Limited edition of 2,000 copies, the first 1,000 of which consisting
of numbered "Collector's Edition" copies offered in October, 2010 and selling out
a couple of months later. Originally set to debut in December, 2010, the
"Collector's Edition" copies were delayed by manufacturing problems until
April, 2011. The second batch of 1,000 copies, offered for purchase late in 2010
after the previous edition sold out, shipped in May, 2011.
Both editions were primarily available on the burtonelfman.com website (which linked
to the online Warner Brothers and Reprise Records store), though the latter edition
was also sold via third party vendors at commercial online outlets. Both editions
fetched an initial price of $500, but the retail outlets were given an MSRP over
$600 from which to advertise $500 as a discounted price.
