing as they are a pretty big band. Hell the ATS Deluxe Editions went for about $150 if I remember correctly and I seen them on eBay go for no more than $70.00, even one with a BIN price of a whopping $30!
