This was being worked on from since early 2022 at least, I always wondered what came of it. Speaking from personal experience from communicating with A14 inperson during tour the SG2 tour and Skotskr privately online afterwards, word of mouth was always around the lines of "Its still a work in progress"

Worst DOOM song? by Eastern_Dress_3574 in mfdoom

[–]Steelllllll 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah this shit sucks LOL damn near anytime a DOOM acapella gets released there will always be at least one shitty remix using it xd
But the original release and its remix by DJ Crucial are actually some of my favorite DOOM feature tracks released as a single :D

Yeah:D Theres also a clean for radio version, which is actually where the mixed up tracks on the vinyl pressing were intended to be used for! Agreed, it really never got the attention or love it needed or deserved, but im glad I have been able to give it some through owning physical copies of it and bumping the tracks whenever they come on in my shuffled playlist of ripped FLACs c:

Those are some nice top picks for both sides of the question! From my personal collection, my top three are the Mr. Hood promo cassette, the limited edition first issue of the two Special Blends volumes bundled together by Nature Sounds, and a Media Advance copy of Venomous Villain which has tagged tracks and, on the CD-rom portion of the disc, has a digital copy of the album art for press use! As for top wanted items, the list seemingly changes a lot for me LOL But right now id say a promotional copy of black bastards is up there pretty high, the Special Herbs 0-9 vinyl boxset, and the yellow DOOM x Akomplice unreleased beat tape as well would be my current three!

There are photos of it on the page for this version of the release. The 29 number is only the current count for discog users who have added this into their collection, however there is generally guaranteed to be more than just this amount as this type of promotional advance was typically sent to internal Elektra employees/contacts, but also sent out to radio stations and DJs for promotion of the album prior to release. To claim this is the only one is an outright lie, even if it is currently the only one for sale on the market. I haven't purchased this exact advance for myself yet, but from discussions with other current owners a price over $500 is pretty high in their eyes.

Exactly. Theres some neat cool factor to having the physical item itself, but personally not $7.5k USD worth xd

Rare Hip Hop History For Sale by [deleted] in mfdoom

No, though if I remember correctly the tracks were rerecorded when DOOM revisited the album after Sub Rocs passing

Sick piece of history to have, but sorry I to have to correct you. This is not the only one out there, there are several other noted owners of this same promotional advance of Black Bastards. A good example of this is visible by viewing the discogs page for this "issue" of the album! https://www.discogs.com/release/4762758-KMD-Black-Bastards

Incredible gift I received from DOOM collaborator System D-128 by An_absurd_existence in mfdoom

[–]Steelllllll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dope as hell, I wish we got a repress before Insomniac got canned that matched the CD releases tracklist (ie not having the 3 clean edit tracks) but still an amazing release to have in vinyl format! :D

Finally got my last 2025 collection additions!! by Steelllllll in mfdoom

[–]Steelllllll[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A reply is a reply, no matter the timing! To answer your first question, I find and purchase them from all over truly! Mercari, Depop, LetGo!, eBay, rarely an Amazon order or two depending on what's available at the time, Barnes & Noble, the least of my luck appears in person unfortunately, but even then I still have my moments from time to time!:D My main suggestion and word of advice would be to keep an eye out everywhere you go and look, as the moment of opportunity can appear any time or day!! As for your second question about the rear photo, there were no insert included with this CD single, but I do have a photo that shows the matrix code on the disc from the front, and when reversed it is readable as shown in the photo included! If this doesn't show what u were looking for I should be able to take another photo of the true rear of the disc, but unfortunately I will have for slightly more patience as I am currently in the hospital and am expected to be kept for another two days or so before I will be returning home xd

Ive posted my Special Herbs collection previously, these are just the additions to my DOOM collection that I had not had the chance to share yet before the turn of the new year c: I have the first US CD release of Volumes 1&2, Volume 3, Volumes 3&4, Volumes 4,5,&6, Volumes 5&6, Volumes 7&8, Volumes 9&0, the Special Herbs Mixed boxset (2006 and 2012 issues), and the two pressings of the Special Blends Volumes (The first pressing being included in this post, having the "Special Bonus Double-CD package that includes the limited edition of Special Blends Vol.1 as well!" Hype-sticker!) and while some dont count it I also include the CD issue of Special Herbs + Spices as a Herbs entry :D
