ICED EARTH
Error-pressing of box set in limited circulation!
We were extremely shocked, to say the least, to learn on November 26th when the first e-mails and telephone calls delivered the bad news to us: a small number of the long-awaited Iced Earth 5-CD Box, "Dark Genesis", had unfortunately been misprinted and were already in circulation. The labels of the following CDs had been incorrected printed on these discs: "Iced Earth", "Night Of The Stormrider", "Burnt Offerings" and "Enter The Realm". The "Tribute To The Gods" CD does bear the correct label, however.
The boxes had just arrived that very same day in our own warehouse, as the initial quantities had been sent direct from our manufacturing plant to various distributors in order to meet the box set's official release date. So in due haste, we opened a number of copies and checked all the discs - most of them were fine, but a couple of the ones we opened did have this very problem with the music discs being mis-labelled (all of the music was there, just with the wrong CD label). A frantic phone call to our manufacturing plant and some double-checking on their part confirmed it: on the very first pressing day, they had switched their information in the computer before it was manually started up again (correctly) the next day. Therefore, they estimate that 3,000 - 4,000 of the boxes worldwide may be affected with the misprint.
This unfortunate mistake, while solely resting with the manufacturing company and beyond our control, is nonetheless an embarrassment to the band and the box set which we had worked so hard to make a very special package in time for the holiday season. Although the percentage of mispressed box sets seems to be relatively low and you would not be likely to encounter one, our manufacturing plant has agreed to replace all of the incorrectly-labelled CDs that anyone wishes to return, something we hope will even further minimize the erroneous quantities found on the market. All unshipped copies of the error pressing were returned to the manufacturing plant to be refurbished and corrected, so only those very first versions already in retail shops which have not been returned should bear the possibility of being stricken with this error.
If your particular copy of the "Dark Genesis" box has been affected by this error, you are urged to do the following: just send the four incorrectly-labelled CDs to the address below, and we will promptly dispatch you the four correctly-printed discs postpaid along with a Century Media freebie item to accomodate you for the inconvenience.
Send only the four mislabelled CDs (without the box itself or the fifth disc) to:
