pretty mutch rare i assume.. but i would like to know numbers.. yea.. how mutch of them were pressed ? anyone got an idea of that ?

i would like number of pressing for my JEM vinyl too.. i only know numbers for miniCD version and demo tapes..

ah.. what about discouraged ones numbers? .. the only number i know is brave murder day's, saw you drown and great cold distance..

 

[FatefuL]

i even mailed Hellion records ( Brazil ) to get how many Dance of December Souls' vinyls were pressed but got no response.. i would like to know how rare is my copy too.. still looking for some other ones to sell on ebay ! lol.

 

[Deliverance6]

I believe the blue JEM was 500.....same with the FFTC pic disk.....not sure at all about the DODS lp...although I think it would be safe to assume there were 500 of those pressed as well.....no clue about the DO lp.....

 

[Hobo]

I used to have a list o all releases, with labels, differences, amounts pressed etc etc,
But I think it must have been lost when i formated my computer, 'cus i cant find it...

 

[MadTinus]

Your TGCD vinyl looks damaged in the lower right corner, shame! And price tags on CD's (let alone records!!), arrggh, can't stand that! Off they must go!!

how rare is the "for funerals..." picture disc you framed there Hobo?
I didn't even know they were pressed

BMD was pressed on violet vinyl, black vinyl and picture disc by Northern Silence Productions (run by our friend norgash here on the forum), the picture disc is limited to 444 copies, the violet vinyl to 333 copies and I don't know about the black one (don't have it..). All versions are still available from NSP I believe, he's still listing them on ebay, correct me if I'm wrong.

It would be really nice if info like this would be listed in the disco-section on the Kata-site, it's a shame so many bands don't do that, it's really the kind of info you wanna see on a band's official site (at least I do..).

Agreed.

[in reference to release quantities, etc...] It would be really nice if info like this would be listed in the disco-section on the Kata-site, it's a shame so many bands don't do that, it's really the kind of info you wanna see on a band's official site (at least I do..).

And agreed.

yeah this is good information.

Anders to the rescue!

By the way guys, you should never leave the shrink wrapping on vinyls. Some companies use shrink wrapping that just keeps on shrinking. Thus if you are unlucky you may end up with a warped record after some time.

I've seen one case like this in my life. I ordered Zyklon's Aeon LP, and the wrapping was so tightly around the covers it had warped the LP when it got to me. Back then I didn't know what caused this, but I got the information above from a Finnish owner of a black metal distro, who obviously has seen quite a lot of vinyls during his life.

Cool, I'll email Hammerheart/Karmageddon Media about the Jhva Elohim Meth vinyl. I'll also email Avantgarde about DO and FFTC.

I got the info of the BMD vinyl from the NSP website:

Black vinyl gatefold: 444 handumbered copies (1st 144 with poster)
Purple vinyl gatefold: 333 handnumbered copies (all with poster)
Picture disc gatefold: 444 handnumbered copies (1st 144 with poster)

Anders, maybe you personally know how many copies were pressed of the Dance Of December Souls Brazilian LP? As far as I know and heard it's 500.

I though you told me you hate those big round black shiny thingies with the hole in the middle...(no i'm not talking about a black man's penis )

i've come to the darkz zide!

It is the shrinkwrap that is damaged, not the cover itself (btw, i did not know about that destroys records thing.. must take it off then..)
however, the inlay on my VE record was damaged at delivery.. curse the bloody post office for ignoring the "handle with care" signs..
And the pricetags are not on the covers but on the plastic case thing around the albums.. ergo, the records are not damaged

feeling adveturouz eh? I guess now your mission is to get as many Diabolical MaZquerade vinyls as possible.

 

[MadTinus]

Does that go for the Sounds Of Decay digi as well?

@ Hevimees, thanks for the tip, I usually always take the shrinkwrap off, but I left it on my TGCD 0001/2000 (for no particular reason actually), but I took it off now.

 

[coronerox]

All I can say, is that I'm jealous of you guys

Well at least one of the 500 copies of the DODS is mine...

well i got both my Serenades and Jhva Elohim Meth LP's on plastics .. they're not sealed from factory.. but got those plastic sleeves.. so must quite using them too ?

You can keep on using those, they are quite safe to use

As I said, the original shrink wrapping that they put on some records at the factory may be the kind that just keeps on shrinking. The type of wrapping used varies, so this doesn't always happen.

So if you are planning on keeping a newly bought sealed record for a long time, you should take the wrapping off since it may be the kind that just keeps on shrinking.

I thought the numbers were on the cover, not the plastic?

Nope, that would be the 'lazynes' part (i rarely bother to remove them from cd´s.. dunno why..)
