Description
In honor of Only Theatre Of Pain's 30th birthday in 2012, Frontier Records decided to give the album a bit of a face lift and a fresh mastering job. The first thing you may notice is that the album has a different cover. This new version sports the drawing and lettering done by the late Rozz Williams (singer/founder of the band) 30 years ago overlaid on an image of parchment. It looks very cool and I like the lettering and the better drawing on this new version better than the original one. The back cover is laid out very similar to the original version except all the song titles are written in a different script and the photos of the band members are larger and more round. The photos are cleaner and reproduced better as well.
Inside this new cover is the LP that is pressed on opaque purple vinyl. The labels have been redone as well and are black and white. There is also a two-sided glossy insert with all the lyrics to the songs and some photos of the band members. The first pressing comes with a limited edition bonus 7″ on black vinyl that contains unreleased versions of “Cavity – First Communion” and “The Lord’s Prayer”. The 7″ comes in a plain white paper sleeve. These versions are not on the CD edition of the album. The LP was remastered from the original tapes and there is a bit of a sonic improvement over the original pressing. It isn’t a huge leap forward in sound quality as the original sounded great but the difference is noticeably better. Everything sounds a bit clearer and the bass lines stand out a little more.
I bought this new, listened to it only once, it's been stored safe and secure ever since, Near Mint (NM). You won't find this find this edition cheaper anywhere else.
I also have other auctions, if you win more than one, I'll partially refund you on shipping, once your package has shipped.price rating
