Crack The Skye 12" Records
I have a copy of every variant of this record. Truly an amazing album that will stand the test of time. Paul Romano did an outstanding job on the artwork as well. There were 2 cover/jacket versions, the standard and the deluxe.
Standard, front, back and both sides of the insert:
Deluxe Gatefold 2 X LP, front, inside, labels and back. The insert is different, more gold, as you can see in my "all" photo:
Test pressing 2 LP:
Test pressing standard version:
All of my copies together:
The records themselves:
Deluxe 2 X LP /2500:
Standard Black no pressing info (lots):
Red/Gold /650 sold from Mastodonrocks.com:
Red Splatter American Tour version (there were 1500 pressed between the green and the red splatter tour versions, I believe there are more green, but that is speculation on my part...I think 500 of these, 1000 of the green):
Standard, front, back and both sides of the insert:
Deluxe Gatefold 2 X LP, front, inside, labels and back. The insert is different, more gold, as you can see in my "all" photo:
Test pressing 2 LP:
Test pressing standard version:
All of my copies together:
Deluxe 2 X LP /2500:
Standard Black no pressing info (lots):
Red/Gold /650 sold from Mastodonrocks.com:
Signed copy I got from Bill:
The newest version, "baby blue". personally I think it should have been "Skye Blue"...
Above is...all my CD's
Top to bottom - left to right.
Of course the very top is 2 of the promotional folder. Released in small numbers to certain members of the press, there is 10 double sided pages with the views of each song, by each member "The Album of Our Lives". In it is a dvd with a track by track documentary by the band, which later came out as part of "The Making Of" dvd in the deluxe cd/dvd version. It is dated 03/13/09, 11 days prior to the release of the album.

Next there are 2 of the "tunnel boxes". The one on the left is a pre-production prototype of the box, there is no cd or dvd. There are a few differences to note from the released version, you can see the red around the bear is different, and the gold color is lighter. More on the back -- no bar code, no parental advisory, no run time, no Relapse logo, a Warner Brothers 50 logo and more. Very cool. i got this from Bill (thanks!!) and I believe it is the only one.
