Chapter Zero

Over the years, there have been quite a lot of limited sleeves made for Revelation releases. For some sad reason, I made a list of them at some point, and I counted 18 of them that are not mentioned in the Rev discography. Here's one of them - the record release version of the Primal Rite 'Dirge of Escapism' LP.

This one stretches the definition of 'limited sleeve' a little. The limited bit is just an obi strip, albeit one that just folds around the spine of the regular sleeve.

This is numbered out of 50 copies and (obviously) is on black vinyl, although I have also seen copies on red vinyl. No idea what the color breakdown is on the 50 copies.

The record also came with some other gubbins - two different posters for the LP, a poster for the show and a couple of stickers:

This record was released back in January 2018 and it already feels like a lifetime ago in hardcore terms. This band has since broken up and is probably already lost in the sands of time. Shame, as this LP is really great.
