it's the Take Me Away single that was only released in Finland (100 copies). Correct me if I'm being totally stupid and wrong :P

You are right, it was Take me Away the only-in-Finland release, but it was 1000 copies of it. :)

All I know is that it is quite rare indeed, about 20 bucks on eBay.
Well... if people are stupid to buy...

Most of those Visions Of Destiny are self-made copies.
From what I was told, there are really few "original" bootleg of it (500ex if I remember right)

One guy used to sell few of them on eBay.
I was a bit surprised and curious so I asked him questions about the item. He admitted that he made those CDs himself with CDR and label & cover he printed himself! When I asked him "and you sell them ???", he just said "but hei, this is a rare stuff!". I think he was banned from eBay, after I wrote to the site !

Hei, perhaps I should start to sell my own "Stratovarius in Lyon 96" bootleg
and get money from it !

No no... seriously, this is total bullshit. band get no money, but stupid assh*le get, with those silly bootlegs. Just stay away from eBay. You can find more illegal stuffs there than in the russian blackmarket !
Some people (not even fan of bands) take the gig advert posters in front of venues just to sell them 10€ or 20€ on eBay. some people (working in radios or magazines) get promo CD for FREE : they sell them on eBay.

@Dawn : I think my gf will be ok with the idea, as long as it's only to get your rare Strato stuff for free : she's a Strato fan too 8)

Well, bootlegs does not make the band any money, but I have bought so many cd's that I think I deserve that one ;)

My Visions of Destiny is the printed one, in a jewelcase. I have also heard of a digipack version? Or is that just rumours?
Blah!

That's true *now*, but you don't know how "freakie" I could be regarding these rare issues, and I'm on my way to get *all*... :roll:
Anyway, I think it'll be better if we just stay friends and forget about this "convenience marriage" :lol:
