Burbank, CA– In what is sure to be a must-have for devoted fans and vinyl collectors, Warner Bros. Records will release My Chemical Romance’s 2004 breakthrough album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge on vinyl on December 16th, 2008.

The limited-edition vinyl version of the New Jersey-based band’s major-label debut includes one red vinyl disc in a custom jacket. The jacket features a die-cut logo stencil insert lettered in My Chemical Romance’s classic font. A sticker is also included in the package.

The band’s commercial breakthrough, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, was released by Reprise Records in June 2004.
