Into the Pit digi w/ bonus track...

Yes, looks like Retroactive has completely sold out of their first run of Into the Pit CDs and they are going to repress it. This time around they want to press it as a digi with a bonus track. What do you all think of that?

Would the bonus track be a new song or a live or demo version of something?

Very nice. Digi-packs are very nice pressings. Adding band pictures on the book and on the back would be very nice

Ah, makes sense I suppose.

I'm gonna talk to the guys. Maybe they will want to record something completely new. We'll see. I really like how Mortal Stomp '08 came out. It's heavy and a far better recording than the original.

the bonus material sounds great. I don't know if is possible but If the promo pic would go where the RETROACTIVE albums promo are, would be nice. and put some live pics on the back of the album, instead of the red background. That way, it would be something different and more of an collectible item

Wouldn't that take the exclusivity of the CMR III comp away?

You know what, I don't know. I'm assuming a few thousand. I'm guessing between 2,000 and 5,000. I know it HAD to be at least 2,000 because to the number of copies Ultimatum sold by ourselves.

that is really good. This is a great moment for the band, since it is a great album. I which more people have to opportunity to hear it. And the digi pack will draw more people's attention to get it. I was thinking that the band should put some live songs on youtube

Should get the guys together in the studio with baked beans and pepsi and record a belching/farting contest. and there is your bonus track! I know, I am a genius.

How about a limited picture disc run, or something, with the band photo on the disc? That might be cool, along with bonus tracks.
