Who else owns the original pressing of Orchid?

- Start date
I have the original European Morningrise (no name and no logo). And I also got the blue Orchid CD as well.

I do remember my thoughts when the album cover arrived though:
"a big gay flower??!!??"
haha i can see that lee, a band of swedish guys with long hair who sing death metal going "yeahh umm so were gonna have pink flower on the cover, what do you think?" *blank stare*, do you remember if 11 years ago you thought Opeth would become as big as they are now?
well, had they sounded the same throughout their career as they did on orchid...they wouldnt have gotten to be as big as they are now IMO.

Me me me me! 
And since we've only seen images of the american pressing, here's one of the original european pressing (no logos or track listings anywhere):

I've got the american one as well. It's not the original i thought? I thought it was rereleased by Century Media when they signed in 1998? anyway, proof:

No. You are correct. It's not the "original original pressing" so to speak. It's the "original american" pressing. The original european pressing is from 1995 (Candlelight) and it's a totally blue disc with no logo or track listing (see the pic of my copy above).Mumblefood said:

yeah the early orchid cd looks like a cd-r 
, i have the original morningrise euro pressing, when i first got it i thought it was a bootleg or some shit with the funny printed cd, and especially the crude back inlay haha. then i investigated and found it was the original.

I'm pretty darn sure I bought Morningrise the week it was released in Sweden. And the actual CD has the new logo (not the booklet though). See picture below. So if noone has switched mine out at a later point in time, it should be the original (european) pressing from 1996.ViCyniC said:

Meh, I dont care about original cds or anything. I wasnt into Opeth back then, and Ill be one of the first to admit it, as everyone always trys to say they were a fan for longer than they were. I got the original Ghost Reveries and MAYH

I have the Orchid tin. That happened to be more available so I got that. Stupid bonus track though.
I do have the American originals of Morningrise and MAYH (no bonus on either.) I found those in like 2003.

Just dont listen to them. they are at the end of the album for just that purpose. When the album is over, just dont listen to the last song. I love the bonus song on MAYH, Remember Tomorrow though. Its such a great song, and I love the riffing on it, so punkish, but good. I hope they play it on the Chronology tour, but I doubt it. Would probably get an ill reaction cause fans seem to hate bonus tracks that bands release as extra goodies. Unappreciative bastards :Spin:

REAGAN SMASH!
Im getting both Morningrise and Orchid original pressing shipped to me...not too sure if its gonna the very first pressing, but it doesnt have the bonus tracks so thats all i wanted 
EDIT: Most likely gonna be the US original presses. Oh well. Hopefully ill find the very first presses somewhere and buy them

Umm... No. It would be silly of me to say I've been a fan of Opeth before they released their first album, since I didn't even live close to Stockholm at the time.EternalMetal said:
