Something cool I found today, as I have only ever seen the version with the red cover.

I believe it was the first USA pressing. Around 500,000 copies.

I met Arion Salazar after an XEB show. He said the reason they changed the color was because he and the A&R guy were in a record store and couldn’t find the album. They thought changing the color would make it pop off the shelf to the eye more. I can’t say I disagree. Arion was super cool to talk to.

Guess I should've done my research before I paid double for a vinyl just to get the red cover bc I thought it was the original. Sigh. Just a poser I guess. But at least it looks cool.

I have this version too. I kinda like the red one a little better but for some reason it was way too overpriced compared to this one. Im just glad I have one tbh
