Description FOR SALE is Torche – Meanderthal first pressing in purple vinyl limited to 400 copies (of this purple colorway) released on Robotic Empire Records 2008/Robo 072 (distributed by Hydra Head records). This is my personal copy and I bought it when it first came out in 08'.. I also have the CD and I ended up listening to that more than the record so needless to say the actual record has only been played twice on each side. The outer jacket is super cool with its fold out poster and vinyl slot. Later re-release pressings did not have this elaborate jacket design. Record in Excellent+ condition/Jacket in Excellent+ condition read this about this release from the Robotic Empire website>> Robo 072 – Torche – Meanderthal 12″ (Released Summer 2008) {The first press was messy for vinyl counting, so we don’t have an accurate count on how many were made. We estimate it as follows (*roughly * 3200 copies total): 1000 picture discs, 800 on black vinyl, 400 on yellow vinyl, 400 on purple vinyl, 350 on white vinyl, 200 on orange vinyl, and 50 blank label test presses (all given to the band and Hydra Head). The second pressing wass more organized, with pressing quantites as follows (2000 copies total): 200 on ice storm, 200 on rockslide, 400 on cherry burst, 400 on lizard skin, 400 on magma and 400 on tapwater. A third press of 230 black vinyl copies were released on 11/08/09. Those first three pressings had the crazy deluxe, mega-fold-out die-cut double-gatefold jacket. Following that, a fourth press was released 06/21/11 of 2000 more copies in a simpler gatefold jacket: 1200 on black vinyl, 200 on silver, 200 on orange-in-orange, 200 on “yolk” (yellow-in-clear), 200 on silver and 200 on “Cuban Flag” red-white-blue tri-blend.
