Relapse: Limited Edition Speed N' Spikes 7" Series

I forgot to post about this the other day:

Quote :

Speed N' Spikes is a series of five limited-edition split 7" releases from ten of the best underground thrash metal bands today. Volume one features all new and exclusive material from recent Relapse signees TOXIC HOLOCAUST and Rochester's BLUDWULF. This split 7” is available now and includes the TOXIC HOLOCAUST track "City of a Million Graves" and BLUDWULF tracks "Wasteland / Interceptor" and "Necromancer", which can be heard now on each band's respective MySpace pages.

For more information on the split, please access this release page.

Future editions will also feature new and exclusive material from ABIGAIL, ABSU, EARLY MAN, NEKROMANTHEON, RAMMER, RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER, STRIKEMASTER, and WITCHAVEN. Each edition will be on colored wax and strictly limited to 1,000, never to be repressed again. The Speed N' Spikes series will also feature collectible original artwork from Relapse's Timothy Leo with each volume making up a portion of a comic strip.

Seems like a pretty cool deal. I bought two copies of this first one. They're cheap ($5 each), so I'll try and trade/sell the set when it's complete. Looking forward to the one with Early Man.

i have volume one. plus i love Rumpelstiltskin Grinder, Absu, & Withaven so i'm looking forward to the next editions.

I was thinking about ordering a couple things from Relapse. I'll have to see about picking up these as well.

Damn fine item, I got a Yellow & Red splatter one, for some unknown reason my record player is gone tits up and I'm buying alot of vinyl !
.

Man, I really need to buy a record player. Someone needs to invent a record player with a USB connector. Haha.

They make those.

I got one for Christmas. They sell 'em at Best Buy for about $130 bucks, but I've seen them as low as $99 online (without shipping though). The one I got isn't as fancy as the one Spectre showed.

It's a basic turntable that plugs into the USB port. With the software included, it puts the tracks into your computer, then turns the them into mp3 files, which can then be burned to a cd.

Unfortunately, I have yet to put mine to use. I've had it since Christmas, but haven't had the time to really sit down and play with it. Every time I say "Ok, this Sunday, I'm gonna make some music", something comes up. Once I do actually get it up and running, I'll post some kind of review if you guys are interested.

I believe I can do that with mine, but I have to buy a special adapter. On the package, there is a picture of a cassette with a long cord that goes into the turntable. I take that to mean I can take cassette audio as well, but I have to get that special tape adapter to do it.
Maybe I'll futz around with it tonight since I don't give a rat's arse about the SuperBowl.

Sweet! I guess I should have figured someone would do it, but I'd never thought to look before. In fact, I never even thought about a record player that plugs into a PC until tonight. I definitely have to buy one! I have so much vinyl I've never listened to.

Back to the original topic, there will be good news announced on this split series soon!

I picked up Vol. 1 recently. My copy is the yellow and red splatter like Locky's. Maybe all of them are this color. I will be picking up the others when they become available.

That's got some footage of Early Man recording their song for the upcoming split. It sounds like a great song!

Ordered my copies too, thanks.

I pre-ordered Vol. 2 of this series earlier.

Just ordered my copies, too. Gotta buy that damn record player soon.

Cool records! So much great stuff being release. So little money.

Really wish I would have gotten in on Vol. 1. Oh well!

Order Vol. II. Grrrr!!! Too bad Vol. I is sold out! HEY EYESORE!!!!

Received my copy of Vol 2 in the mail.

Now, Eyesore, what can I do to get your extra copy of Vol. 1 off of ya?

Haha. Well...what do you have to offer? I was going to buy doubles of them all and then sell the set. But I might be willing to work with you. =)

I'll email you a trade list.
