    So what's the quality like? I'm not really interested in what pressing came out first. Since this is on double LP I'd like to know how the sound compares to the other pressings.

      Twilight Delirium is right! The Koch version was released in 2008 (see: http://www.allmusic.com/album/damnation-mw0000018590/releases ). The first issue has the catalogue number MFN294, released by the Music for Nations label, which closed its doors in 2004. The misleading thing about this Koch release is the 'available for the first time anywhere' sticker. I don't know why it says so, probably because it was released for the first time in the US. In addition, you won't find a version with this sticker on popsike.com which has been sold before 2008. Here you can see the details of a 2009 auction, which clearly states that this is a 2008 release, you can also see the sticker ( see: http://www.popsike.com/Opeth-Damnation-2HQLP-180gr-Deluxe-Vinyl/290330379183.html ).

        If you bought this thinking is a 2003 release you have been cheated
