Nuclear Blast, NB 2185-1 / 27361 21851, red 180gr vinyl, limited edition with machine numbered cover, reissue

    - BARCODE, as printed on the back cover: 7 27361 21851 5

    - RUNOUTS: side A, full runouts: B840396-01 A1 HL  NB 2185-1 A

                          side B, full runouts: B840396-01 B1 HL  NB 2185-1 B

                          side A, etched: NB 2185-1 A

                          side B, etched: NB 2185-1 B

                          side A, stamped: B840396-01 A1 HL

                          side B, stamped: B840396-01 B1 HL

    - NUMBER OF SONGS: 10 (5/5 grooves are cut though only 9 tracks are credited on this release, the extra track is the hidden keyboard solo)

    - VINYL: cut by HL and pressed by Optimal Media in 2008 based on the runouts

    - CENTER LABELS: red labels with white text

    - COVER: individually machine numbered and quite thin gatefold cover,

                    ℗ + © 2008 Nuclear Blast GmbH • Manufactured In Germany • NB 2185-1 • LC 07027

    - INNERSLEEVE: white polylined paper innersleeve, die-cut to show the center labels and all corners cut (the original innersleeve)

    - RELEASED: Made in 2008 based on the runouts, most likely also released in 2008.

                          Originally released in 1997.

    - OTHER: Originally released sealed without any stickers on shrinkwrap. Probably no more than 1000 copies were ever made on red vinyl (I've never yet seen a copy with

                     numbering over 1000) though some sellers claim 1500 or even 2500 copies were made.

    - NOTE 1: The keyboard solo has been added as extra uncredited track at the end of side B (you can count 5+5 grooves on this LP) but without the few minutes of silence.

    - NOTE 2: Due to the quite thin gatefold cover and the slippery polylined paper innersleeve the cover easily gets seam splits on the top seam even for sealed copies.

                     Later Optimal Media records have thicker cover to prevent seam splitting.

                          Originally released in 2000.

    - OTHER: Originally released sealed without any stickers on shrinkwrap.

                     Probably no more than 1000 copies were ever made on blue vinyl (I've never yet seen a copy with numbering over 1000).

    - NOTE 1: I once had a black vinyl test pressing of this record and from what I remember it sounded phenomenally better. 

    - NOTE 2: Due to the quite thin gatefold cover and the slippery polylined paper innersleeve the cover easily gets seam splits on the top seam even for sealed copies.

                     Later Optimal Media records have thicker cover to prevent seam splitting.

    - NOTE 1: The copy I have has some kind of pressing or manufacturing error and it has to be played with high needle weight or otherwise it skips frequently.

                      Based on my experience with RI pressed records, virgin vinyl pressings and what I've been told this is most likely a virgin vinyl pressing.

    - NOTE 2: Unity Mastering is actually credited for cutting the record on the gatefold cover ("lacquers prepared by" to be exact), which is VERY rare for vinyl releases.
