While the vinyl run was cut in half a while back (1500), there's also a CD version up now with the book and stuff @ $100 US.
It looks like the release date was pushed back until November 27.
Releasing November 27th, 'The Glitz; The Glamour' is a 35-year retrospective of Perry Farrell's life, music and art that looks into his world outside the works of Jane’s Addiction and Porno For Pyros, to focus on 68 tracks worth of Perry’s Alt-Rock rarities and heart-pounding artistic explorations.

Weird. No email about the change and the shopify store still has 11/6 as the date (just checked again). But I suppose aside from the always difficult roll outs for PF, delays have been par for the course in the days of covid.

I was expecting this to be released today. With that in mind after work on Wednesday I paid the balance I owed for my copy. I wanted to make sure I was all set and there wouldn’t be any delay in shipping. Then one hour and 20 minutes after paying I received the same email as you. Sadly these kind of delays are to be expected nowadays I suppose.

What do you think of the book? Lots of rare pictures? Any flyer artwork that you’ve not seen before?

Mostly family pictures, a few bits of handwritten lyrics, i don't think there's any new flyers. Text is basically just captions, wasn't expecting much, but..... No bandana and the prints aren't signed in the CD version. Not sure why Born To Be Wild, Hope or that Pirate Punk Politician with Public Enemy aren't included...I'm sure there's other things i'm forgetting that they did too...

Discogs entry just updated to include "numbered," which the webstore does say is part of the box ("strictly limited to just 1500 numbered units"), but I don't see anywhere on the release that it's actually numbered. Am I missing something here? Anyone have a box that is numbered, and if so, where?
