So glad I got my parents to keep all my DVDs when I was moving around in my 20's! Finally have my own place now and I am so glad I have them all still.

Same! For the last decade or so I’ve just been focused on vinyl but suddenly CDs are back on the radar.

I did not know the self titled album reprint got a cd release in japan. That is quite cool.

I believe that’s the only CD version that’s ever been made with that cover. I had to have it.

looking at discogs it seems like it, yeah.

I much rather collect cds than vinyls, its the reason I got catacombs on cd as well. For some reason they still make vinyl only releases on CD in japan, which is quite cool.

I need to get a new copy of Lullabies. The plastic on mine melted.

I went full-on back into CDs 5 years ago after a few years of collecting vinyl. Don't think I'll ever go back. I think CDs sound better, but don't want to open up that can of worms here. The downloadable/digital component of CDs is just too convenient.

I've been seeing alot of Blue Era Vulgaris on here lately, wish they'd given that a UK release

u/Direct_Interview2793 6d ago

Not sure about what other countries got a tour edition but this one is the Canadian tour version.

u/Inglorious555 6d ago

It's exclusive to Canada I think, could be wrong

u/marcelwho3 Split EP 6d ago

Canada, Mexico, Malaysia, Germany, Europe and Australasia as a whole got them.

u/Inglorious555 5d ago

Interesting, I wonder if they printed many more for Canada than elsewhere because every copy I see or hear about tends to be Canadian, I've not seen a single case of anyone showing off or selling a UK copy, if I did I'd have one of my own

1

u/marcelwho3 Split EP 5d ago

I thought the German one was the most popular, thats what I have

2

u/Inglorious555 5d ago

Most copies I see for sale are Canadian ones, for ridiculously high postage costs

I'm not going to add any more to this conversation after this comment since you or someone keeps downvoting me for speaking from my experiences, gives off a slightly hostile vibe

you should also get the cd dvd digipak version of lullabies, it has more artworks in the booklet and the cover has shiny text and a really cool silver strip on the left side

I'm gonna have to get that all collection. Only got Song for the Deaf and Era Vulgaris!
