Entombed -- Left Hand Path

So Earache is re-releasing this monster on vinyl next month, but I can't find any information for preorder on either the N.A. or the Europe webshop.

Does anyone know anything about this? Has it already sold out?

Curious about that, too. Haven't seen any preorder (or really any news about this reissue at all for that matter). This doesn't seem like something Earache would sleep on though. Test pressing only went back to them this week I believe.

That Bolt Thrower album was made available for preorder back in October, I think. It looks like it is supposed to be released the week before the Entombed record and it sounds like they ordered a second run of black vinyl, because the demand was so high.

I saw on ebay that the release date was February 25th...Earache just this past week re-released Symponies of Sickness and started pre-orders 2 weeks or so before the release date, so I imagine it'll be a similar situation for this.

edit: It's already up on
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Left-Hand-Path- ... 928&sr=8-3 I ordered the Symphonies reissue through amazon uk,I belive it was actually cheaper than getting it through Earache but you don't have the option for fancy shmancy colored vinyl.

Yes, but Earache has made it no secret that their LP reissues are just CD-sourced pressed to wax.

I dunno about these others, but the SOS repress is supposed to be remastered from the original tapes in "full dynamic range" which SHOULD mean it won't be loud and compressed. Of course my friend sells me his original gatefold AFTER I buy this damn thing, so when it arrives I can do some comparisons.

So is Realm of Chaos, by Bolt Thrower. I've heard competing claims about this FDR recording business. I'll be curious to see if you hear a difference.

why would earache source some reish from cds and others from the og tape? shit's unacceptable. if the tape exists, you have no excuse. last thing i want is an LP that sounds like a CD. get the fuck outta here.

"The main reason for using the CD to make the wax is not the convenience but familiarity. Many thousands of copies have been sold in the 2 decades since release, so that is the sound that fans are used to, we'd get complaints if the vinyls sounded any different I think."

FUCK. THAT.

My eyes just rolled so hard I got a glimpse of my brain. What the fuck is the point of reissuing the RECORD if it's not the same source of the original?? What they're doing is closer to false advertising than a fucking reissue.

THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE EARACHE

In their defense, that was for the first 4 Morbid Angel re-issues that were done about a year ago. For all I know, LHP could be straight from the tapes in Petrov's mom's basement.
