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. T he 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!
