Spoiler

- The steelbook illustration is by Krzysztof Domaradzki.
- The artwork for the slipbox was used previously for the Oldboy vinyl LP. It was co-ordinated by Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive, and illustrated by Laurent Durieux. The director of Oldboy Park Chan-wook wanted one of our editions to feature this artwork so we reached out to Milan Records and illustrator Laurent Durieux. You'll be able to see more of the artwork since parts of the top and bottom were cropped out for the vinyl LP.



Old mock up

The 1/4 slip is pretty nice too actually.

I'd imagine with pretty high print runs on both fullslips this'll be fairly easy to get in the morning?

I won't be able to get one until Friday/ sat and for some reason I don't think I'll have an issue.

Or with the bay

I noticed the more intelligent ninja's choose Fullslip B. Just like me from day one.

And i can't stop thinking about the inner artwork of the Quarterslip. Those scissors should have been made into a lenticular sleeve!

OP updated.

I think they're all great, will be going for the 1-click, but Type B is my favorite.

Ha! I noticed that after I posted. Can't argue with that.

You're right. My I.Q. is fairly low and I don't like slip B. I'll go with either A or the 1/4 slip.

1/4 slip is not very imaginative - just a continuation of the art. I'm getting the purple slip.

I respect your opinion but I just don't understand the attraction for the poiple slip.

The nice thing is, you don't have to. Just as much as i don't have to understand why you choose for type x or a. To each their own. As long as you are happy with your own choice. There is now wrong choice ;-)

 

[Sigill]

I will be going for the 1/4 slip and type B! I like type A but I don't wanna triple dip on this.

I won't be pre ordering when it goes live tomorrow morning
It's not a priority release for me and I have my main monthly bills to pay on Monday

If it's still available in few weeks time I will decide then if I get this or wait till I see in hand photos

If it sells out before that I'm not that bothered if I miss out

 

[davhyl]

Your post sounds like a trailer advert lol

Now that you mention it, it reminds me of the beginning of Tropic Thunder

Same

 

[Flloydo]

I was hoping we would see package shots.
But I might do the same as @paulboland & @StifflersDad and wait it out a few weeks
Although I love the art used on the vinyl, knowing my luck the finish won't be great and the purple one will look epic in hand

Also I have to be very careful with my funds at the moment!

$46 1/4 slip - that price - no go

Reply from Plain to comment on Korean FB states type B is a glossy & pearl particle finish. Should look much better in hand.

 

[nekromantik]

Im going for B also.
Will be on the train when this goes live so cant order until hour later.
