Ministry: Prescripture-The Visual History

Discussion
1

Pre-orders are up, the book will be released on December 9th.

Pretty excited about this, most of the content comes from Al’s personal collection. I contributed some early photos that I’ve gathered over the years, I’m hoping some made the cut.

Going off the sample pics…there is going to be ton of unseen images and text from 1981 to present day.

It comes in three variations-

Standard 200 page hard cover book (limited to 2000)

Deluxe edition: Book, T-shirt, Everyday Is Halloween (Acoustic w. D Navarro) Orange swirl 7" (500 numbered copies)

Deluxe edition signed by Al

Thanks for the heads up on this. Wow. Looks like some of the early photos from the Brian Shanley collection are also present. I will definitely preorder. It’s Always Christmastime on Prongs.

This book is $75?
I’m going to wait and hope someone sells a used copy somewhere.

Al Jourgensen Book Signing Event in Chicago

FAQs: One other item can be brought for signing except no “With Sympathy” (smh)

Here’s the video for the Everyday Is Halloween version that will be on the 7" that comes with the book.

I think it’s a bit overproduced, personally.

I really like it, the orchestral pieces are awesome. Al should do more in this style.

Thanks. I thought it was pretty good. Didn’t expect the orchestral accompaniment. Hope we get a proper digital release in addition to the orange vinyl.

Yeah pretty cool. Good to hear him focus on an older tune. I grabbed the book with this 7".

Yeah that’s pretty cool. I don’t imagine I’ll listen to it a ton but it beats the metal version. I do find it funny that Al needs a lyric sheet for this song though.

I dig it! I think the first one on the podcast is better though.
Holy Shit 75$ for a fucking autograph? Deluxe edition is 150$ unsigned 225$ with signature. What a joke.

Has anyone been lucky enough to track down one of the #hiddenhalloween vinyl singles during one of current tour stops? Cool giveaway.

Today was the Columbus show, I totally could have grabbed the 7" if I paid better attention to things on facebook… ah well. I’ll probably wait for one to turn up on ebay someday.

What is/was this? I looked up the # but couldnt find any explanation. Just buy some ministry merch At a show and you may get a free vinyl?
