when did Blaze and MNE release his first EP on vinyl? It’s a 12in picture disc. I saw one on eBay.  

They never officially released it, at least not yet. It’s been one of those things that they’ve been throwing in “mystery” boxes on their site, the same as the Mostasteless vinyl that they gave out a few weeks ago.

I think they also might have possibly been selling it on the Mostasteless 20th anniversary tour that they just got off of but I don’t remember them having it for sale at Fright Fest in Detroit.

Definitely was a pleasant surprise with my MNE black friday  order.

Speaking of, I’d like to really know what comes in those things…..

They sellout with the quickness too, just wondering if anyone ever actually purchased one.   

I bought the one that they were selling mid-November of this year. It was advertised as an audio mystery box. I kinda got clued in by people online about what would be in it though so it wasn’t a mystery to me when I bought it. It came with the 20th anniversary vinyl reissue of Mostasteless, an autographed flat, a Mostasteless hat pin, a ticket to Twiztmas and a green rubber bracelet that said “Twiztid” on one side and “Serial Killaz” on the other.

Assuming they don’t have the rights worked out, probably not. If you can prove that they are selling it.

So they are using the “Mystery Box” to cover up the fact they’re selling stuff they don’t have the rights to? Would that hold up in court?  

I’ve seen a lot of artists do similar things.  Like putting out an album consisting entirely of stolen beats.  Some of them just blatantly sell it, but I’ve seen artists run a deal where they sell a $10 sticker (which is how it gets filed on the internet and with their taxes and whatnot), and then throw in a “free CD” with it.  Seems to work for the most part.

I can’t knock that hustle at all. The fact that I got to have one of my holy grail albums on vinyl (Mostasteless) makes it alright in my book.

I mean the quality has to be shit right?  

It would indeed be shit since Twiztid does not possess the master to Mostasteless as I pointed out here regarding the Mostasteless vinyl that is being given away.

Vinyl sourced from a cd will ALWAYS sound like shit. You need at least an original analog master or a 24 bit digital master. A cd is equal to 16 bit which is terrible.

I went into further detail in my first ever post here on faygoluvers.

This is the Black Friday vinyl that was shipped for free to those who spent $75 or more on their order. It was originally to be released earlier in 2017 but was discontinued because MNE doesn’t have rights to the music, Psychopathic Records does.
*The exact number of how many copies were made is near impossible to find out. The sticker read “x/1500” but some came with multiple stickers each displaying a different number, as others came with no sticker at all.

I got it with my black friday order.  Along with a Davie Suicide vinyl that I didn’t order and wasn’t mentioned.  As expected, the quality is indeed meh, but it looks great
