I believe it's been well covered in here (I think it might even be the point of this blog), that I will buy multiple versions of a record, be it colors, different covers, pressings, etc...This still newish release from Arizona's own The Elders "Blind Rage" on King Of The Monsters is one example of that. You may (or probably not) remember a blog awhile ago on here where the King Of The Monsters and I attended the Elders tape release show (sparking a tape as a viable format blog).
At that show The Elders and KOTM hatched a plan to release Elders debut record. At the end of last year Elders headed to Tucson to play Mark Beef's Go Nowhere Fest, records ready but covers weren't, so these cleverly LTD versions of the LP were put together.
An obvious nod to The Feederz, with an earily lookalike to Mark Beef, Beefstock Version, LTD 16 of 20...
Yeah grip tape on back will fuck up the records you put it next to, which is why mine is in a thick plastic laser disc sleeve...
Here is the insert for this version...
A few weeks later Elders went on tour, and still the covers weren't done, so a tour version was put together...
Not sure how many were done for this tour, as they aren't numbered, or I haven't found it. Great cover though, came out really good! A different back as well...
And the insert, slightly different from the Beefstock version...
Finally the regular covers were done...
Back of Reg Ed...
Here is the LTD cover.
It says of 100, the KOTM site says of 108, either way.
Back of LTD. Ed...
Reg. & LTD insert...
With a nice special note...
And the other side...
And the vinyl itself, all versions black and except the LTD. to 100 (or 108) version which is white...
For the record, my wife hates this shirt, which might make me like it even more...
Please go and take a look at the KOTM webstore...
