Title: Razorblade/Deep Shadows two pack?!?
Post by: Daedalus on September 28, 2007, 06:24:31 PM
What in the hell is this?

Amazon is selling it, and it ships from them, so it couldn't possibly be a fake...could it?
HMV.co.uk is selling it too, so it's legit. What in the fuck?

I just ordered it off amazon uk. It ended up costing me about 15 bucks. Let's see how this turns out!

It was cheaper. US amazon was 15 dollars before shipping.

I'm surprised Sony/BMG isn't advertising it more? They seem to like milking HIM for every cent they can.

It get's worse. I just found an re-release of Uneasy Listening Vol 1. It's available from UK sellers.

I'm not sure exactly what a slider pack is, but I'm thinking it's something similar to a digipak or the UK box ALSN.

Hmm, maybe they are just putting a cardsleeve with the "new" cover?

Unless you're a hardcore collector, I'd say pass on this.  It's just like that limited 3cd box set, nothing really special about it :/

Guilty as charged. Dammit.  :(

I've seen cds like this for loads of different bands before. It isn't just a HIM thing. I think it's a cheaper way of getting 2 albums together probably aimed at people who have just started liking them and wanna get hold of the earlier albums quickly and simply.

As for the UL1 isn't that just the 1st edition cover version rather than the main one that a lot of people got? Or did I miss something when i looked at the link?

It's for a re-release version. It actually only comes out next week. It's some "new" slide pack thing. Whatever that is.

Got the two pack in the mail today. It's just the two albums in regular cd cases with a crappy cardboard sleeve on top of them. It'll end up like the 3 CD box set. No one will buy them and then they'll be extremely hard to find.
