Vinyl question about re-release of BMD/DO

[weinerdog]

Can anyone tell me what the deal with this one is?

350 copies only, and they also have Discouraged One(also 350 made). Are these 'official' and band endorsed? Thanks for any help!

I thought these reissues were sold out, but apparently only the colors limited to 150 copies are.

I am sure they are official (as opposed to bootlegs), since they come from an established label like Century Media.

From what I know (Renkse actually told me so during an interview years ago), bands generally do not have much to say concerning reissues of their albums. But I have never heard any complaints from the Katatonia guys about these LP's (as opposed to some reissue of DoDS which they did dismiss), so that pretty much makes them band endorsed.

I got the BMD/FFTC 2LP Grey marble and I'm very happy with it. I'm surprised they lasted so long.
They are official reissues. Not sure how much the band was involved, but yeah they never dismissed them.
