The Hybrid Theory EP on vinyl made this an INSTANT pre-order for me. Can't wait to get this bad boy in! Lots of goodies here.
I like the MS and JH shirts. I'm also glad they're offering the more affordable vinyl bundle, which I'll get instead.
As soon as I saw what was offered in the Super Deluxe set, I just had to get it. Amazon also have pre-orders up but not sure which versions these are as on the UK version, one shows the Super Deluxe photo but the title states it's the vinyl version. So Amazon will need to clear this up for people. Also, the 20th Anniversary merch on the store is awesome. I already picked up 2 t-shirts - absolutely love the metallic gold 20th Anniversary logo version! So happy right now.
I kinda wish this was the first time I ever heard She Couldn't, would have given me the chills. The mix sounds amazing though!
Damn I was hoping for the full version of Technique lol. But yeah it's great to finally hear the Xero demos in better quality.
You're too kind. I do wish HT EP had a CD tho. But damn, I want that LPU Rarities and Forgotten Demos CDs. I'm curious if some of the labels of "Xero Demo" means it will be Mark on the vocals and not Chester.
I might buy it if only the band's websote would let me get through checkout. The site demand is insane.
Wuhu, that sounds amazing. Forgotten Demos + LPU Rarities. Finally the Pictureboard demo and She Couldn't (without the static noises) I already have the HT EP in digital/flac though. I'd love to enhance my physical Linkin Park collection with a CD version of it though. Too bad :/
So does that mean all the samples could finally be cleared? I am super duper extremly F'n excited.I preordered that thing on Amazon . Although part of me says I'll regret that in October LMAO Also I do find it odd that the HT EP is being reissued as a vinyl but not as a CD. But I don't wanna complain Can someone refresh my memory tho? Which LPU releases did the LPU B-sides originally appeared on?
Not sure where you're getting the prices from, but I'm showing on the LP website and Amazon that the Super Deluxe box set is only $199.
Mike just said on his twitch stream that the mos def sample was cleared, so I'm guessing the other samples have been cleared as well.
This is amazing news, totally out of left field for me. Definitely need to grab the super deluxe!!!!!
The only thing that irks me is that the "small" vinyl voxset has a B-Sides vinyl but the super deluxe doesn't.
