To the best of my knowledge, there ISN'T one. You have to purchase the CD/DVD and t shirt/CD only separately: WALMART SITE

And the ad contained in this weekend's paper makes no mention of a CD/DVD/Shirt all in one package.

Not really - I find it good, though, that it could possibly be two albums of 35mins or so each. That would be like two old CVH albums.

It could just be to allow for more spaces between the grooves, so to speak. It's common with contemporary vinyl releases to be doubles, especially when CDs can be 70 min+. All the CVH albums were made before CD (or in the case of 1984, wasn't released initially on CD, so recorded / mastered with the limitations of vinyl in mind - anything over 35 mins, and the grooves have to be cut closer, and something gets lost sonically).

Could depend on length of the tunes on the album, though - 'Tattoo' is the single, and sometimes you'd say the single is usually one of the shorter tracks on any album by any band for radio-play purposes - but it's nearly 5 mins long. Those first six albums were all around 33-36 mins (Van Halen I the longest ... at a mere 35:13 mins, but again, that was common in pre-CD days).

The only longer songs than 'Tattoo' they recorded in the 6-pack are: 'Cradle Will Rock', 'Fools', and 'Mean Street'. Maybe it will be an album of longer cuts. MWM and CGTSNM are both longer, too - so maybe the trend is towards slightly longer tunes now.

As a vinyl lover, I thank you for the interesting info.

I've ordered my double LP red vinyl set already...

New VH Vinyl, Help Needed

Alright, as most of us know... ADKOT is being released on vinyl. I have the entire six pack and most of the singles on vinyl. Thanks, eBay!

Where can I buy a high quality turntable? It looks like records are making a comeback and I need to adjust my home entertainment system accordingly.

Any recommendations?

Good topic ! I would like to hear various reviews myself.
I think if you are going all out analog again, gotta get a tube amp too

Grate idea. I'm tempted to ditch my iPod... sounds too phony.

Even lossless format lacks the warmth and tone of a good old fashioned LP.

Here's a site with a shit load of turntable reviews on it. The site is aimed at DJ's, so presumably there would be some quality turntables mentioned here.

You can find good turntables at most big electronics outfits like Best Buy, etc...

If you go with the older analog turntables... make sure your receiver has a true analog phono input. Today though most of the newer models offer both analog & USB outputs. I've never used one with USB output so I have no idea if there's any signal effect in the digital conversion...

I have an old late 70's Pioneer model and a mid-80's Technica... both are old school belt driven. With those the quality of the stylus was key.
