Is it a gate-fold or is that pic just showing the front and back of the same album?

I wish they were doing both the first D albums.

No I do not think they are gatefold covers. I believe that is the back and the front.

  That's what I was thinking, either way it looks very cool.

So Ultimatum and Deliverance? Are these pretty popular bands these days with you kids?

Kids?   Everyone else who has posted on this thread is older than you. Especially Driven, he's 100!!!!

Actually I am not a huge fan of Deliverance. I like them OK, but that is just it. To me they are "ok". However, when I saw Weapons would be released on Blue vinyl I just thought it looked really cool. Same with Ultimatum, I like them OK and have 2 of their CD's. I listened to Heart Of Metal on Spotify and there are some good songs on it but the vinyl release only has 10 songs instead of 18. Again, me being just a casual fan I don't think I will miss the 8 tunes not on the vinyl. The 4 new songs are good and I like One For All. 

I am more of a Melodic fan (Barren Cross, Stryper, etc) but that won't stop me from enjoying these vinyl releases. 

I ordered them seperately. I ordered the blue vinyl first then a few weeks later ordered Ultimatum on black vinyl (was 5 bucks cheaper than the green). 

And, for those that are Vengeance Rising fans Bill has less than 30 copies left of Human Sacrifice on picture disc. I'm not really a huge fan of VR (I like to be able to understand the vocals) so I decided not to get it. He does it have priced at $20 now to get rid of the last few. I know someday I will regret not getting it but there are other things I want instead.

I need to get the black vinyl copies of each so I can play them while keeping the blue & green ones for show

if you are going to order you better order quick! The colored are almost out and if you preorder you get a free CD of the vinyl version which will not be available after the preorder.

I asked Bill about the numbering. I told him I wanted # 300 of the Blue and he said the numbers were on the INSIDE so you don't know number you are going to get until you open it. So I could get # 1 or 300, I won't know til I get it.

Just a joke... I know who they are and it seems like I keep hearing about the vinyl releases.

Yeah I figured you were joking....so was I.

Bummer, releases have been pushed back until August 12th. Apparently vinyl is a booming business and the company pressing them is backed up. 

But the good news, for those who haven't ordered, you have another month to get them in!

They have some other things coming up for reissue on CD including Deliverance "Stay Of Execution" and "Released Upon The Earth" from VR.

Good, this gives me time to order the regular black vinyl for both

The good thing about vynil is that the artwork is enlarged compared to CD. and that´s it. I´d never spend a single penny in Vynil these days.

I agree with this, except that if I found a classic record in a shop for cheap, I'd pick it up.

I don´t even have a vinyl player to play them anymore.

I have never liked vynil. In my old days as a headbanger I would alwyas prefer k7 tapes.

Vinyl is all I buy now. I will occasionally buy a cd if something catches my eye in the bargain bin. For me it's vinyl or iTunes. Then I rip the vinyl to my iPod.

Vinyl shipping now! And it appears to be SOLD OUT! I believe there may be some black vinyl left but it looks as if the colored vinyl is gone. Glad I preordered! Can't wait to hear these!

Came back in from Pittsburgh last night and found a package! Woo-whooooo!




Here are the CD versions


I left the shrink wrap on the outside. I took out the paper sleeve (I hate those) and replaced with a poly-sleeve. Deliverance I have number 14. Ultimatum I have number 8!

Are you talking about using a poly vinyl sleeve?  I thought I remember someone telling me those were bad for records?

No, these are antistatic, antiscratch. Maybe some are bad but these are not. Paper sleeves can leave a lot of dust and can cause surface scratches. I replace all of mine that don't come with polylined sleeves. Some people don't like poly sleeves because they fold up. That's why I picked the ones with the rounded bottom but to me they are more annoying than the square ones (I gotta use these up!). 

Here is some good info on them, including a video.

The only DOWNSIDE to these new releases from Roxx Records is that I haven't been able to play them yet! I had to go to work and only had time to open then and take a few pics. 

There are also several forums on the net about paper vs. poly and poly clearly outweigh the paper sleeves. 

I also have many that are paper with a poly-lining inside but they are a bit thicker and sometimes do not want to slide in very easy.

As a side note, I have Paradise Theater by Styx which was released in 1980. All of these came with a polylined sleeve and after 33 years and MANY, MANY plays it still doesn't have a single scratch on it.

Here's another helpful video explaining the different types of sleeves.

Wow, I didn't realize their was such a science behind protecting vinyl!
