I’m not gonna lie, I’m almost always bummed with the results of purchasing label-specific mystery boxes. I know this going into the purchase, well aware of the needs of many labels wanting to do something creative to get rid of their overstock… and often, I already have that overstock from Pastepunk coverage. But Bridge Nine is a label that oozes credibility and having purchased one of their boxes before (with moderate satisfaction), I could readily justify the $23 (including shipping) to roll the dice in 2010. How do you think I did?

What’s in the box?

• 1. Bridge Nine t-shirt (in a size that I can wear, natch…)
• 2. HAVE HEART – Sound and Fury 2007 7″ (wheeee!)
• 3. Bridge Nine 2009 12″ Label Sampler compilation (wheeee?)
• 4. FAREWELL HOPE – One More Day into a Memory CD (Pre-RUINER band, released in 2002)
• 5. CEREMONY poster with digital download link to Bridge Nine 2010 digital sampler
• 6. Assorted stickers
