Yup, they have special editions all of their LPs up but they are pretty pricey $45 a pop. I am hoping a standard pressings of each will be released around the same time. I am looking to grab Far Beyond Driven (without the terrible Rhino alternate artwork) and maybe Cowboys From Hell.

Is it Rhino’s alternate artwork? Every LP on discogs (minus South Korea) has the same artwork.

A thousand apologies if my reply was confusing, this was Pantera’s terrible originally planned artwork, the label balked and they instead issue the album with the artwork most are familiar with, which appears to be photo negative of a drill bit boring a hole through a human skull. This...

The other artwork that was not approved by the label, that instead shows a much larger drill sodomizing some unfortunately soul. This...

was later included on some reissues of the album’s vinyl release, this included the most prevalent reissue in the US and Europe produced by the record label, Rhino.

I hope this additional explanation eliminates any confusion my original reply may have caused. If anyone needs me I will be drilling a hole through my skull as penance. Thank you.

I just picked up a Cowboys From Hell Rhino reissue for $24 on Musicians Friend's eBay page. They are doing free shipping if you buy two items so I grabbed a cool Ludwig drums t-shirt to trigger the promo. Doubt I will ever find a cheaper copy

Thanks for the background, definitely had no idea and at first glance I was like "no way that's a drill going into a....backside"... unsettling to say the least but I guess this is Pantera after all. What's their lead singer been up to lately? I remember him being a pretty shitty dude overall but haven't heard of him making any big media splashes in the past few years or so.

Any canucks order direct from Intervention? What is the cost of their shipping like? If reasonable might pre-order this and The Church (even though I am pissed that they stuck bonus tracks at the end of side 3) @Turbo @Mather @Urbs_hott

I didn't because it's like $30. I got Girlfriend through @marshall along with Electric Warrior 2LP 45 in order to save on shipping. (It really didn't save any money because that is one heavy package...)

Just checked. $53 USD, sorry nope. I know it is 2 heavy duty 2xlp. But for that cost I don't want to risk what sort of damage USPS may inflict on the box.

I was just going to say that shipping went way up all of a sudden last time I checked. I don't think it was that crazy when I pre-ordered The Church when it was announced.

I ended up getting an AP Doors ST and Matthew Sweet 100% Fun from Elusive Disc last week. Was pretty pricey, but considering how much the Doors AP ST goes for in Canada and the fact that I could get the Matthew Sweet at the same time, I went for it. The cost was less than Intervention, but still in the 40's, so not great. I'm pretty sure I'll get dinged with customs though. I splurged, although I'm sure I won't regret the records.

Shipping charges are thankfully what keeps me from going to far down the AP/MoFi rabbit hole
