Matt Welch of Get On Down explains the just-released trophy box set of Ghostface Killah's "Ironman." The product comes with an 24 karat Gold CD, enhanced liner notes, stickers and a puzzle.

Today (February 25), Boston, Massachusetts-based Get On Down Records in association with Sony Records have announced the Premium Collection release of Ghostface Killah's 1996 solo debut, Ironman. The limited edition (2,000) copies Audiophile release includes a 24 karat gold disc CD for highly-enhanced audio quality, a cherrywood trophy case where the album is stored with a custom-made "Ironman" plaque, and 48-page inserts featuring artwork, lyrics and liner notes by Chris Faraone. Additionally, orders directly through Get On Down's website will included two gold foil stickers and a 12" x 12" cover art jigsaw puzzle. The pieces are available for the in-the-know pricing of $49.96.

Yesterday, HipHopDX spoke with Get On Down's President Matt Welch on the decision to do this particular album, following a similar presentation in late 2012 with Nas' debut, Illmatic. "I think it's the consensus around here that Ghostface [Killah] is on everybody's Top 5 lists," explained Matt. "So for us, we wanted to request to work with [Ironman]. We're also planning on doing a Supreme Clientel release at the end of the year." Get On Down previously reissued both albums on vinyl with rare promotional posters included. Asked about the ongoing relationship with G.F.K.'s early catalog, Welch stated, "Sony has been great to work with." Sony and Get On Down have also partnered on reissued materials from labels like Loud Records and Profile Records in the past.
