Type O Negative, "Bloody kisses" (1994). 30th anniversary Suspended in dusk version; green marbled vinyl.

Second record today featuring since deceased singers. Raising my cup of coffee to Peter Steele and Layne Staley.

Great taste! I've been hunting for this version, it looks wonderful.

I bought it recently from the official TON online store, it might still be available there. I had to pay overseas import VAT but it's worth it!

Now, if only World coming down would get a rerelease, it's pricey as hell on Discogs...!

Yeah I'd like to avoid that import tax if I can. And same, I'd love World Coming Down on vinyl! I'll finally find out if the legend of "Skip It" being different across the different formats is true.

Ha, yeah — "Skip it" is a mystery to be solved!

According to Discogs:

NOTE: Contrary to popular belief, a rumoured "cassette version" of track 1 "Skip It", allegedly containing the sound of a cassette being eaten by the tape player, doesn't exist - cassette versions of the album used the standard CD version of the track. This was also used on the 2011 LP release of the "None More Negative" boxset - the 2019 reissue used a re-recording designed to fit the vinyl format, which consists of the first few seconds of track 2 "White Slavery" looping as if the vinyl was skipping.
