The previously announced Interscope Vinyl Collective version of the Swan Songs vinyl has been making its way out to subscribers to the record service over the past month or so, with more coming later this month – and with many special thanks to SCNFDM Discord mod Gabey_515, we’ve got a full in-hand gallery of what fans can expect from this remastered re-release!
Check out the full gallery below, where Gabe’s captured shots of the holofoil band logo on the cover – as well as pics of the individual vinyls themselves, the inner artwork, as well as track lists and special thanks sections (which notably include some deltas from the previous release of Swan Songs, though there’s no indication on why the minor differences)-
The full listing for the IVC release of Swan Songs can be found here, but we’ve also reproduced the full info on the repressing below for posterity-

Armed with mysterious personas, party-rap lyrics and an aggressive, exuberant fusion of hip-hop, hard rock, and pop, Hollywood Undead exploded from MySpace darlings — they were the first band signed to the social media platform’s label — to bona fide stars.
On their 2008 debut, the group enlisted production help from Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails) and Don Gilmore (Linkin Park) to create an album that, to quote The Punk Site, “swaggers through your speakers in [a] self-confident, cocky way.”
Album opener “Undead” interpolates and upends the riff from Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train” to set the scene for the rest of the album. The minor-key party vibe of “Everywhere I Go” mingles with the group’s ode to their home state in “California,” while album standouts “No. 5” and “Young” deliver the record’s catchiest hooks, placing the group beyond their rap-rock peers.
“If you’re looking for the soundtrack to that one crazy party,” wrote The Punk Site, “this just might be the little gem for which you seek.”
