Notes

Limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies, including a lyrics sheet.

The cover art for this pressing is a collage of two different Michael Whelan paintings, reproduced here in black and white.
The majority of the image is taken from "Trantorian Dream" (1983) and the inset of the swordsman is detail taken from "The Sailor On the Seas of Fate" (1976).
"Trantorian Dream" was previously used as cover art for Isaac Asimov's novel "Foundation's Edge".
"The Sailor On the Seas of Fate" was previously used as cover art for Michael Moorcock's Elric novel of the same name, and later by Cirith Ungol for their album Cirith Ungol - Paradise Lost (1991).

    Heads up to those looking for the vinyl, there is a well done bootleg/replica in circulation now that is passed on as original and thus it's easy to be scammed.

      When can this album get an official repress? Like seriously, it's about time by now.

          In an interview given to Horrible Eyes, issue #3 (Kthrss' last interview ever?), released back in '03, Drakh vowed never to have "666" repressed or reissued on LP. Probably the reason NoEvDia only did the CD version some years after the initial release and then kept reprinting it in subsequent years. They initially thought about doing only a 100, but in the end settled for 200 copies of the LP. It sold out from the label within a couple of months or so after the release. Not all copies came with the poster (black print on white background), but majority did. All copies came with a lyric/info sheet. All copies are hand-numbered. For those in doubt, to confirm, front cover is tiny bit blurry as well as the background image on the back cover; band photo and song titles are sharp and clear.

              Way to go with repurposing the book cover to the Foundation Trilogy.....

                  I have seen pictures of this release with an A4 size"poster" (white paper, black print) - did this really come with all releases. I have not seen that in mine or my friends copies?
