Just found out from Demon that they are doing 1500. Not a limited edition, just a run. Hmm, this is quite a lot for a niche band. I reckon collectibility might be compromised. I wonder if it might take 3 years to shift this amount.
Any idea how many will be produced?
Hooray, for once a decent UK price!
