Are any of you aware of a webpage with a detailed Katatonia discography oriented towards collectors? I would like to see different editions of each release etc. Thanks in advance.
 
Well, try to get your hands on everything the BEatles have released.. or the Stones, or even Iron Maiden and Metallica... Katatonia's disco is by comparison reasonably cheap.
 
Thank you very much. In case anyone cares about quantities, here is what I found at various Internet pages:

Does anyone know how many copies were pressed of the Dance of December Souls LP and the original Avantgarde Discouraged Ones LP?
 
I really want to know how many versions of the original release of BMD on Avantgarde there is. I have two which have two different color scemes...gold print and silver print.
 
I have made a list of all vinyl releases with pictures and details. It is available here: http://www.antenna.nu/?p=10715

Cool site, I didn't know some of the pressing info on certain releases. Btw, will you be adding test pressing information to your site? I know a few of them are floating around out there. I have the test pressings for the Dance of December Souls 2LP from Svart Records limited to 5 copies.

If you can supply information about test pressings (and maybe pictures as well), I will certainly add them to the list.

Do you know what happened to the four other test pressings of Svart's Dance of December Souls?
 
I uploaded a picture of my set of test pressings to discogs.com. You're welcome to use the picture or any information regarding the release for your site. Here is a link to the discogs page -

I don't know what happened to the other sets of tests from Svart although I know one was given away to a random person who pre-ordered. If you want more pictures just let me know.

Thanks a lot! I have updated the page with your picture.

I thought you were the lucky one who was picked at random. How did you get your hands on the test pressing?

it was told to me by the label guy that the first pressing of the DODS LP on hellion is limited to 500 pieces.

DO is in fact limited to 500, too.

I got it from someone who works at the label. Btw, the only other Katatonia test I've been able to track down was a Viva Emptiness one (also limited to 5 copies) that was sold on ebay a while back. Here is the link to the auction -

Can't believe I missed that, especially for such a cheap price. DAMN!! Oh, and here's a Last Fair Deal Gone Down CD Test/Promo? that I found on discogs -
