Ayreon’s first 2 albums finally on vinyl
|Earlier this year Mascot Label Group announced the signing of Ayreon, the highly acclaimed project from singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist / record producer Arjen Lucassen to its label Music Theories Recordings. After re-releasing the Ayreon catalogue on various digital platforms in April, debut album The Final Experiment and follow-up Actual Fantasy: Revisited will see their first-ever vinyl release on August 26, 2016.
Of course there will be regular double black vinyls of The Final Experiment and Actual Fantasy: Revisited, but that’s just the beginning. Both albums will be released in a hardcover box set, on marble colored vinyl. A postcard (signed by Arjen) and newly created posters will be added to every pre-order as well. Did we mention that the bonus content will only be available on vinyl in these deluxe, limited box sets? This is your only chance to get the semi-acoustic tracks from The Final Experiment and the original Actual Fantasy on vinyl!
