Whoever recently gave hundreds of euros to the italian selling a sealed copy on ebay (sold on walpurgisnacht) may regret that decision. A Nuclear Blast reissue is set to be released by the end of the year, it is next after the Whoracle reissue in August.

Why does not appear Icarus cd edition? As far as I know all their cds are absolutely legal.

Best sounding version of this album i've ever heard. Good job on this pressing. I have to assume this was recorded and mastered with vinyl in mind.

A few years ago I noticed that my CD was full of transparent dots and it didn't work. I have it renewed. I am totally disappointed.

The prices for these. RIDICULOUS. One seller overprices their copy and the rest follow suit.

Anyone know why this and other early In Flames album have been out of print on vinyl for so long?

DR12 . Sound is perfect. My copy is flat without even slight warp, no scars or scuffs to the surface, or any pits / depression and isn't off-center. No distortion on inner grooves. No need to increase the volume by 2-4db either as with so many albums. The only downside is the cover art is clearly upscaled from a lower resolution image, but all the logos and text are sharp.

My copy has the same exact Matrix as this one (with Mould IFPI is 5224, anyway) but HAS "Manufactured in " above the barcode

What is the best sounding version of this album on Vinyl? Same question as below, I'd love to own this but wondering which is best.
