Hey there,
We´re a Finnish non-profit, whose mission is the preservation of extreme metal culture.
We´re co-releasing a maudlin of the Well 4xLP + 7" Deluxe 200-gram Vinyl Box Set. Their records were written while in the course of astral projection (out of body experiences). Their CD´s have been out of print for a long time, and there are no plans to repress them.
Our limited deluxe vinyl box set has been available for pre-order for only a few weeks, and we´re very near selling out. There will be only 300 in total, and we have LESS THAN 40 COPIES LEFT!
There will be no repress afterwards, and only a VERY limited amount of barebones black LP gatefolds afterwards, with none of the extras (no 7", no box, no mp3 downloads, nothing).
The box set includes "Bath" and "Leaving Your Body Map" on 200gram colored vinyl. Also: "The Secret Song" on 7", a signed poster with new artwork by Toby Driver, deluxe hand-numbered box, motW guitar picks, mp3 download cards, and much more.
Here´s a promo for it:

i won't delete this thread because its about maudlin of the well. the CDs WERE reissued a couple years back by dark symphonies. in a limited press. and i am kinda wondering why you would go to the trouble of making a limited-edition boxed set of an obscure band and not include all three albums. but maybe that would be too expensive or something.

Scott, the release is at the wishes of Toby Driver. These two albums were recorded and released at the same time (as well as The Secret Song). This is in conjunction with the wish of the band. My Fruit Psychobells will be released separately next year.
I do believe the last issue of Bath/LYBM was around 2005/2006.
Dark Symphonies owns the digital rights and has no plans to re-release them on CD. And they have never been available on vinyl.
We are re-mastering them. And making something special for a band we love.
That is why :)

good job. i remember when the reissues came out i contacted dark symphonies and asked them if they would send me promos so that i could write about them for the metal magazine i write for. basically, i wanted to hear the bonus tracks. i already owned the albums. they told me not to bother because they were gonna sell out anyway!!!

Thanks! Guess we're in the same boat as Dark Symphonies then. Should sell out very shortly. Of course, we're in the position of having a few copies left to move and think that other fans may want to know about this before it sells out and skyrockets in value (as happened with their CD's).

Hey all,
We managed to get rights to re-release maudlin of the Well's albums on CD. "Bath" and "Leaving Your Body Map" are coming out with one bonus song each, as well as the never-before-released "Part the Second." 300 copies of each, with an option to buy one of 75 signed by Toby Driver.
Pre-orders of the CD's go live on March 1st at 10AM Finnish time. The CD's will be shipped on April 13th.
We'll also have 100 copies each of "Bath" and "LYBM" on black vinyl in gatefolds (none of the box set extras).
