That's a really novel & well-executed idea. :shock: The design side of all your releases thus far have been exemplary. Is this a first or are there other examples of die hard ltd edition obscure Metal puzzles out there?
Thank you!!!

Yes, there is one...in 2021 Auarecords released a similar box in limited copies for a reissue of an Electric Frankenstein album (don't ask me what,not my cup of tea...) ,the second one is Rod Sacred and the third is the new album just released by Rain https://auashop.com/product/?rain_puzzle
I really appreciate the thought that's gone into tying together all the releases artistically with the border style whilst retaining the individuality of each act with the central sleeve art itself. It's often so disheartening when labels just throw together releases with little consideration over the finer details, so the kind of care that's been taken over your records doesn't go unnoticed by obsessive geeks like myself. Great job.
Re the 1st puzzle box set, I'd assumed that you were referring to the original Italian Electric Frankenstein from the '70's, but no, i see it was the '90's American Punky Rock 'n' Roll band. Despite some of the great art they've had on their covers over the years (Basil Gogos, Frank Kozik etc.) this particular example isn't one of my favourites. Still a fine 'outside of the box' idea though.
Re Jailbait. What a name. :shock: In 2022 it seems so wrong-headed, but perfectly era-appropriate for the early '80's. Wish i'd been aware of them in 1986 when i was 16.
I cannot, I shall not, I will not obey.

Service information...we inform you that Black Widow Records of Genoa will be present with its own stand at the Hellfest of Clisson in France for the entire duration of the festival (June 15,16,17,18) at which it will be possible to find our fanzine (15 euros) and the records of the Italian Metal Heroes series (25 euros) thus saving on shipping costs for those who will be present at the event; to avoid the risk of sold out you can pre-order what interests you on auashop.com and make the payment only at the time of collection during the event at the aforementioned stand :wink:

P.S. When ordering, remember to write "pick up at hellfest"
