joe conzo has a shitload more great pics on his website... i was doing a flyer for a Tony Tone gig and i contacted Joe and he was was super nice and sent like 10 jpegs of amazing old pictures. Dude has a treasuretrove of stuff and def. deserves to get some shine...
This package is great, honestly very engaging stuff here.
however........
Is anybody sick of this "limited edition" tagline? It has been a constant crutch of marketing depts during the streetartsneakercollectrovinyltoys boom. Especially guilty is the 3 tier limited edition system, which sucks people right in. It really makes you realize how consumeristic we all are, the glint of desire in our eyes. Again, I have to stress, this package is very nice, but I'm just tired of the marketing gimmick. There are plenty of products out on the market that are crap, but get over because of their limited edition tagline. Insert ____ x ____ collab.
I am down for limited edition raer food items though, KAMA TORO for days.

I actually agree with you.
to an extent.......
If it's a case where it's something like "limited edition green vinyl" or "alternate picture cover", the actual product is the same... You're paying extra for something that may have had a shorter run, but is essentially identical to its mass-produced cousin...
But when you receive additional goods with the package (e.g. wax, flyer, picture), I see no problem with marketing them as being "limited edition" or unique is some way, shape, or form...
Is it a marketing gimmick??? Yup... Are we consumeristic??? We're a nation of gluttons...

But it's a distinction that should be drawn...
