VIA PRESS RELEASE | Type O Negative, the Brooklyn-based Goth Metal pioneers known for their dark humor and satirical lyrics recorded six studio albums for Roadrunner Records from 1993–2003.
For Record Store Day Black Friday 2011, Roadrunner released the legendary None More Negative 12LP box set in a limited run of only 1,000 copies that included the six Roadrunner studio albums on translucent green vinyl with a set of Type O bumper stickers. The set quickly sold out and to find a copy now on EBay or Discogs usually requires a mortgage payment. Eight years later, Run Out Groove, in partnership with Roadrunner Records, has decided to reissue this legendary vinyl box in a limited edition of 5,000 copies worldwide.
Re-mastered for maximum fidelity, this deluxe box set has received a modern make-over. The twelve individual LPs will be pressed on 140g green and black mixed color vinyl at Record Industry and come in six 380 gram direct to board gatefold jackets. The set features a newly designed and band-approved hard outer slip case, as well as a fold-out poster, insert with credits, and a backstage laminate exclusive to this set.
As if that weren’t enough, also included are the albums World Coming Down, and Life is Killing Me—both currently unavailable on vinyl, as well as the original and controversial cover art for The Origin of The Feces (Not Live At Brighton Beach). With World Coming Down previously only available on CD, the first track “Skip It” was edited and updated to replace the sound of a skipping CD with that of a skipping LP to keep in line with the band’s tongue-in-cheek creative touches. When asked about the box set and its re-release, keyboardist Josh Silver stated, “There’s a fine line between clever and stupid.”
Shipping around September 6th, the None More Negative box set is available to pre-order now.
