In case anyone wants a copy of this classic Swans album, it's about to be re-released, but in a very limited edition. The following was sent to the Young God Records mailing list:

"Hello, Michael Gira here of Young God Records.
I hope this message finds you well and in good spirits...We have decided to make the material on the long out of print Swans album The Burning World available in very limited quantities, exclusively through the website http://www.younggodrecords.com and at live shows, to meet the repeated inquiries about it we receive here. This
special, handmade issue, with new art etc, will also include songs from White Light From The Mouth of Infinity, Love of Life, B-sides to related singles, and maybe (maybe!) the infamous MG version of Love Will Tear Us Apart, space permitting. These extra tracks will be
songs that weren't included in the Various Failures CD. The title of this cd will be: FOREVER BURNED. If you are interested in this upcoming CD, please click below. This will give us a clear idea of how many to make. Once we make them, they'll be gone forever, and we won't make any more. Thanks very much!
MG/YGR

From personal experience I can tell you MG is wonderful to deal with. When a package went missing recently, not only were 3 replacement cds on their way immediately, but also a free copy of the new Angels of Light cd, Everything is Good Here/Please Come Home.
