I don't collect vinyl but it looks good, that artwork looks super cool in most forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no interest in collecting vinyls, but this one might change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JardyOfSuburbia Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I own this already on just boring, black vinyl. This year's RSD releases are pretty dull and I wasn't going to go out and get anything...but now I'll have to go hunt this down because I'm such a crazy collector.

I don't think photos of the album have been released yet, although one disc is supposed to be red and black, with the other white and black. I think the pic on Instagram photos is something different, beautiful, but sadly not available for Black Friday's record store day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually no because I probably wouldn't have gotten to the record store anyway. But damn that was pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Cuz yeah, that was a limited-run pressing they did for Hot Topic about two years ago. I have that pressing, and honestly, it looks better in the pictures. Mine is a REALLY deep red, so much so that you can't really even see the swirl unless you hold it up to a light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO look under Instagram photos, it has a picture of Billie on it and the label is his hand with Love on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Saiyaman Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Yeah, but what we should really be caring about is NIN releasing a box set of Halos 1-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Strummer Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Oh, so it's the same shitty deep red that I have on my Hot Topic copy, and the white's not so much white but kind of a light gray. Y'know, for a band who went so far out of their way to look so exact and uniform for this album when it came out, they keep dropping the ball when it comes to that album's colored vinyl.

The white one looks amazing (it's proudly displayed on my turntable) but the red one...just looks black. I've wanted American Idiot on vinyl ever since 2004 but the lack of artwork inside was a disappointment. Vinyl has more room for artwork so I was hoping for more photos/artwork. Guess I'm spoiled with my book/deluxe version. About to go compare the liner notes/art and see if there are any differences. Still, a solid purchase (28.98) but would have really like a brighter red and more artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
