ok, opeth were into candlelight, then moved to peaceville for still life, and then to music for nations for blackwater park and the next 2 masterpieces [no doubt about this!!!!]
the story is this:
candlelight has published the first 3 cd's: orchid, morningrise and mayh
then peaceville released still life.
while opeth signed at mfn, peaceville was re-printing some cd's of its bands, like anathema's serenades, silent enigma, eternity or my dying bride's turn loose the swans and something by at the gates, darkthorne & co.
into these re-releases there was also still life: these cd's contained NO BONUS TRACKS, just had around a paper slipcase with the same cover [and so these AREN'T DIGIPACKS]
then, after the release of blackwater park, candlelight, the first opeth label, re-printed orchid, morningrise and mayh, also on VINYL EDITIONS. every reprint has got bonustrack(s):
on orchid you find INTO THE FROST OF WINTER
on morningrise you find ETERNAL SOUL TORTURE
on mayh you find the two covers from iron maiden [REMEMBER TOMORROW] and celtic frost [CYRCLE OF TYRANTS]
in these editions appears the opeth logo on the cover, and the booklet of the cd's is different from the original. on a page from orchid and morningrise, mikael wrotes some lines talking about the bonus tracks: into the frost... and eternal... are songs from the pre-orchid era, and that's why they sound bad. anyway, they're pieces of history, if we consider that some riffs were used for ADVENT [and i think the reason because opeth ALWAYS play live this song is that it's a milestone which contains many many memories from the past]
so, i don't know if it's worth to buy the cd's re-releases [i think also that the logos on the cover figure out very bad!!!!], but i think that an opeth fan shoul possess those old songs!
now, you know everything about these opeth releases. and go to audiogalaxy and search for these 4 songs, if you still haven't done it!
