i am a sucker for limited edition pressings of CD’s. or jap/US imports. this obsession deserves an entry of its own, so i’m just gonna talk about those of the ‘tallica. apart from the load and reload CD’s, i buy my ‘tallica CD’s on import – jap ones for justice and the black album for their extra tracks (err… i listen to so what on my jap pressing of metallica, not garage frickin’ inc, thank you very much), and american (on elektra records) for kill ’em all to puppets. there is no difference, still sound the bloody same but hey, that’s what being a collector is all about.
so when they decided to sell their latest opus in a coffin-shaped box, i had to buy it. got it off amazon for a little under £80. what’s in it? the CD, of course. and these:
if you’re looking for a review, check out krenmaut‘s (i agree with him – yes, i’ve relented and finally like the day that never comes. oi, sue me lah). like the limited edition st. anger CD, there’s a DVD called making magnetic, but this time, instead of a jam sesh, it’s pretty much the making of... if you’ve watched the dismal version of the band in some kind of monster, they look totally different this time. i felt that the intensity of their jams/recording seshes was somewhat reminiscent of the black album period (see year and a half in the life of…). then there’s the demo. just check out the alternative titles!
what else? a tee (see the previous entry), a dog tag, four guitar picks (which i will not use!), a black flag (which may go to the jamming room behind the drumkit) and a code for a free download of material from metallica.com.
happy? what do you think?
ah… gua sikit pun tak jeles (*cringe*)
DVD tu ada bagus ka? Berapa running menit? Lu rasa worth it ka ini keranda? Yang mungkin kecur probably DVD tu dengan limited t shirt.
cayala!!! ni lagi best punya package!!!!
dvd lebih sejam (i was painting window sills sambil layan dvd tu on and off) – every song on the album ada sedutan. according to the ‘tallica site, keranda di australia jual di kedai2 digirama (http://www.metallica.com/page.asp?id=600019), tapi malaysia lagi gempak. ada 14 retailers! termasuk victoria sg wang and kemaman music centre (trengganu? cayaaaa!). harga malaysia kalau jual rm400 siapa la mampu (ntah2 murah..).
worth it? aku dgr derang dah 22 tahun. ye la, kalau the coffin was rare like a ltd run of 1000, it’ll worth even more.
nevertheless, this is worth every penny.
hik hik… huuaaAARRRGGHH!!! saya mau… bole la… bole la… 😀
