01011001 to be released on vinyl
As we reported last month in the Arjen Lucassen newsletter #82, the new Ayreon album 0011001 is to be released on vinyl. However, there have been a couple of changes since we sent the newsletter.
First of all, the mid-March release date has been postponed. The new (but still tentative!) release dates are as follows:
01011001 vinyl release dates
Germany, Austria, Switzerland: 11 April
Europe: 14 April
USA: 22 April
Second of all, the triple-album set will be released on CLEAR vinyl, not on colored vinyl as previously reported.
We received the second round of test pressings late last week (the first pressing contained errors), and have subjected them to rigorous testing using the most advanced, high-tech audio equipment* (see photo) available at the time.
Stay tuned for more info!

wauw… hyper… calming down already..
*LOL* What a wonderful cheering up …. I really need that right now *Hugs*
Hmm, shame it ain’t coloured vinyl, always gives a special touch. But either way: yeey!
Am I the only one who thinks Arjen looks like Mickey Mouse ?

Marous, this is just a test pressing on normal black vinyl. The real thing will be on CLEAR vinyl, which looks really cool!
TAZ: *smack*
I’m sure it does!
Ouch! On a serious note: I guess the store is handeling pre-orders as well?

TAZ: You would be guessing correctly
We’ll be sending out info about this soon…
OK vinyl is great for those who like it but I’m a digital man. What about releasing a SACD or DVD-Audio high-resolution version of the album. A high resolution 5.1 mix would be awesome!
