Pain Don't Hurt: The Second Edition
I founded Mutual Skies two years ago to publish a hardcover compendium of Sean T. Collins’ 365 daily meditations on the movie Road House. Since then, the imprint has grown to a staff of four, and we’ve released eight CDs and two gatefold double-LPs.
The 100-copy first edition linen hardcover of Pain Don’t Hurt sold out within 48 hours. To satisfy ongoing demand, we put out a paperback edition exclusively through MZS.press in 2021. After three printings, the paperback is now out of print as well.
Given that Sean recently contributed an essay to the perfect-bound book included with Vinegar Syndrome’s UHD 4K Blu-Ray of Road House, and that a “gritty reboot” is in the works starring Jake Gyllenhaal, we thought it high time to bring the original article back for another round.
Available in “Double Deuce” neon sea-green linen — color-matched to the Barnes & Noble soundtrack LP — and limited to 200 copies, the second hardcover edition of Pain Don’t Hurt is available now from Mutual Skies.
