Camper Von Beethoven

I got a letter in the mail from Independent Project Records today.
I'd written them concerning the Camper Von Beethoven record
Telephone Independent Landslide Victory.  Most of their records
are real fancy jobs with hand-printed (that is, printed with some
sort of fancy printing press) sleeves.  Now, this Camper Von Beethoven
record is sold out of the letterpress-printed editions, and what's
available is the offset-printed ones.  There's no different price
listed for the supposedly cheaper offset-printed edition, and I was
wondering if anyone could clarify this for me.

I've been listening to the Cocteau Twins' Tiny Dinamine for the past
couple of months.  (no, it wasn't my first exposure to them...snobs.)
Is anyone else annoyed by what appears to be a slight case of tape bleed?
Didn't someone say this recording is a couple of years old?  On the
song "Plain Tiger", I could swear Liz is saying "After the task of adding up"
at one point, and at another is saying quite loudly and distinctly, "You suck!"
Does anyone have any interpretations of these guys' lyrics, or confirmation
of the Greek rumor.
