LPLStaff Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Attendees at Linkin Park's show on Thursday were treated to event-exclusive merchandise after the show, including a surprise CD for lead single 'The Emptiness Machine'. The artwork comes from a painting Mike Shinoda did and the CD features two tracks - 'The Emptiness Machine' and the instrumental of the song. Copies were limited at the show, but so far no information has surfaced on the CD being sold online or at other concerts yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinez Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 If someone who have it can make a HQ scan of the front cover that would be awesome. Till we will get the HQ version of it from the scan or digital single (which I hope we will get soon), I created the cover from the photo you posted above and cut it just like it is in the CD case, hope you don't mid if I post it here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I’m not fully up to date with how record labels work these days but I’m hoping it means. By LP registering as an LLC they have self funded this From Zero operation and will earn the income directly. Warner Bros then pay Linkin Park LLC for distribution rights. Instead of WB owning all management rights and giving LP a cut of the income. WB are essentially paying LP differently which allows them to be free from stricter Record label contracts? May also solidify theories around Papercuts being an “End of Contract” requirement by WB? Given there’s on record details from the band stating they didn’t like the idea of “Greatest Hits” albums 🤷♂️ But all of that is a guess and should not be treated as facts. Financial decisions and business information really should be private to the Band unless they’re willing to share.

No worries, just trying to help. Didn’t realise we were after ultra high quality for printing etc. just snapped the photos for people to see inside and out 👌 I’m sure one of the other 120 people can do a better job 🫣 🤙 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
