there are 30 copies existing...

The definitive word.

Not necessarily; if you are a completist or buying it for the limited edition art.

Naa, It's the same design on different paper. Butthole's right, no big whoop.
Crybaby might need it though, he's the alternate version guy.

Not that I really care one way or the other, but how is that different than putting out the exact same record with 10 different colors of vinyl?  Since Burlesque printed these it also brings to mind posters.  For example, Horkey.  He puts out posters with the same design but on different color stock and a lot of the small run variants sell for multiple times what the "original" poster sells for.

I'd say the Rev would be a more definitive word as far as these go.

If Crybaby says there are 30, there are 30...no offense Rev.


...just a tiny sample of the Crybaby collection.

No offense JZS, but you don't have a clue.

No offense JZS, but you don't have a clue.

K, it's not a big deal. I'm sure Rev. & Crybaby both have good info for their #'s.....to be honest, I would only care how many there were if I was looking to get one......didn't Rev. contribute some of the live recordings on M -vs- M ?

Crybaby = my hero. Fucking epic collection

Hey,I'm not looking to start a pissing match...or am I? 
But no, I just know the numbers aren't exact because I helped out on this release.  That's all.  Yes, the stated numbers were 666, 333, and 30, but I'm saying those aren't exactly right, and there are also a few other random paper colors.  I helped gather the live recordings and chose what the two primary (non-mp3) shows should be.  I was honored to help out and it was a lot of fun.  Getting the Walker recording was a huge pain in the ass but pretty awesome to be able to successfully pull off. 
Interestingly enough, the two guys who taped the majority of the shows on this release are both dead, one by self immolation and the other by drug overdose.  As Buzz said to me, "You see what we do to people?" 
I know a lot of people bitched because these were audience recordings, but I personally like a good audience recording and I think the 3/25/06 set is particularly unique and awesome.  The whole intent was to release as many of the Grumpy's related shows as we could find and since the band didn't record any and Wes from Burlesque knew that I was way collecting live recordings he tasked me with tracking them down.  I found all the ones on the release except for the Shit Sandwich shows which Wes had taped himself on his mini-disc. The 2006 shows and Walker sets had never been in circulation before.   I only wish I could have gotten the 2007 show with just Buzz, Dale, and Jared because that set was ripping. I know it was taped 'cuz I talked to the taper at the show but he didn't want to let it out.  Oh well.

Sounds like there are 30 (at least), LebRon.    Let's just say 30-ish copies. 

[EvilNewWarGod]

I have always been curious as to the exact number myself. All I know is that I have one and I am happy enough with that...for now.

[the crybaby]

i just heard once that there aare 30 copies on yellow coardboard stock but it might be totaly different of course... that's just what i have heard.

[EvilNewWarGod]

Do the 3 different versions have different artwork or are they all the same with just different colors?
