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.

No, its not the feet cover.

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! :zzz: :eek:

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'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...

And I have never seen the CD with the feets on it. Guess I have too keep my eyes open then. :p
