Mars Volta on vinyl

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I got a question for MV collectors. I purchased Deloused, Frances, Tremulant and a few picture discs when they were all new and I have not opened them. There are no specific reasons I have not opened them, other than I am a geek and like them that way....

Anyway could someone help me determine if they are limited editions, i.e. colored vinyl, based on catalog number or other indications? I can see that my Frances the Mute 12" single has a teal-ish color because a small edge of it sticks out of the sleeve. Any help is greatly appreciated and it will take more than some OPEN THE DAMN THINGS to get me to do so.

I've been perusing eBay and some of these are going for a hefty amount. Not that I am looking to sell anytime soon, I think we all know how it feels to own something we think is valuable in some way. Plus I consider them the high point of my extremely meager vinyl collection.

	It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.
