"There are just a handful still available," says Bainbridge of the Patreon version, which will be available soon. "Only 75 of these are being made!"

The Patreon-only version will include items exclusive to this version of the release, including, art cards featuring the album’s artwork, both CDs from the 2 CD version of the album (ie the album plus a bonus disc), a 3rd CD exclusive to this release, a special booklet which will include photos of the patrons who have pre-ordered this version, a CD-sized signed certificate and a 10% off store discount, valid for a year off any item in Bainbridge's Music Glue store.
