Queens Of The Stone Age

This is the original Ipecac Recordings which does not have Domino stickering after being commandeered by Domino and Rekords Rekords. At the last minute Ipecac Recordings were dropped in favour of Domino Records after the album had been manufactured. Due to manufacturing problems at Domino, Queens Of The Stone Age used the Ipecac Pressing for sales during their US/Canadian tour supporting the record in March/April 2011. It was also used by Domino to fulfil some of the non European pre-orders. The majority of Ipecac Recordings copies were [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/2841676]commandeered and re-released by Domino and Rekords Rekords[/url], rebranded with stickering with the dropcard purged in favour of a generic Domino MP3 voucher card. Rekords Rekords and Domino eventually stripped the Ipecac sleeve away completely and released the Ipecac vinyl records themselves in [url=http://www.discogs.com/Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age-Queens-Of-The-Stone-Age/release/4859474]custom Domino and Rekords Rekords branded sleeves[/url]. Domino USA have stated that all vinyl versions of the repress used the same masters. The runout information on the European version suggests that separate vinyl masters were used.
