2 Disc Version of Blackwater Park

[Jasonic]

Hello all.
I have a question.
Per www.metal-archives.com, the 2CD slipcase version of BLACKWATER PARK was limited to 1000 copies.

Is this true?

I have seen many copies of this over the years. Kind of surprises me then to find there might only be so few of them.

i think its a lie, i dont even believe that the bwp was pressed in 1000 copies to be ohnest

I think it was limited to something like 2 or 3,000 in the first place, but it's definitely been rereleased or something. Initially it was fairly rare and it rapidly became valuable on ebay, but then a few months later I started seeing it in stores more often than I'd see the normal ones, which is STILL the case years later, so I think they rereleased it and decided to abandon the whole "super limited rare" aspect.

i think your right, the one on mfn was ltd to 1000, and then it got re-released by koch later on, if im not mistaken..

 

[Black Session]

I have never seen the 2 disc version in any store ... perhaps in Europe it actually is more rare? but you can still it true internet anywhere, so definitely not limited anymore ...

'lo,

I baught mine only 2 months ago, or something like that. From Denmark, payed normal price, about 180 NOK, aprox. 27$.

 

[Graft]

lol 27 for a cd?

here(argentina) we pay 7 dollars for the original.

 

[Braighs]

hmm... $12 at The End Records...guess I got lucky?

 

[Don Corleone]

i got one from amazon three years ago...maybe two? dont recall

27$ is pretty usual cd price here in Norway. Did you buy it online tgrude?

 

[AlexGuinness]

I think I can probably clear this up...

MFN re-released the album in limited format, Koch released it in the States. I think both were limited, but not that limited.

There is also a very limited (I believe to 1,000 copies) LP release. The vinyl BWP is possibly the hardest Opeth release to come by.

 

[Jasonic]

OK, thanks. Maybe the metal archives listing was speaking of the LP being limited to 1000 copies.

As I said, I have seen many copies myself, which I would find then hard to believe it being limited to only 1000.

Yeah, actually; it was disc-empyre.com or something like that, but the site isn't working properly atm.
