De-Loused Storybook Sold on Ebay UK

Wow, went for nearly £50 in the end. A Tidy Sum!

I have one of these, not sure if its worth £50 but I will not be selling it all the same. Anyway, remember that you can just read it online!

Pre Order Amputechture

What I want to know is the release date of August 22nd correct for the UK?

It is usually a different release date here, we even got a different issue of De-loused. At least it was better with an extra 'track' :)

I am going to pre order an import copy of amputechture from Amazon UK anyway. Pre-Order Yours from the states aswell!

As for the Artwork, I think it is cool. Looks like they have flipped the painting, and obviously cut the rest of it off so it is square. I wonder whether the artwork will then fold out so you see the rest of it.

There are some studio photos on the mars volta myspace.
