Into the Pit digi w/ bonus track...

Yes, looks like Retroactive has completely sold out of their first run of Into the Pit CDs and they are going to repress it. This time around they want to press it as a digi with a bonus track. What do you all think of that?

It's MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!

I guess this is what all bands are doin' this day. It sells more albums, I guess.

First i've heard of it. Awesome.

Just found out about it myself. Might not happen immediately. Might be a few months down the line.

I think the original pressing will be unique now. Those who want one better get one quick.

Would the bonus track be a new song or a live or demo version of something?

Very nice. Digi-packs are very nice pressings. Adding band pictures on the book and on the back would be very nice

Matt wants the new version of Mortal Stomp we recorded for the CMR III CD.

Ah, makes sense I suppose.

I'm gonna talk to the guys. Maybe they will want to record something completely new. We'll see. I really like how Mortal Stomp '08 came out. It's heavy and a far better recording than the original.

Well......2 bonus tracks never hurt anyone.

This is true.

the bonus material sounds great. I don't know if is possible but If the promo pic would go where the RETROACTIVE albums promo are, would be nice. and put some live pics on the back of the album, instead of the red background. That way, it would be something different and more of an collectible item

Wouldn't that take the exclusivity of the CMR III comp away?

Yes it would. We recorded the song for the CMR III comp, but I sent an MP3 of the song to Retroactive.

How many copies was the first pressing?

You know what, I don't know. I'm assuming a few thousand. I'm guessing between 2,000 and 5,000. I know it HAD to be at least 2,000 because to the number of copies Ultimatum sold by ourselves.

that is really good. This is a great moment for the band, since it is a great album. I which more people have to opportunity to hear it. And the digi pack will draw more people's attention to get it. I was thinking that the band should put some live songs on youtube

Should get the guys together in the studio with baked beans and pepsi and record a belching/farting contest. and there is your bonus track! I know, I am a genius.

Pssssss. We could do that easy! That sounds like a typical Ultimatum practice!

awesome! i was rocking out the cd in the car and wifey said to turn it down because she does not like to feel the vibrations down her spine! hahahaha man, i love the cd so much. play it all the time!!! Ultimatum rocks big time and my dream show to see them opening up for metallica!!!!! they are a perfect fit!

How about a limited picture disc run, or something, with the band photo on the disc? That might be cool, along with bonus tracks.

Ya'll need to email Retroactive and let them know you are interested in VINYL! I've been pleading for it for months.
