Cover Art & Tentitive Specs
Amazon
UK managed to get a picture of the packaging for the release
and I must say I'm impressed. It looks very clean and simple
and definitely has that "special" vibe to it. Amazon
has also gotten what appears to be the first solid list of
specs. I have contacted Tartan about these and although they
appear final, they are still subject to change... Both art
and specs can be seen above...
