This is a deluxe package done right. Deathwish Records released the LP on a solid 180g vinyl with a 36 page hardcover picture book. The deluxe package sold for a very reasonable $30USD. The press was limited to 2000 copies, which I thought was a logical amount because it was just enough so dedicated fans could get one, but limited enough to make it special for vinyl collectors. Deathwish insisted on a strict one LP per customer rule to discourage resellers. The label also made sure to have a functioning website with servers capable of handling the demand of this release. This release made the recent Alexisonfire box set, which was sold by Dine Alone Records, look like such an amateur release.

The process was exactly as to be expected from ordering, to shipping, to the first play. There were inevitable delays along the way that I thought Deathwish handled extremely well. When compared to the delays of the past La Dispute deluxe edition (2011) and the Death Cab box set (2013) this was so much faster and easier. With that being said, a huge thanks goes out to Deathwish Records for keeping the buyers informed on the status of the shipment all the way through. The professionalism of this release did not go unnoticed.

The record was produced and engineered by Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Sunny Day Real Estate, etc) and mastered by Hans DeKline (Lisa Loeb, mewithoutYou, etc). The record sounds similar to Touche Amore’s past releases although is more tight and refined while having a more linear lyric structure.

Touche Amore is a hardcore band from California, formed in 2007.
