Clear fly was only 100 pressed. Mean for the bugs. Unless they died of natural causes. Why?0

Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0 -
I could swear I read that they aren’t actually real flies (I’ll try to find a link).Loujoe said:

Figure 40 flies each lp x 100 = a lot of death
How many of these will end up broken by someone who’s not in on the gag, lol?"The world is full of idiots and I am but one of them."

Yeah, I don’t know how I ended up with the idea they weren’t real flies, every single article I checked (5 or 6) all said they’re real flies, lol. I think it’s because they’re mostly referenced in quotes (“real flies”) and that misled me, lol.Kwieneke said:

Maybe they were dead already pulled from a dumpster. Pretty creative.0

the maker said it was surprisingly hard to track down dead flies. seems hard to believe.Loujoe said:Maybe they were dead already pulled from a dumpster. Pretty creative.Noblesville 5.7.2010. Lexington 4.26.2016. Nashville 9.16.2022. St Louis 9.18.2022.

From Yahoo:
The fly vinyl was manufactured by Indianapolis-based vinyl mavericks Romanus Records, who have a history with this sort of thing. Last year they released a maggot-filled vinyl album for local punk outfit Pat & The Pissers, while other records have been filled with sand, razor blades, Doritos, brick dust, leaves, marigold flowers, blood and scorpions. Romanus are also responsible for a lathe-cut limited edition for Nashville duo Volk made out of real snakeskin.
"Excited to announce Romanus Records are making these amazing bizarre beauties in conjunction with the good folks at Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group," says Romanus head honcho Chris Banta. "Filled with real dead flies. It was actually pretty difficult to get a hold of real dead flies. Absolutely iconic band, album, and more. Video and more behind the scenes content to come!"
Sadly, the fly-filled edition of Jar Of Flies, which is limited to just 150 copies and retails at $167, is already sold out.

thanks for the heads up. had the color in my cart but $43 dollars including shipping. I paid $23 for the preordered black version at my shop in Indy. hard to justify doubling the price.andrew68 said:colour and black vinyl just dropped againNoblesville 5.7.2010. Lexington 4.26.2016.
