I'd rather have a VD vinyl than yet another RR vinyl.

Neato!
Yes, I'd prefer a VD vinyl as well, but a 180 gram double lp sounds pretty rad to me. Of course, I'd prefer a DSBH instead of RR but that's another story.

Yes it is rare but not like 666 ways to love prologue
Title: Re: Razorblade Romance (Colored Double Gatefold)
Post by: The-Reaper on November 07, 2008, 01:11:17 PM
This is no compare 666 Ways To Love is the rarest HIM item when you go according to the price but it is limited to 1000 copies only Finland there are some Promos which were printed in a lower count and The Greatest Lovesongs Vol.666 limited Edition is very very rare only a few of these were made only in Germany but 666 Ways To Love is still the ne plus ultra for collectors

I picked up a test pressing copy on ebay for 20 bucks. It was being sold by some guy who sells stuff for the Bloodhound Gang. They're just plain black vinyls with plain white labels on 'em. Pretty neat though.

I may have to get one of these, Im not a fan of vinyls, but these are pretty cool.

Daedalus, I think Shakes got one of those for free a few years ago.  I'm thinking '05ish.  I'm pretty sure there was talk of RR coming out on vinyl along with the Love Metal demos back then from Jimmy Franks.  Might have even been '04.  I can't fully remember at this point.  Yours have 15 tracks or 14?  I remember him posting pictures of it and counting gaps in the grooves (if you've held a 12" album, you know what I'm talking about) it looked like his had 15 tracks.

Having not frequented the boards in months, I had no idea this was even coming out. It was a nice surprise when I saw it in the window at my local Hot Topic.

All in all it's a pretty nice vinyl appearance wise, but I still haven't given it a twirl yet.

It's the 2 LP version from '08. It's 14 tracks spread out over 4 sides.

Deadalus,  i found another copy of that RR test printing you got on ebay
probably from the same seller, because price was also 20$

but was not available out of usa, and seller never reply me on 2 weeks before other collector "buy it now"

and about Shakes, if i remember well he sold his copy to one finland collector

seems like good shit, but i still prefer my finnish gatefold sleeve vinyl from 2000.....
anyone got any idea of the value on it?
Title: Re: Razorblade Romance (Colored Double Gatefold)
Post by: S. Carnage Esq. on August 08, 2009, 03:02:27 AM
Considering my local Hot Topic still had a few the last time in went in there, probably not much.

it's only worth something if u decide to sell it. (learned that a long time ago.) otherwise its "sentimental value"

but to answer your question. It's not worth anything now. You would have to wait a few decades most likely when there are less of them floating around. If your is still unopened and in near mint condition, you might have a chance

I could be wrong, but it seems like HIM items aren't selling for the high prices like they used to. Incidentally this is good for me; still a few items out there that I'd like to have.
Title: Re: Razorblade Romance (Colored Double Gatefold)
Post by: Daedalus on August 11, 2009, 12:37:57 AM
New items aren't, but older things, especially Love Metal singles have shot up for some reason.

Post by: stigmata92 on August 18, 2009, 07:13:11 PM
Yeah I noticed HIM items haven't been selling for much as they used too, I saw a HER razorblade romance go for cheap on ebay. Still a lot of the stuff on ebay is crazy priced such as 666 ways to love and GLSV666 german limited edition.
Title: Re: Razorblade Romance (Colored Double Gatefold)
Post by: LonelyRoad on August 19, 2009, 02:49:41 AM
theres tons of fake HER's out there.

but things are a lot cheaper now cuz they arent in high demand anymore.

Yeah those cds seemed fake because a few of them even had the wrong song lists lol.

i dunno...sure the going rate won't be known til i actually sell it :P
but during the nine years that have passe since it's release the only copy i've seen on ebay is in my posession.....if i'm not too mistaken it was also limited to roughly 1000 copies and only distributed in finland....and used for promo other places....

not too sure when the right time would be to depart with it.....but it is only collecting dust in my collection still....
