Cilvaringz - I [Vinyl Special Edition]

Dearest Corpers,

For those interested, a company in France reached out a while ago to release a vinyl and cassette version of my debut album. The vinyl is now available for order here:

Yes these fuckers used OUATIS in the tagline after I told them many times not to but anyway, for clarity, it definitely isn't OUATIS and because they were so late releasing it due to lack of graphite for vinyl it's no longer a 15th or 16th anniversary version but a weird 17th one.

That said, it's still coming out. Limited run of 1000 I believe on vinyl and 200 on cassettes.

It's been completely redesigned for this release, both vinyl and cassette as well as a new tracklisting more based on how I originally wanted to release the album with some original song versions and ones I didn't manage to put on at that time. This is more or less how I wanted it to sound.

Most of it's been re-mixed and mastered.

So... if you want one, link's above. And I hope you enjoy.

Blessssss

Thank you for sharing.

Cool

Cool bro ima look into it.

Bro, was about to hit you up on this one. Was wondering what the status was.

Aight i definitely wanna hear your original vision for the album but don’t have a vinyl or tape player …cuz my car’s record recently player broke and also cuz it’s uhhhhh 2024. So how do I go about hearing this? I’ll obviously pay but not if you tell me I gotta wait 88 years or some shit homie

Damn, I really want it but I;ve just bought new Yamaha and I ain't got money lol. I hope it won't sell fast!

Sheherezad and Death To America have been taken off, and in their place are the final versions of Energy, You'll Never Know, the original unreleased versions of The Stone, The Gun & The Book, Razasharp and The Saga Begins with a hook from RZA. The Caravanserai skits are a bit different with different production from Mathematics, there's a new skit with Ninja Starz on it, and a previously unreleased version of Man, Woman & Child as bonus.

The cassette tapes have a different Caravanserai skits from the vinyl I believe.

Anyway, a true collectors item I'd say.

Really. For me it's a really beautiful love song and it really stands out. Plus the singers are really good on it and the guitar solo!

That would make a nice collectors item. Color for the vinyl is dope.

Copped. Will go nicely with my CD version.

Where the tape version at though? Will it come at a later moment?

Bought 3 copies, but still hate you Silverings for the shit you did with OUATIS.

I love you too RGU2002

My boy who works with the company posted this re: the cassette tapes -

Public release will be red tapes, not silver. These are test copies.

The silver tape looks beautiful.

Any release for CD or digital or Spotify?

I know cassettes are popular again but I have no idea how people are listening to cassettes nowadays

Not a last Walkman made by Sony, but with flat battery yeah. Released in 1988. Such players should be professionally repaired, otherwise - there is no chance to listen cassette tapes without any problems.
More info of this model: https://www.walkman-archive.com/gadg...05_701c_v3.htm
Fully repaired in Japan (about $500): https://www.ebay.com/itm/204700125394

not sure... i feel like those who've spent this money on something special and limited, should retain that value. What yall think?

Even though I bought it doesn't mean I wouldn't like to have it on my Spotify. CDs or cassettes or even vinyl records are often just collectibles nowadays

I would be happy to buy it digital on Bandcamp or iTunes so I could listen to it, or on CD, I have the original version on CD. I don’t own a cassette player, but I wanted it to add to my collection.

dude got ran off boxden a couple years ago
