This is direct from Universal Records in Europe and the most legitimate vinyl reissue from the band at the moment. We already got one copy in and it's highly recommended.

Updates from Heron

"Lovecats shirts have been delayed but pre-orders should be shipping very soon! Nightmare shirts have been restocked as well.

The 30th Anniversary Book project is coming along very well and the shipping deadline has been extended just a little. You can also see scans of some of the beautiful pages that have been sent in already.

The CoF meet at the Beehive is STILL on, but we will be meeting several hours earlier so that we can get our socializing started well before the Awards ceremony. The starting time has been moved from 6 pm to 2 pm so everyone should come on out and say hi!" (Thanks Heron)
