Everything you need to know about the vinyl editions of Revenant's box set
of rare Beef.
General Information:
A special vinyl edition of Grow Fins has been released on Table Of The Elements
containing 6 LPs, a small poster (pictured above) and a 24 page libretto (pictured
below). The six LPs were released over a period of time as three double vinyl
sets. The vinyl set libretto features all the notes and most of the pictures in
the CD book and the CD set will not contain the poster. Each volume of
the vinyl edition contains the same libretto printed in different colours - useful
for anyone who only wants one or two of the volumes.
The vinyl edition is limited to 3,000 copies world-wide.
The first pressing of the first volume of the vinyl edition has now sold out.
A second pressing was released July 2000, and copies should still be available.
The second volume was released on 21st September 1999. It is now available
in certain stores world-wide.
The third volume was released in December 2001. After a wait of over 2 years,
volume three is at last in the shops.
Orders for the vinyl set can be placed at Diverse
Vinyl. Click on 'vinyl news' for details about ordering Grow Fins.
