Can you tell me how much is that "few" euros?

crayc · Post by **crayc** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 1:11 pm

Well, it were really a few.
6,33 including shipping.

i´ll post the link, so everybody can have a look

It used to be my avatar, but I changed it! I thought the cover was cool--the barefeet like someone on their hands and knees begging or something. I tried to give some analysis of that cover.

most covers of albums mean something--they are not just there to give us a pretty picture to look at!

I could put my avatar link here, but its real small. I briefly looked for a bigger image, but could not find one.

If you have Stratovarius II with "feet cover" it's orginal Finland releace and it have made 1000. But if you have II with "band" cover its re-releace what are sold out of Finland. That are not rare.

crayc · Post by **crayc** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:58 pm

No, its not the feet cover.
It´s the one with the band.

So, they sold this album with two different covers and two different names outside finland???

The one with the band is just another Twilight Time with different cover--not rare. But, you do have Twilight Time with the band cover&thats good, too because it is different.

wtf?
I'm sounding like Goldie Hawn here, I better go to bed&get some sleep!

Maybe you know what I mean.

The original Stratovarius II cover shows two feets, and it's the worst cover Stratovarius ever made. But it's the version they made with their own money, so it's rare. The version with this cover is not that rare, but the first one I never saw available anywhere.

Here is it: Cover

Here's a related question: How many copies of the Fright Night LP were made?

The reason I ask is that I bought one copy a few weeks ago.

Thats a good question!
I would think it would be considered rare, too.

I guess if a person wanted to know they could "Google" it....
I'll see in a minute...

I have the CD with the band and the vinyl with the feet. I dunno but according to TK at least the vinyls I have are original.
And I have never seen the CD with the feets on it. Guess I have too keep my eyes open then. :p

CottonCandy · Post by **CottonCandy** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 6:38 pm

DAMN!

I have a listing for sale of FRIGHT NIGHT LP for $69.00!

http://www.cdandlp.com/listing/2/0-1104 ... METAL.html

I also found out that FRIGHT NIGHT is a movie--it is ranked as the #3 Vampire movie of the '80s.....

I wonder if thats where TT got the idea for the name

crayc · Post by **crayc** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 11:08 am

Now i finally got he cd.

Ethereal · Post by **Ethereal** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 2:00 pm
