For the first time on vinyl, "Ghastly Funeral Theatre" coupled with the classic "Tragedies" demo from Japan's leading extreme metal export SIGH. Cult, epic Far East black metal on 180 gram heavy vinyl LP, strictly limited to a one-time only pressing of 300 hand-numbered copies on transparent jade green vinyl. These killer slabs of wax come housed in a 350 gram, reverse board printed jacket featuring the entire un-edited Ukiyo-e illustration from Utagawa Kuniyoshi. To further retain the feel of Japanese culture, all copies come with a Japanese style Obi strip.For the amazing cover art, we took the initiative to track down a museum in British Columbia that owns an original Kuniyoshi Ukiyo-e print from 1855, and were able to obtain a first generation, museum quality slide scan of this masterpiece.
To retain the classic, "Old School" feel of the original 1997 release this LP is designed after the original CD with attention to detail even down to the typeface, as well as exclusive band photos and exclusive 2009 liner notes by Mirai Kawashima.
Included in all 500 copies is a huge, luxurious 24" x 36" (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) poster of the Kuniyoshi artwork.
