Shackler's Revenge Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Unfortunately for you, it's most probably a bootleg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyL Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 We all know there are copies out there. It sure would be nice if at some point we all could buy it. And its not a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun n' Games Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 How come we didn't know about this earlier? And how come it's not available on Amazon?What sense does it make to bring out a special edition if not even the most hardcore fans know about it?

RussTCB Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I noticed that it had a hole punched in it which leads me to believe that it's a promo or record label copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alternative booklet that nobody knows where to buy? That was sighted somewhere, somehow, or so they say?As you can see, many question marks here.

Stiff Competition Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I saw it(the red hand one) at a record store in L.A. one day a couple years ago(maybe less) or so and didn't buy it thinking that they had just released other covers finally, so I didn't think much of it. Too bad, I could of made a hell of a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sascha Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 I bought three copies the day the album came out, only to find myself having to buy it yet one more time in case I ever want a decent cover artwork and correct lyrics along with the album? If I ever find a copy that is. Seriously how fucked up does it get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 You can probably pick it up on the streets of Shanghai. Most likely be a pirate copy. I guess that's sort of fitting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
