this was a dinked edition exclusive, limited to 500 copies. the cool part about this record isn't the record itself (though it is pretty cool), but rather the extras it comes with. you rarely see artists/labels have this much fun with a pressing and i want to see way more of it. it comes with a jigsaw puzzle, lyric book, and the inner sleeve doubles as a color-by-numbers and band-themed crossword puzzle. bit unwise of me to put this one first because everything else will look boring in comparison
lord how i want this record. the cheapest copy on discogs is a cool $400 though so... ouch!! no other variants of this album live up to this one. it matches the album cover perfectly and the (triple!) gatefold is.. fucking massive. i have a high res copy of it and it's 158mb. there's so much detail in it!
side A is The Wizard and the Seven Swine, pigsx7's 22-minute debut single. side B is some bonkers etching work. both the cover art and the etching art were done by drew millward, who's worked with the band a few times throughout their career. i have a shirt with his poster art for them and it's so cool :)
the song was originally put out in 2013 on a split LP with the cosmic dead. 7 years later, they remixed it and repressed it on etched vinyl.
