Can anybody tell me, how many pieces of

STRATOVARIUS II

were sold?

And it did come out only in Finland?

Approximately 1000 copies were made

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

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.

It´s not really good:

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.

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.

I think you should just keep quiet, don't wanna do yourself an injury now do ya aye?

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

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

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

I have these Stratovarius II records..
White label vinyl testpressing with orginal letter from TT
Feet cover vinyl
Feet cover cd
Feet cover cd (1993 re-releace)

man that cover really sucks, but i will pay anithing for that rare gem

Now i finally got he cd.
it´s the one with the band picture (EMI/Bluelight)

Can it be, that the songs
out of the shadows
and
the hills have eyes
are switched on the cover?

On my simple and not rare Twilight Time cd the two songs are switched in the booklet... 6. out of the shadows and 7. hills have eyes in the booklet, 6. hills and 7. out in the cd
