BEHOLD! The Encyclopedia Metallicus Vol I is ready!

The all-conquering "Encyclopedia Metallicus, Vol I" really should be played at volumes that make transport noise comically irrelevant. As Spinal Tap would say, it should be turned up to Eleven!

Screw 11, I can turn it up to +12!...

You forgot the "L" in sampler on the cover.

Rob Babcock · « **Reply #43 on:** 24 Feb 2004, 01:06 pm »

Fer Crissakes, you're right!

I edited it right at mailing time and I missed it!

Looks like I'll need to do a reprint!

Rob Babcock · « **Reply #44 on:** 24 Feb 2004, 10:16 pm »

Alright, I've changed the cover on my PC, all future versions will be a "sampLer."

I was gonna suggest misprint adds uniqueness, but I'm glad I didn't have to!

Hope no one is too bothered by it: I could reprint a corrected cover for anyone who really wants one.

I intended to mail the next batch today, but thanks to Duff pointing out the typo I decided to reprint the covers for the new batch- that pushes it back til tomorrow. But no later than that.

I already sold my copy on eBay for $75.00. Samper Fi! The buyer said he would put it in a plastic sleeve and never listen to it, just covet it. Hey, whatever floats yer boat...

Rob Babcock · « **Reply #49 on:** 26 Feb 2004, 01:15 am »

Okay, I think I've shipped one to everyone who's requested one, except Brad (got your addy to late to make this batch- I'll get one out in the mail at the earliest opportunity).

If anyone in the first group didn't get theirs yet, let me know.

Oh BOY!!!
I really need to add my comments here since I received the CD yesterday (thanks again Rob, you RULE!!!)...

What can I say... I was FLOORED to see how f@#$#ing cool this CD looks.
The amount of time, love and care that has been put into Rob's brainchild is evident all over...
It is surely a masterpiece and I feel proud to have it in my collection...
Thank you Rob for your awesome effort.
Although, I gotta admit that now I would never attempt to add my compilation disc to the AC collection.
Nathan and Rob have raised the bar so high, I'd need a month of full time work on it to approach their efforts...

Well, that'd be quicker than Rob...

Very true!

Yours is in the mail, too, Bubba. Should have it before too long.

bubba966 · « **Reply #53 on:** 27 Feb 2004, 06:13 am »

Well, it might have to wait until my digital coax comes back from it's East Coast vacation...

Altough, I bet it woulda sounded nice in the company vehicle I was driving today. The factory Levinson system in the 2004 Lexus GX470 (fully loaded mind you...

) was the damn sweetest sounding factory stereo I've ever heard. Hell, it might be the best car stereo I've ever heard...

Oh, I love my new job.

Andrikos · « **Reply #54 on:** 27 Feb 2004, 03:57 pm »

Levinson eh...?
I wonder if it's any better than BOSE!

bubba966 · « **Reply #55 on:** 27 Feb 2004, 04:36 pm »

Well, maybe the Bose is better than the Levinson...

Rob Babcock · « **Reply #56 on:** 28 Feb 2004, 02:14 am »

It'd be hilarious if you were playing it in the company car and forgot & left it in the player! Your boss would probably call the cops and an exorcist!

bubba966 · « **Reply #57 on:** 2 Mar 2004, 04:42 am »

Got my "fast, hard & loud metal samper" today.

Looks like you better watch out for lawsuits Rob!

You put the CD logo on it w/out it comforming to Redbook standards...

Looks quite nice. Never seen a CD/DVD case like that before. Kinda like it...

Looks like we should chip in & buy you a decent paper trimmer...

Guess this means I should pull out a digital & hook my AX10 back up since my Napalm is out on a world tour.

bubba966 · « **Reply #58 on:** 2 Mar 2004, 05:07 am »

Oh man, so far this disc reminds me of Bill & Ted...

Can't help but laugh at the moment.

Please don't shoot me for that comment Rob...
