The first bump in the road was that no one had the original artwork. We left no stone unturned – we even reached out to the original designer, Gary Talpas, but he had given all his materials to Nothing Records long ago. Our best guess is that those materials were lost somewhere in Trent’s split with his old management.Yeah, there's more going on there than you might have first guessed. While you're reading about album art, you should also check out Rob's notes on how he created the artwork for the Social Network soundtrack, which didn't involve Photoshop so much as it did a text editor.
Anyway, at the time of posting, the pre-order price of the vinyl is $28.48, with a release date of December 7, 2010. In the past, pre-order prices have dropped in the days leading up to the actual release, and as always with Amazon, you'll get it for whatever the lowest price is between now and the actual release.
