The box will also come with a 12-page booklet.
Dischord notes: “We have no idea of how many of these we should press, so we’ve decided to let the pre-orders make the call. This will be a mail-order only release and the window to place orders will be limited to one month (May 11th until June 11th, 2021).” The also say they can only be shipped individually so if you want more than one you’re going to have to place orders one at a time.
You can pre-order here and check out the artwork below.
